Prince William, Princess Kate’s ‘weird’ moment with Prince Harry and his ex<\/p>\n
King Charles\u2019 former butler Grant Harrold is looking back fondly at Prince William and Prince Harry\u2019s life before their feud. <\/p>\n
Long before they were the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, Harry and William used to go out for low-key pub nights with their partners Princess Kate and Chelsy Davy (Harry\u2019s last serious relationship before Meghan Markle). <\/p>\n
Speaking to GB News at the launch of his memoir, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life of Royal Service, Harrold recalled how the foursome would often be spotted at a local pub near Tetbury in Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d seen him in the local pubs. It was quite weird. That doesn\u2019t happen now,\u201d Harrold said, with a former royal gardener reminding him the venue was called The Custard Pot.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe used to go in there, and you\u2019d walk into the bar and you\u2019d have William and Harry and Kate and Chelsy Davy, all sitting there. Just having a drink, which is quite weird. They were just fun. As I\u2019ve said all the way along, they were just a family that all got on really nicely. It was always a fun place to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harrold, who worked for King Charles for seven years, noted those moments reflected a freer time for the princes, before the glare of public scrutiny grew stronger.<\/p>\n
Harry and Chelsy dated on and off between 2004 and 2011 and remained friends long after, with the Zimbabwe-born lawyer attending both William\u2019s and Harry\u2019s weddings in later years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William, Princess Kate’s ‘weird’ moment with Prince Harry and his ex King Charles\u2019 former butler Grant Harrold…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-391298","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-meghan","13":"tag-meghan-markle","14":"tag-prince-harry","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115133496413009698","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
