Ex-royal butler Paul Burrell has asserted that Meghan Markle’s<\/a> ambition for fame and her cultural differences with the British Royal Family have made the collapse of her marriage to Prince Harry<\/a> “inevitable.”<\/p>\n

Burrell, Queen Elizabeth II’s and later Princess Diana’s personal butler, said this in an interview with the Daily Mail Royals<\/a> YouTube channel to promote his new book, The Royal Insider: My Life with the Queen, the King and Princess Diana.<\/p>\n

Making a neutral comment, Burrell expressed, “I don’t think Meghan ever considered being a supporting actress. I think she wanted to be a star.<\/p>\n

Burrell elaborates on this concept<\/a> in his book and writes, “She wanted to be the star but she would always have second billing to the future Queen Catherine.”<\/p>\n

He added, “While Meghan wanted celebrity status, she did not want to conform to the rules of the House of Windsor.<\/p>\n

Being American, she struggled to understand the culture of the Royal establishment with its rules and protocols.”<\/p>\n

The ex-palace staffer also stated he feels the divorce of Harry and Meghan is only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an interview, Burrell said, I think the two cultures which came together in the marriage of Harry and Meghan, there is a fault line down the middle of it and I feel that will crack one day.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Looking back at Harry’s transition to life outside the institution of royalty, he continued, “He is sat in Montecito, twiddling his thumbs, thinking: ‘What do I do next? What is my role? Where is my work?'”<\/p>\n

Such a scenario could prove increasingly challenging for the Duke of Sussex, according to Burrell.<\/p>\n

“As Meghan rises in the Netflix firmament into whatever she will do, I think it won’t be enough for Meghan and it won’t be enough for Harry,” he stated.<\/p>\n

He went on to speculate<\/a> about Markle’s aspirations, saying, “She will just go off and her next step is a billionaire because she’s got millions so why not step up to a billionaire?<\/p>\n

In a more daring prediction, Burrell even hinted at a political future: “Why not become governor of California?”<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wedded on May 19, 2018. The pair has since retreated from royal obligations and moved to California.<\/p>\n
