Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, revealed that the royal family will never host Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at Sandringham.
“That will never happen. I’ve always said it, and I’ll say it again: it will never happen,” Burrell told Casino.org.

“And the reason is simple — you have to consider the dynamics of everyone living under one roof,” Paul Burrell continued.
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal fold, the Sussexes publicly complained about royal life and their interactions with Prince William and Kate Middleton. Their various tell-all projects caused further damage within the family.

“If you were to inject Harry and Meghan into that mix, into that very particular ‘soup’ of royalty, it would become a complete disaster,” Paul Burrell explained.

After struggling to fit in with Prince Harry’s loved ones, Meghan Markle would likely still be an outsider after all these years.
“The family gets along because they understand one another, and they understand the routines and traditions that shape those Christmases,” Paul Burrell noted. “Meghan clearly doesn’t, and she wouldn’t fit in. And beyond that, her presence would make everyone else uncomfortable as well.”

“Harry himself would have an awful time,” Paul Burrell continued. “There’s simply no place for them at Sandringham anymore — there never will be, not even when William becomes king. They simply cannot be trusted to keep what happens at Sandringham a secret.”
