Harry and Meghan 'stabbing' family 'in the back' by drawing on their royal connection says former butler - 9Honey

Outspoken former royal butler Paul Burrell says the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "stabbing Harry's family in the back" by drawing on their royal connection to make money.

But they have to do so because "being royal is the only thing that makes them interesting".

His comments come after Prince Harry and Meghan expanded their business empire again, announcing they are putting their "values into action" by partnering with Ethic - a firm that helps create portfolios focused on sustainable investments.

The couple say they joined Ethic as investors and "impact partners".

It's the latest move in the Sussex's mission to become "financially independent" from the royal family, having stepped back from official duties in March 2020.

Earlier this year Harry became the chief impact officer of BetterUp, a US-based coaching and mental health firm.

They've also inked big content deals with Netflix, Spotify and Apple since the beginning of 2020.

Harry and Meghan's recent trip to New York City sparked rumours they were filming content for Netflix after what appeared to be a microphone cord was seen poking out of the Duke's clothing. It was even suggested Meghan wore large coats despite the unseasonably warm weather to conceal a microphone pack.

Some went further by likening the three-day visit to a royal tour.

One of their next ventures is Prince Harry's planned memoirs, due for release in September next year.

And Burrell expects it to be "even more shocking" than what Harry has previously revealed about his experiences with his family and the monarchy.

"Part of the royal fascination and popularity is that no one knows what really goes on behind closed doors," Burrell told Closer.

"And so when Harry and Meghan share a glimpse into that life, it's shocking and scandalous and people love to hear it. It's juicy gossip and it's what makes them interesting."

Burrell spent 21 years working for the British royal family and had become a close confidant of Diana, Princess of Wales.

"They have escaped the royals and found their freedom, but in reality, they'll always be chained down by the fact that being royal is the only thing that makes them interesting," he said.

"And in playing on these connections, they are stabbing Harry's family in the back and deepening the rift. I imagine Harry's book will be even more shocking than what he's said so far, as the publishers will need that.

"That's the issue Harry and Meghan face with trying to blur the lines between being royal and being celebrities. It just doesn't work."

In June, Meghan released her first children's book The Bench - with some criticising her for using her title, Duchess of Sussex, on the cover even though she had stepped back from official duties.
