Paul Burrell's call for Harry and Meghan's royal titles to be stripped away

Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell has publicly spoked out ahead of the upcoming Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Netlix docu-series. The former royal aide has suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should have their royal titles taken off them. He was speaking to Piers Morgan in an interview on Monday, December 5.

A second trailer for the project was released on Monday, confirming the date that the series will first air and featuring Prince Harry, 38, saying: "It's really hard to look back on it now and go, what on earth happened?" In the clip he goes on to talk about the hierarchy of the royal family, adding: "There's a hierarchy of the family. You know, there's leaking but there's also planting of stories. It's a dirty game." Also in the second trailer, Meghan, 41, is again shown wiping away tears saying: "I realised they're never going to protect you"

During TalkTV show's, Piers Morgan Uncensored, Paul Burrell, 64, said the series "all smacks of self-obsessed narcissism". The Mirror reported that he went on to discuss Prince Harry relocating to the US.
