Prince Harry and Prince William "Hated" Princess Diana's One Tactic to Show How They Were "Equal"

Princess Diana, baby William and Harry.

When you're born to be the future King, it's only natural that people see you in a different light—but according to former royal butler Paul Burrell, giving Prince William "preferential" treatment over his brother Prince Harry was one thing that made Princess Diana "furious." While the late royal tried her best to make sure her sons were seen as equals, just like the Prince of Wales does with his kids today, it turns out one of her ideas wasn't exactly well-received by William and Harry.

Speaking on behalf of Genting Casino, Burrell—who worked alongside Diana and her sons for a decade up until her 1997 death—said that his former boss wasn't a fan of the way staff treated Prince Harry. "As the heir to the Windsor dynasty, William was always accepted with preferential treatment, much to Diana’s disappointment," he shared. "Diana did not approve of that and if she found staff doing that she was furious."
