Princess Diana Wanted William, Harry To Have 2 Homes In UK, US

Princess Diana wanted to give her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry the best life imaginable when she was still alive.

In fact, she was planning on purchasing a home in Malibu, California so that her boys could experience an entirely different culture. However, the Princess of Wales already passed away even before she signed the lease on the property that she was eyeing.

While speaking on the “Loose Women” panel, Princess Diana’s former royal butler Paul Burrell revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aren’t the first two royals who wanted to spend time in the United States. Burrell said that Prince Charles’ ex-wife also wanted the same thing.

Princess Diana’s plan was to bring her sons to the United States and let them stay there for three to four weeks, so that they could have a different insight into life overseas.

“So, it’s not new and all of this revelation stuff with the royal family, that’s not new,” Burrell said.

However, the former royal butler still thinks that Prince Harry and Markle’s decision to spend time in the U.S. for the holidays has upset and saddened Queen Elizabeth II. Burrell said that Her Majesty enjoys her time with her family so much especially during the holidays.

More specifically, the monarch loves decorating her Christmas tree in Sandringham with the help of her great-grandchildren. But at the end of the day, the Queen would still try to understand why Markle and Prince Harry need to celebrate the occasion with the Duchess of Sussex’s mom.

Markle is an American citizen, so her son, Archie, has dual citizenship. And the “Suits” alum also wants her son to experience different cultures.

“She’ll understand Harry and his new wife want a different lifestyle. Meghan is American so she’s going to bring up her children half in America and a half here,” Burrell said.

Meanwhile, the expert also talked about Prince Andrew’s controversial interview and said that he feels sorry for the Queen because she had to see it.
