'Prince Harry would have never married Meghan Markle': Here's why

Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell previously made controversial remarks that Prince Harry would never have married Meghan Markle had his mother was alive to guide his future.

Paul had said, "If Diana were alive, Harry would never have married Meghan. He wouldn't have been searching for love, he would have been happy to settle down, conform, and use those lessons he learnt in life from his mother – that he was to be William's wingman and stand by his side."

The former aide’s comments have resurfaced, reigniting debate over how different Harry's life might have been had Diana survived the Paris car crash in 1997.

The insiders told the Radar Online that Burrell's comments reflected a long-held belief among some royal observers that Diana would have remained a powerful influence over both her sons well into adulthood.

"The argument is not really about Meghan herself. It is about whether Diana's presence would have changed the decisions Harry made after losing his mother at such a young age," the source said.

Another close insider said Paul’s remarks have attracted renewed attention because of continuing rumors that Meghan and Harry’s relationship is on the rocks.

They added: "Whenever there is speculation about the Sussexes, people revisit the question of what Diana would have thought about the choices Harry ultimately made."
