William and Harry held 'low-key' secret talks with Diana's butler on unanswered questions


It has been claimed that both William and Harry met with Paul in 2017 – just one week before Harry announced his engagement to Meghan Markle.

A source told The Sun that the brothers wanted to meet with Paul to find out more about their mother and he answered all their questions.

After Diana’s death in 1997, Wiliam and Harry fell out with Paul over a book that he had written about their mother.

The two royals felt like he was trying to make money by milking his position within the Firm, and in their mother’s life.

It is thought that, because of this, William and Harry has not spoken to Paul since Diana’s funeral.

The source claimed: “It was a low-key meeting but the brothers wanted to speak to someone who had been close to their mother.

“There were some aspects of her life they felt Paul could provide better clarity on. They asked to keep it all under wraps and he respected that. Paul was happy to tell them everything he knew and shed some light on their memories.”

In his tell-all memoir, Harry claimed that Paul was “milking” their mother’s death with his published book.

Harry wrote: “Mummy’s former butler had penned a tell-all which actually told nothing.

“It was merely one man’s self-justifying, self-centring version of events.”

Harry – who found out about the book aged 19 in 2003 – added: “My mother once called this butler a dear friend, and trusted him implicitly. We did too. Now this. He was milking her disappearance for money. It made my blood boil.”

In regards to reading the claims, Paul has since said: “I’ve been dismissed and I’m very sad about that.”

He added: “He (Harry) has discarded me, but he hasn’t thought about all of those years that I spent with his mother, in private, loving her, caring for her, watching out for her.”
