DAD DRAMA

Princess Diana would have dealt with Thomas Markle ‘the same way Prince Harry has’, according to her former butler

IN a series of interviews over the last few months, Meghan Markle's father has made some damaging comments about the royal family - including claiming Prince Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, would have "loathed" the way he was being treated.

But now, Diana's close friend and former butler, Paul Burrell, has revealed he believes that the princess would have handled the situation in the exact same way.

In an interview with New! magazine this week, 60-year-old Paul quashed Thomas' claims.

He insisted Diana would have been "furious" at Thomas' betrayal.

He also added that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", and he thinks Harry is actually "taking a leaf out of his mother's book".

"I've been in similar situations where people said things about Princess Diana, and the way she dealt with it was by freezing them out," Paul explained.

"It looks as if Harry has taken a leaf out of his mother's book. Diana said, 'Once someone burns the bridge of trust towards you it's very hard to repair it'."

Although Paul thinks Princess Diana would have handled the situation identically, he said life is "not going to be easy" for The Duchess.

He also spoke out about the one difference he sees between Meghan and Princess Diana, and it's all to do with 33-year-old Harry.

37-year-old Meghan reportedly hasn't spoken to her father since before her wedding to Prince Harry in May.

Just days before the big day, 74-year-old Thomas was exposed for staging paparazzi photos and later pulled out of walking Meghan down the aisle after suffering health problems.

In a string of explosive interviews, Thomas Sr. claimed the royal family are "like Scientologists" due to their "cult-like behaviour".

"I tell you, I’ve just about reached my limit on Meghan and the Royal Family. I’m about to unload on them," he said.
