Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, has leveled some strong accusations against Meghan Markle, claiming that the Duchess of Sussex befriends people only to discard them when they've served their purpose. Burrell, who worked for Princess Diana for a decade and later for the Queen, shared his views in an interview with GBNews' Dan Wootton, following reports of Meghan and Prince Harry's falling out with David and Victoria Beckham.
Burrell minced no words
Burrell minced no words, labeling Meghan as a "predator" who uses people and drops them when she's done with them. He remarked, "She sucks them dry, and then, they'll be gone." The accusations came in light of rumors that the Beckhams were accused of leaking stories about the Sussexes to the press, leading to a tense phone call between the two couples.
The fallout between the Sussexes and the Beckhams appears to have strained their once-strong friendship. The Beckhams, who were allegedly "absolutely bloody furious" about the accusations, chose not to invite Meghan and Harry to their son Brooklyn's wedding to Nicola Peltz in April 2022. According to insiders, any chance of reconciliation seems unlikely.

He also pointed out that other high-profile figures, like the Obamas and Clooneys, who attended Meghan and Harry's wedding, are now seemingly distant from the couple. Burrell believes this shows that people are starting to see the true nature of Meghan and Harry's relationship.
