In a bold stance, former palace aide Paul Burell has raised concerns over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s lavish lifestyle, urging them to “pay the price” through public service.
Burell openly questioned the couple’s reinvention and their contributions to society.
Reflecting on the dilemma the Duke and Duchess of Sussex face, Burell expressed his uncertainty about how they could redefine themselves in their new chapter.
He highlighted the challenge of finding a meaningful purpose after returning from royal duties.
What bothered Burell the most was the apparent lack of reciprocity from the royal couple.
He voiced his concern: “The biggest problem I have is the fact they’ve taken so much from so many and they’ve given nothing back.”
This sentiment contrasted sharply with Princess Diana’s ethos, who believed that a luxurious lifestyle demanded a commitment to public service.
Drawing a comparison to Princess Diana’s approach, Burell emphasized the importance of using one’s platform for the greater good.
Meghan and Harry possess a significant platform and influence, and Burell expressed hope that they would embrace public service to fulfill their roles as prominent figures.
