Royals have been ‘burnt’ by Harry & Meghan and fear they will use what they hear to their advantage says Paul Burrell

THE royal family will be ‘careful’ about what they say in front of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, former royal butler Paul Burrell has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have travelled from their home in California for the momentous occasion, collected from the airport by Her Majesty’s personal cars, The Celeb Report revealed.

However, despite the warm welcome the former royal footman claims that the couple’s arrival will bring a ‘cool atmosphere’.

Speaking on Lorraine today, he told Ranvir Singh: “There will be a very cool atmosphere behind closed doors because of what’s been said in the past.

“Some members of the royal family have been burned by what Harry and Meghan have said, especially on Oprah, and they don’t like it.”

Burrell went on to say that following Harry and Meghan’s explosive claims on the show, many families will be wary about what is said in front of the couple.

He continued: “They will be very careful about what is said now in front of them (Meghan and Harry) because they could take that back to America and make it part of their commercial platform.

“They could use that information.”

Despite the uneasy atmosphere, Burrell says that the monarch will be keen to smooth things over between the families.

“The Queen wants a smooth passage, she doesn’t like fuss and bother. She likes to take a back seat,” he says.

“She doesn’t like rough waters, she doesn’t like family conflict so she wants to smooth it over.”

Harry and Meghan landed in England at noon after a non-stop flight from Santa Barbara, California.

They have been given prime seats to watch the Trooping the Colour. Police would not confirm if Archie and Lilibet will join them.

Palace officials confirmed Harry and Meghan will line up with the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Cornwall.

The party will be joined by Beatrice and Eugenie and Zara Tindall at the Major General’s Office overlooking Horseguards Parade.
