Why Paul Burrell believes Prince Charles will never be King

He’s worked in the royal household for over a decade and following his exit from the jungle in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! the royal butler Paul Burrell has sensationally claimed Prince Charles will never be King.

In an exclusive interview with Now To Love, Paul says he believes the monarchy is set for a major change when the Queen passes away.

Why Charles will never be King

"It's a very controversial prediction but we will never see King Charles and Queen Camilla sat on the throne of England. Watch that space," the 59-year-old told the publication from the South African jungle.

"Why? Because when The Queen dies and she'll be a hundred and something, she will never abdicate. When she dies, I think Charles will do the right thing and say, 'I'm far too old for this responsibility.',” Paul claims.

"And wouldn't the world and the Commonwealth much prefer a younger King and Queen – the beautiful Catherine and William? I think that is the way forward for the Royal Family."

Prince Harry - The People’s Prince

"Harry is becoming the People's Prince. He can do things which his brother can never do, because his brother is destined to be King with his wife Catherine beside him," Paul says.

"You shouldn't be surprised that in Harry's mind, everything revolves around his mother. His mother, who the Royal Family tried to erase. Those boys were taken back into the Royal Family and his mother's name was not allowed to be mentioned," he says.

Paul says he’s not surprised by the announcement that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will invite up to 2640 people, including members of the public from their charities, to their May wedding at Windsor Castle.

"Now they're gown up, they intend to honour their mother in different ways. I'm not surprised Meghan and Harry are inviting people from their charities to the wedding," the father-of-two notes.

"Harry, above William really, will finish his mother's work. So watch that space and watch those two, they'll be coming to Australia very soon [for the Invictus Games]."

Harry and Meghan’s family plans

"I believe that they will start a family as soon as possible! Harry also wants a large family and wants children as quickly as possible,” Paul predicts.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to have mixed-race babies within the Royal Family? It's the way forward to bring this Royal Family into this century."

Prince William and Duchess Catherine’s third baby name predictions

Prince William and Duchess Catherine’s third baby will be a boy, Paul claims, adding they won't stop at three.

"Albert, because William's grandfather was Albert. Although he took the name George for the throne and always called Bertie in the Royal Family," Paul reveals of The Queen's late father, King George VI.

"I can see William and Kate with a little Berties. Or Arthur! Arthur or Albert – watch this space," Paul says.

Paul also believes the Duke and Duchess won’t stop at three.

"There will be one more! There'll be four, they want four and there'll be four babies for William and Kate. Just like The Queen, there was a gap between her [two kids] but William and Kate are running out of time, so they better get on with it!” he says, with a laugh.

Princess Diana would have loved Meghan Markle

According to Paul, Diana would have "embraced Meghan wholeheartedly."

"Meghan is everything that she would have chosen for Harry. 36 years old, a mature woman, knows her mind, knows the way forward. She's not a silly girl. She's a professional woman who will shape Harry," Paul says.
