Prince Harry’s London Reunion and State Visit Secrets from Windsor Castle

In this episode of Paul Burrell’s Royal Tea, former royal butler Paul Burrell returns with even more candid reflections and exclusive royal insight, fresh from launching his new book, The Royal Insider: My Life with the Queen, the King and the Princess. Paul opens up about his profound personal connection to Queen Elizabeth II, revealing how her presence shaped his life and what her continued absence means to him. He discusses Prince Harry’s recent visit to London and heartfelt reunion with King Charles, sharing what Diana would have wished for her sons and his own advice for Harry on the challenging road to reconciliation. Delving into the Trump state visit, Paul pulls back the curtain on the royal family’s soft power, Kate Middleton’s role as joint president of the Scouts, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes from past presidential visits—including the unforgettable moment Ronald Reagan gifted him a White House belt buckle. Paul also addresses the changing tides of public support for the monarchy, reflecting on King Charles’s transitional role and why he believes William and Kate represent the future of the crown. Paul shares a surprisingly effective royal household hack for removing ink stains—one even Princess Diana swore by! Then it’s off to Kensington Palace for ‘Burrell’s Britain,’ where Paul reminisces about its storied royal residents, from Queen Victoria to Princess Diana and the Duchess of Kent. Finally, Paul answers listener questions about his children’s royal playmates, Princess Diana’s favourite perfume, and the deep, enduring impact Diana had on his life.
