Princess Diana Would Have Preferred Prince Harry's Exes Over Meghan Markle?
Paul Burrell, who served as Princess Diana's butler until her death, spoke about Prince Harry's choice of wife. For him, with the way he knew his mom, Burrell believed that Princess Diana would have preferred Chelsy Davy or Cressida Bonas for her son.
"Had [Princess Diana] had her way and if she was still here, Harry wouldn't be doing what he's doing now. He probably would've married Cressida Bonas or Chelsea Davy, or a young aristocratic lady from England," Burrell said on behalf of Slingo, Showbiz CheatSheet reported.
Burrell was convinced that Prince Harry was looking for someone similar to his late mother.
Prince Harry "wasn't looking for a fling. I think he was looking for someone serious to put him back on the path he'd lost because his mother died. His heart broke and nobody could fix it until Meghan came along. Meghan fixed it," Burrell previously told OK Magazine. "I think Harry is totally besotted with her. He's given everything up."
