Former Royal butler Paul Burrell is convinced Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will never get divorced. The 66-year-old ex-butler to Princess Diana thinks the couple share "a common goal to make themselves as rich as possible".
He believes they have struck a "balance" which works for their marriage and brand. The couple - who tied the knot at St. George's Chapel, on the grounds of Windsor Castle in 2018 - previously received 95 per cent of their income from Prince Harry's father King Charles.
Meghan also launched a lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard - now called As Ever - to sell items, such as jam, tea, "cookie mixes", and flower sprinkles - and Burrell is convinced the pair's money-making opportunities would slip through their hands if they ever split.
Paul told the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential column: "Despite pressures on their marriage and lifestyle, I personally think there are no signs of divorce because Harry would lose too much."
He added: "Meghan and Harry have a common goal to make themselves as rich as possible in as short a time as possible. I think that balance works together for the sake of their brand, their marriage."
The collection, which also features shortbread and crepe mixes at $14 (£10.79) each and herbal tea blends for $12 (£9.25), that sold out within 30 minutes when it launched in the US.
Meghan described the launch as a “pivotal moment” in her As Ever newsletter, highlighting the jam packaging, which can be repurposed.
She said: "Of course, you’ll find the raspberry spread that started it all presented in keepsake packaging that you can repurpose to tuck away love notes or special treasures and to remember this pivotal moment with me. Think of it as our time capsule.
"I hope when you see what I’ve worked so hard to create, you’re encouraged to know that whatever life brings, you can do it too."
Paul worked as Princess Diana's butler from 1987 until her death in 1997 and spent a lot of time with Harry and Prince William when they were children.
"Whether she's good enough or not, the public will judge her. We're waiting to see what she's got and whether she can pull it out of the bag."
"People may warm to her," he continued. "However, the royals are on a safe ship in calm waters, whereas Harry and Meghan have been in choppy seas for quite some time and you can't actually continue that. You can't. Something has to give."
Speaking of her Netflix lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, Paul continued: "I'm eager to watch it and to see what she's going to produce. I'm not so sure I want to buy her jam, but I think it's going to be interesting to watch. Meghan will have to reveal her hand in this game of poker because Harry's already revealed his. We haven't yet seen Meghan's."
