Prince William Won’t Be Happy With Meghan Markle’s Lavish Baby Shower, Says Former Royal Butler

There is still a big buzz about Meghan Markle‘s extravagant baby shower this past week in New York City, but it seems like not everyone is happy about it, as a former royal butler believes Prince William is quite peeved about it.

Paul Burrell, Princess Diana‘s former butler, recently wrote a post on The Sun and shared what he believes are the Duke of Cambridge’s, 36, thoughts on all that went down. “I think Prince William will be angered by all of Meghan’s lavish extravagance this week and the fact her baby shower looked so ‘celebrity’ rather than ‘royal,'” the 60-year-old said. He continued, “He has spent years working with the press to give them what they want but also gets what he wants in return — privacy. Meghan is doing exactly what he doesn’t — courting attention all for her and her baby.”

Burrell also added that Kate Middleton, who didn’t go to the baby bash, probably wasn’t a fan of the celebration either. “I think William, as well as Kate Middleton, will be totally bewildered by why Meghan is doing all this, as there’s no excuse for over-indulgence or excess and that’s what it seems to me,” claimed Burrell. “Although William mixes with A-list celebrities, he doesn’t take them home with him, they aren’t his friends. They are people he works with. The celebrity world in which Meghan was submerged seems to be where all her friends are, and that can only spell disaster.”

The former actress’ previous Hollywood life, according to Burrell, and her new royal life may be “getting blurred.” “There is a clear line between the two, and Meghan doesn’t know the difference,” Burrell explained. “The baby shower was obviously arranged to be in the spotlight. Why would you invite a CBS anchor to your event if it was private?”

It was previously reported that the Suits alum’s baby shower cost $200,000 for two days — which makes sense since it took place at The Mark Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in the country.
