Over the course of seven years, Grant Harrold served as King Charles III‘s butler and also worked for Prince William and Kate Middleton before they were married and had children. He got to know the family in a way most people never will.
Harrold recently reflected on his time looking after them and revealed just how different the new Prince and Princess of Wales are from Charles and Princess Diana.
Harrold worked in the royal household from 2004 through 2011, which was in the early days of Prince William and Kate’s relationship. He shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that back then they were a love-struck pair who were “like any boyfriend and girlfriend” would be.
While the former royal butler said their relationship was really “no different” than most people, he did acknowledge that he sees a big difference now in their marriage than Charles and Diana’s. He explained that they are actually quite different when compared to their predecessors because they are “100% a team” and “don’t ever put a foot wrong.”
Speaking on behalf of OnlineCasino.ca, Harrold said: “William and Kate have been married about as long as Charles and Diana were, look at how those two are still a complete 100% team, so it’s very different.
“I think they don’t put a foot wrong, they never put a foot wrong, just like the queen. I see almost a very mirrored effect between William and Kate and the queen and Prince Philip but 80 years apart.
Two very similar couples, very similar love, very similar dedication to duty but two very different types of royals, one very traditional and one very modern, and that’s part of this transition.”
