Fans have been counting down the days until the premiere of Meghan Markle’s brand-new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. It was originally postponed due to unrelated events, but now that the premiere is near, former royal butler Paul Burrell is sharing his thoughts. 

Burrell recently shared his honest opinion about With Love, Meghan and expressed concern over how it’ll be received. “It’s the Meghan Show. And this is a tough area to compete in, in America, because America is filled with the best hosts you can possibly have,” he said on behalf of Prime Casino. “Whether she’s good enough or not, the public will judge her.”

The former royal butler continued, “We’re waiting to see what she’s got and whether she can pull it out of the bag. People may warm to her. 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.”

Regardless of his hesitation, Burrell predicted that With Love, Meghan will tease what’s to come for the Duchess of Sussex, adding, “I’m eager to watch it and to see what she’s going to produce. Meghan will have to reveal her hand in this game of poker because Harry's already revealed his. We haven't yet seen Meghan.”

Be sure to mark your calendars for the With Love, Meghan premiere on March 4.
