‘That’s an heir and a spare... I’m off on date with Camilla!’

DI BUTLER’S CHAS CLAIM

- By PETER DYKE peter.dyke@dailystar.co.uk

FORMER royal butler Paul Burrell says Prince Charles told Diana “my work is done” when Prince Harry was born.

He claims the Prince told his wife he had done his duty to produce “an heir and a spare”.

Charles reportedly then went out with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Secret

Burrell reckons he has kept the shocking secret – which could dent the Prince of Wales’ popularity– for more than 30 years.

But he spilled the beans while filming the Australian edition of I’m A Celebrity in South Africa.

The former royal worker said: “Let me tell you a secret. She told me on the night that Harry was born, Charles came to visit. He wasn’t at the birth.

“She said, ‘Are you pleased?’ He said, ‘I’m delighted. I now have an heir and a spare.’

“She said, ‘Well, it’s an odd thing to say. Why are you dressed up?’

“He said, ‘My work is done now. I’m off to the theatre with Camilla.’

“Diana said, ‘I cried myself to sleep – knowing my marriage was over’.”

Burrell also reckons Diana predicted her own death in a car crash. He claimed the Princess said Charles wanted to “kill her”.

A spokesman for Prince Charles was unavailabl­e for comment. A BLUE Raleigh bike owned by Diana before her marriage fetched £9,200 at auction in Thame, Oxon.
