The former butler of Britain's Princess Diana believes he should play a key role in Princes Harry and William's memorial concert for their late mother.
Britain's Prince Harry sits with young villagers of Phororong in the Northern Mountains, while on a return visit to Lesotho in Southern Africa, Thursday 27 April 2006. The Prince was in the country to launch his new charity called 'Sentebale', which means 'forget me not' in memory of his mother Diana Princess of Wales.

Paul Burrell saw himself as one of Diana's closest confidants and is reportedly expecting to be consulted on plans for next year's commemorative event marking the 10th anniversary of the princess' untimely death in 1997.
A source told the Daily Express said: "Paul obviously feels that it would be appropriate for him to be involved in the events marking the anniversary but, considering the breakdown in his relationship with the princes, it currently seems pretty unlikely.
"Paul is going to be very upset if he's snubbed and is likely to cause quite a fuss publicly."
Earlier this year, the former servant upset Diana's sons when he accused them of no longer flying the flag for their mother.
Critics have also slammed him for cashing in on the princess' name after he released his second book about his life with Diana, 'The Way We Were', this September.
His first tome, 'A Royal Duty', published in October 2003, was a huge bestseller selling 274,000 copies, but his follow-up failed to match this success, shifting only 6,000 in its debut week.
