“She’s [Diana] here with me today in this beautiful sunshine on the Long Walk," Burrell told ITV. “I’m wearing the links that she gave me – very special links. I’m wearing a tie that she gave me to go to Egypt, and of course a white rose, which is symbolic of Diana.”

Burrell was Diana's butler from 1987 until her death in 1997. He was blacklisted by the royal family following appearances on reality shows and for keeping some of Diana's possessions.

Royal wedding guests inside the chapel included David Beckham, Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and Elton John. The prince and Markle tied the knot Saturday in a highly anticipated wedding seen by many around the globe.
