She (Princess Diana) told me how he had sat with her one night when she was upset over the loss of HRH, put his arms around her and said: Don't worry, Mummy. I am convinced that when the princes, and everyone else, reads this book in its entirety they will think differently.
This book, published in 2006, is most interesting to me, perhaps, because of Burrell's memories of William and Harry as boys, and his admiration of them as young men. In his twenty-one years of royal duty, Paul Burrell first served Her Majesty the Queen as personal footman from 1976 to 1987 when he moved to Highgrove to become butler to the Prince and Princess of Wales. In 2002, Burrell faced trial for allegedly stealing personal items from Diana’s estate following her death. Especially annoying was him saying for 245 times that Princess and Dodi's relationship was not serious and he wasn't "the one".
He also appeared as a judge and trainer on Australian Princess in 2005, and in March 2006 appeared on Countdown in Dictionary Corner. Mr Bolland says he believes Mr Burrell would not have gone public with his revelations, contained in his book A Royal Duty, to be published on Monday, if he had not felt "hounded" by the royal family. From private and intimate family occasions at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the Royal Yacht Britannia to grand and lavish State Banquets for presidents, kings and queens. He insisted that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle knew about the newly-released biography Finding Freedom, but pretended they did not.
What I see now is an angry, petulant, privileged prince who is constantly blaming other people and not taking accountability on his part. In actuality, his travels included far more than Great Britain and Europe, as his years of service gave him first-hand experience of the most interesting houses in virtually every corner of the world. I’ve always defended [Harry] down to the last minute and now I’m thinking, ‘Harry, you’ve lost the plot,’” he said. He was also questioned on a letter to him from Diana in October 1996, in which she said her husband was planning to have her killed to make the path clear for him to marry Camilla Parker Bowles.
Even though it’s been 25 years since Princess Diana’s tragic passing in a Paris car crash, there still remains a lot of difficult questions as well as complicated conspiracies surrounding the same. The High Peak College Buxton hotel management graduate actually became the Queen’s personal footman around a year later, which admittedly went far beyond anything he’d ever expected. On 18 February 2008, The Sun newspaper reported that Burrell had admitted, on tape, that he had not told "the whole truth" during his appearance at the Diana inquest; he also said he had thrown in a "few red herrings". It was interesting to read his first-hand descriptions of her character and challenges in the royal household, particularly her relationships with men and the Duchess of York.
