Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's Butler

I am way behind here. I didn't even realize the inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed were over! I can't say I'm surprised by the outcome, I think it is the right one.

I have to say that I am not shocked by Paul Burrell's behavior at the inquest and afterward. I bought his book, "A Royal Duty," when it first came out. I did enjoy parts of it, but his attempts to malign the Royal Family really turned me off. Personally, I don't see how his wife put up with him. I think he was in love with Diana. I could be totally off base here though.

Here is an article that I found most interesting. I am just taking snippet from it and commenting on them. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../ndiana401.xml

Diana coroner attacks 'liar' Paul Burrell

The coroner at the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales has launched a devastating attack on Paul Burrell, suggesting he had lied in the witness box to protect his lucrative career as a reality TV star.


As he began the second day of his summing up at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, the coroner referred to a tape recording, published in a national newspaper last month, in which Mr Burrell admitted to a friend he had included "red herrings" in his evidence to the inquest.

Mr Burrell, 49, refused to return to the inquest to explain the comments he made on the tape and could now face a perjury investigation.

Mr Burrell was also upbraided by the coroner for secretly copying Princess Diana's private correspondence before publishing it in his books.

He said: "All in all, you may think that Mr Burrell's behaviour has been pretty shabby. But beyond the extent to which it reflects his honesty, on whether other matters are true you may think this - it has no impact on the means by which those came their death."

I have to agree with the coroner here. His behavior is shabby. Plus, I think it was downright disgraceful for him to copy Princess Diana's private letters and then publishing it in his books!

Paul Burrell is all about Paul Burrell and he doesn't deserve to make any more money off of Princess Diana! Hopefully, he will face perjury charges for all of the lies he told.

O/T....Real life has been busy lately. Hopefully, things will calm down and I will be able to post more on the blog. I am going to do a longer entry about the Midyette case either tonight or tomorrow, so please look for it!
