About this deal

But still, I wouldn't like a trusted member of my household staff (if I HAD a household staff) sharing even the most mundane conversations that occurred in private moments. It's the story of how a boy from a coal-mining village came to swap terraced streets for gilded palaces. He talks about "someone special" in Diana's life and then says he won't disclose that person's name. His wife should be proclaimed a saint for not leaving him even after the princess almost rejected her entirely and didn't speak to her for a year (while her husband did nothing to mend the situation).

She'll say at a Highgrove dinner, 'This isn't going to be one of those bloody musical evenings, is it? I think Mr Burrelk also raised some very interesting points about Diana's involvement with the Andrew Morton book and the panorama interview, that I'd not previously considered - she did them at very low points in her life, when she and it were in great turmoil.Mr Burrell hasn't diffused all the mystery surrounding the princess' legacy either, because he dropped many hints of secrets he is keeping for her. Definitely would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Princess Diana or enjoys reading about the British royalty. What I read here is a really facinating look behind closed doors of the British Royal family - especially behind Diana, Princess of Wales' door! So there we have Princess Diana at Kensington Palace, Di doing the land mine thing, the HIV thing and other humanitarian work. Paul kind of likes Prince Philip because PP liked Diana and Paul is utterly and completely obsessed with Diana, or at least she's his meal ticket for life and that's a good kind of obsession.

This was purchased for my wife as an extra Birthday gift, she loved it more than her main present or any present i have got her in a number of year. I decided reluctantly to tell what I know to be the truth because I firmly believe that someone has to stand in the Princess' corner and fight for her now that she cannot do so. It's a story of shocking secrets, absolute power and unlikely alliances, told through firsthand insights and astounding material, including previously unseen letters and photographs. If you like to read about the Royals, this book is written in a simplistic, tell all style which for me was a pleasure to read.L'autore ha preso servizio a Buckingham Palace come valletto a diciot'anni,nominato valletto personale della regina stando al suo fianco per più di 10 anni. His account of the last two events are tinged with bias and are obviously one sided, but the fact of the matter is that his trial collapsed and he was therefore innocent of the charges. it is apparent that mr burell intended to sell HIS biography making use of his publicity regarding his relationship with diana. It was infact the opposite, Paul obviously had the upmost respect for the royal family and revealed a more of the warmth and kindness the royal family unforchantly keep hidden from the public. Now, at last, Paul Burrell cuts through the gossip and the lies and takes us closer to the complex heart of the Royal Family than ever before.

Although he's respectful of Charles, it's pretty hard to hide the fact that the guy is kind of a tool, and always has been, and you can see how Burrell became very fond of the less uptight, more fun, Princess. Burrell does a great job tieing everything together as he explains the historical events around him. Burrell's exalted sense of duty, as keeper of the Diana flame, might even provide the excuse for the release of more prince-relatedtittle-tattle from his decades of invisibility. I am sure that Paul Burrell has written an honest account of his life with the Princess and I also feel that Diana herself would have approved of the book and the way in which it is written.At the same time, the publication of Rebecca Tyrrel's new portrait of Camilla depicts her as a woman who, for all her superficial deficiencies, is stolid enough to make a very serviceable royal wife. In one of Burrell's many borrowings from other people's correspondence, Prince Philip tells Diana that no one in their right mind would leave her for Camilla.

Prince Philip - tough but fair - receives his first good press in half a century as counsellor to Diana, while the union between these paragons is presented, in contrast to many recent accounts, as a model to us all: "I never once heard a raised voice between husband and wife .Or as his wife, the mother of their two young boys, told him: "She had you by the balls in her lifetime, and she's still got you by the balls now. although, i have to admit that when i heard the other day that he is planning to release another book on diana soon, his credibility starts to slip. I was going to say he doesn't have the common touch, but I'd be wrong, he has Camilla, and you can't get more common than that. Progressive ideas did not stop Diana expecting Burrell to lean over and fasten her seatbelt - a detail which may be rather more telling than her prophecy of an assassination attempt.
