About this listen

 In A Royal Duty, Paul Burrell reveals the truth about Princess Diana, as well as a faithful account of her thoughts. He was the favourite footman who formed a unique relationship with the Queen. He was the butler who the Princess of Wales called "my rock" and "the only man I can trust". He was accused of theft, then acquitted following the historic intervention of the monarch. He was the Princess' most intimate confidant - and may be the only person able to separate the myth from the truth of the Diana years.©2003, 2004 Paul Burrell (P)2007 W F Howes Ltd.

What did you like most about A Royal Duty?

I liked the apparent honesty of Burrell's description of circumstances and events.

What did you like best about this story?

It's a compelling story, about one of the most interesting figures of the 20th century.

Any additional comments?

No one seems to come out of this unscathed, but it seems clear where Burrell's sympathies lie. I think what struck me most was his enduring loyalty to HM The Queen and the clear insight into her as a sane and highly intelligent woman.
