Publisher Description

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.

"Loved this insiders view into the life of Princess Diana. Some fault him for spilling the beans, but I feel he needed to get his story out. Loved this book! As would any royal-wanna be. Darned if I am not too old for Prince Harry. Buggar!"

    " A hagiographic account of Diana, Princess of Wales. Burrell offers some interserting insights into what it was like working at Buckingham Palace, Highgrove and Kensington Palace. He obviously adored Diana. "

    " Gives an interesting insider's perspective on what it's like to serve the British royal family. Nothing really new about Diana that we didn't already know. The Spencers come across as selfish and ignorant and the Windsors are oblivious to the daily lives of those who serve them. It is a thankless job. But Burrell clearly loved serving at Buckingham Palace and that is the best part of the book. "
