Princess Di's ex-butler has a go at William and Harry for not defending their mother's memory ....

Who deos he think he is ?!

I feel/felt totally ambivalent towards Diana and am by no means a Royalist (far from it) but Paul Burrell beggars belief. This is the man who has shamelessly profited off the back of knowing Princess Di. What a tw*t.

the man is a LOSER

expatinscotland · 11/09/2006 11:02

What a freak!

I mean, isn't that sort of their business? Does he have a hidden camera in their bedrooms? How does he know what they do to honour her?

They can't look in the mirror w/o seeing their own mother or her family - William looks like her and Harry looks every inch a Spencer.

He's an idiot, I should think!

Regardless of who she is, how can anyone try and tell the person's children how and when they should grieve. They lost their mum for goodness sake - he was just the butler!

Haven't read the article(cause life is too short) but doesn't he just say the occasional imflamitory thing just to keep his public profile alive?

NomDePlume · 11/09/2006 11:03

He makes my skin crawl

He has a new book coming out, Carmenere.

He makes me feel sick tbh.

I too am ambivalent towards the whole royal family, but I think he is a total knob. He makes me want to puke when he goes all misty eyed talking about "The Princess"

I wonder how much wonga his second book will make him.

NomDePlume · 11/09/2006 11:05

dunno, but it's dirty money, that's for sure

Like you I'm not a royalist, but I do feel sorry for her sons. Every week it seems someone is stirring up a new conspiracy theory about their mother's death. That one about their father/grandparents/whoever getting her killed deliberately must be terribly hard to hear whether it be true or not. Also nasty rumours flying around about her and about her family.

Also someone who once worked for your mother (and was he sacked??) every week trying to make himself famous by sharing her secrets and telling stories about her must be horrible. And they have told people to shut up about it and to leave her to rest in piece.

Personally I think PAul Burrell should be shot. And everyone should leave this alone to let William and Harry remember her as they want to and not have to put up with all the crap said about her and her death.

Another attempt to grab the headlines and make yet more money from Diana rumours.

intergalacticwalrus · 11/09/2006 11:09

Why the F**k can't they let the woman rest in peace?

Tommy · 11/09/2006 11:14

saw this headline on a couple of the tabs when I opicked up my paper this morning - couldn't believe it. How dare he say that to those boys? How the hell does he know what they think or do or say about her? Just because they don't parade it all in public to make money like him. He is a complete arse and this has lowered him even further down in my estimation

anniediv · 11/09/2006 11:16

He's about to be on This Morning...defending himself?

NomDePlume · 11/09/2006 11:19

Just getting his cringeworthy mug on the box again, prob.

Nice one Philip
Not particularly fond of the Royal Family but think it is pretty crass for a paid member of staff to criticise Diana's children. What a creepy guy.

EmmyLou · 11/09/2006 12:08

Not a royalist by any means and don't read this sort of stuff unless in the dentist's waiting room, but why do people feel they need to talk to the press about such tosh? Who cares what he thinks anyway.

He did make me laugh till it hurt on Jungle Celeb prog though, dh came running in from kitchen to see what was up. Odd character.

Enid · 11/09/2006 12:15

the sooner the royals are all downgraded to civvy street the better

expatinscotland · 11/09/2006 12:18

I couldn't agree more, Enid.

Enid · 11/09/2006 12:19

they are a (expensive) joke

Tutter · 11/09/2006 12:19

expat - an american who doesn't looooove our royal family?

expatinscotland · 11/09/2006 12:20

As an American I abhor the idea of royalty, nobles, aristocrats, etc.

YUK!

People died to get rid of all that schlock.

Is that the story about her being a hermaphro?
