The Burrell the Butler Saga Continues

Posted March 17th, 2008 by Administrator

Well having had his time in court, and then being reported in The Sun newspaper for having a different version of events, Paul Burrell, former butler of Princess Diana, is now requested by the inquest into Diana’s death to return to the stand – and he’s refusing.  Currently outside the long arm of the justice department he can continue to refuse but one has to wonder why.  Paul Burrell was someone I thought had integrity, a person who would do all that he could to protect Diana’s name and make sure that this inquest did right by her.  I’m no longer sure about that.  Now that he's got his new uk home with the proceeds, it really looks as though the celebrity status to which his former employment raised him has made him turn his back on the person whose death created his celebrity – the late Princess of Wales. 

I’m not sure why he wasn’t able to just stand up at the inquest and recount events as they really happened.  If there was some foul play which resulted in the premature death (intended or otherwise) of Diana, it’s only going to be flushed out if people who know anything come forward and speak the truth.  Diana’s memory deserves better than Paul Burrell’s mismatched statements – at the moment his actions play more against the person he’s supposed to have cared so deeply about.  This saddens me.  I don’t expect the blue bloods to break rank, but I did expect that those who really cared for Diana and who aren’t shackled by generations of heritage and titles to speak the truth.  Perhaps I expected too much.
