Shocking Claims Princess Diana’s Butler Revealed About Her Life

Eight uncovered facts that you missed.

Princess Diana was a wife, a mother and a royal, but she couldn’t find many people to trust in her life.

Her cheating husband, an oppressive monarchy and a maligning press were some of the things she had to face daily.

The Princess turned to her staff for some comfort, and reportedly she would speak her heart out with some of the staff members.

Paul Burrell, Diana’s former Butler, claimed he was the closest to the Princess when he was working for her.

Although Paul kept Diana’s secrets while she was alive, Paul spilt all the beans — less than a decade after her death.

Over the years, Paul Burrell has made many controversial claims about Princess Diana, from how she felt about Prince Charles to her love for other men and much more. Let’s dig into some details below:

The incident on Harry’s Birth

Paul Burrell accused Prince Charles of a particularly cold moment following Harry’s birth.

Paul Burrell claims that Diana allegedly told him something about the night Harry was born. Charles wasn’t there at the time of the birth.

He came later while Harry was lying in his cot, thanking Diana of providing him with an heir and a spare. Seems fair right? But according to Paul’s claim, Diana knew at that point the marriage was over.

Diana’s Prescriptions

Paul Burrell, allegedly closest to the Princess, revealed that Diana had problems with her sleep and that she was prescribed sleeping pills for this matter.

However, the prescriptions were not written in Diana’s name. Whether it be her sleeping pills or birth control pills, all were issued under different staff members’ names.

Diana’s Love For Other Men

Diana has always been controversial about her love for other men. Before she started dating Dodi Fayed, Diana dated a heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, for a couple of years before their break up.

Paul claims that Diana never wanted to break up with Hasnat, but Diana considered Hasnat her soulmate and begged him to marry her.

Paul claims Diana asked him to help find a priest to oversee and officiate things. Furthermore, Paul claims that Diana used Fayed to make Hasnat jealous after their break-up.

Princess’s Eating Disorder

The fact that Diana struggled with bulimia is not hidden from anyone, especially after she said it herself in an interview with a tv channel.

Paul Burrell adds that he would help Diana when she had those urges. He said he would get the chef to prepare the custard and some yoghurt and bananas.

He would also take care of her room and make sure that everything was set according to Diana’s needs so that she felt comfortable.

Paul stated he was doing his duty — he would have done anything for the Princess.

Diana’s Love For The One In Need

Diana would go around London with her driver to get some fresh air, and she kept looking for women working on the streets. The Princess loved helping them with money and clothing, especially when cold.

Paul claimed Diana would buy clothes from Mark and Spencer to distribute among the people and give 50 pounds per person while telling the needy to go home and stop working.

Helping Lovers Into The Palace

Paul Burrell did much for Princess Diana, and when you see it now, his claims that he would do anything for Diana seems true.

Paul claims he was used to bringing Diana’s Lovers to Kensington Palace in secret. He would hide them in the trunk or under some sheet.

Furthermore, he would not tell the security about who was with him so that there was no record with security and no names of them.

Fear For Her Own Life

Paul Burrell had a lot to say about Lady Diana after she had passed away, but perhaps one of his most controversial claims of Paul was that the Princess feared for her life.

Paul alleges that Diana had written a letter about this. She says in that letter that the coming months are going to be the most difficult months of her life and that she feared Charles would kill her in a car accident so that he could remarry again.

Diana’s friend Lucia Flecha de Lima denied this claim of Paul Burrell and said that Paul Burrell was capable of imitating Diana’s handwriting to perfection. She dismissed any reason to believe that Diana feared her life from Prince Charles, the country’s future king.

Helping A Grieving Friend

Paul Burrell shocked most of us with his claim about Diana when she helped her friend bury a stillborn baby in Kensington Palace Gardens.

Paul says what he had witnessed on that day was the ultimate act of empathy and friendship. He further says that I think this greatly reflects Diana’s character as a human being and sums up her humanity.

Final words

Diana died on 30th August 1997, while she was visiting Paris. Diana was with her boyfriend when she was involved in a car crash while attempting to escape the paparazzi.

All that we know of Diana’s personal life is from someone other than Diana herself — and because of this, we can only believe this to some extent.
