A Royal Duty: The poignant and remarkable untold story of the Princess of Wales

Product Information

I read this book a long time ago and remembered when I saw it here, that I really, really enjoyed it back then. I welcome the official inquest into her death and it is my hope that it will uncover what really happened that night in Paris.

The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. There I was on a secluded beach on a very expensive little island with my hand-painted t-shirts displayed in coconut and sea grape trees when a lady comes over and starts going through them. I have always admired the work she does for her country, so it was lovely to have a little glance at her private life. You can tell that Burrell greatly respects the queen and the prince consort, and they treated him very well also. Interestingly the same can be said about his careful omissions, which not only protect the Princess but himself as well.i think it is more a factor of an obsessed man who knows deep down that his main importance is in association with diana - without that he becomes little more than an expert on royal etiquette. I think the emotional dependence on both Paul's and Diana's side was way too big and that was the problem.

Leave aside the last hobby, factor in the unabashed lushery, the TS Eliot baiting and the love of jewels and parties, and you realise that, in Camilla, Charles has found a reincarnation of the late Queen Mother. Anyway, I'm not entirely sure why the Royal family were so critical of this book as it mostly portrays them in a favourable light. I was going to say he doesn't have the common touch, but I'd be wrong, he has Camilla, and you can't get more common than that.

In actuality, his travels included far more than Great Britain and Europe, as his years of service gave him first‐hand experience of the most interesting houses in virtually every corner of the world. This title intends to reveal fresh truths about Princess Diana - and presents for an account of her thoughts. Although the book's title and cover makes it seem like the focus will be primarily on the Princess of Wales through the author's eyes, readers end up being treated to three different biographical views in one - the autobiography of the author Paul Burrell and biographies of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana (and her family) during his time as footman and butler, respectively.
