Precisely! And the comments were allegedly made in about 1993, which was a bad time for Diana. Regardless of all the denials that are being published, the comment has been made and the seeds of doubt sown. It's like telling the jury to ignore evidence they have heard.
Diana was not particularly choosy, so, although unlikely, it is possible. The poor woman had been stuck in a very unhappy marriage for years and she was having a terrible time between 1992 and 1995 and she made some very poor decisions. I've always thought Diana had difficulties with boundaries. She used to visit the kitchens and chat with staff in a way that seemed inappropriate and too familiar to me, and, quite apart from these new allegations, she seems to have had a relationship with Burrell that I've always thought was a bit too close. She shouldn't have been making friends of her butler, which is what he seemed to think she was. And if she did have a fling with him she must have been going through a very low period indeed.
I find this Cosgrove business very sad. If he was trying to cause grief to Burrell and harm his reputation I think he's missed his mark because, after all, what reputation does Burrell have any more? As far as I'm concerned the only one whose reputation is going to be affected is Diana's, and I find myself in the unusual position of wanting to defend her.
For all her faults and poor decisions about personal relationships, Diana was basically a decent human being and loving mother who performed her demanding public duties very conscientiously for many years under considerable stress because of her unhappy marriage. She was loved by a lot of people and in her own way cared about people and did her best. I think it's time to dwell on her good points and not her failings. These new sleazy allegations are completely unwarranted. Even if they are true they help no-one and only serve to harm the reputation of someone who has been dead for over a decade. The timing's all wrong; it's too late to be dredging up new muck like this. The inquest is finally over and IMO Diana should now be allowed to fade into history with dignity and the fairness we would all like to have shown to ourselves and our loved ones. Her loved ones have suffered enough. If she did cross into forbidden territory with Burrell at that difficult time in her life, I think it should have been kept well and truly secret.
Shame on you, Ron Cosgrove. You're a nasty piece of work.
