Another Butler shames the Queen. Just as the paul Burrell fiasco dies down, a second Royal butler is to go on trial. heaping more misery on the Queen. Harold Brown worked with Paul Burrell for Diana and the late Princess Margaret and became her favourite servant. After the collapsed of the Burrell case, meetings took place between the attorney-general lord Goldsmith and the prosecutors as Brown is accused of stealing more than $1 million dollars worth of valuables from Diana's estate. Allegedlt taken were earrings, a bangle and a gem-encrusted dhow, an Arab boat which was broken down and re-sold.
But the fear for the Royals is that if Harold Brown feels he is heading for prison, he too may expose Palace scandals in court. "The Queen will be just as glad when all this is over" said one courtier, "She doesn't deserve this after 50 years of service. The other bog losers in this saga are the Spencer family, who took a terrible bashing in court. It was revealed that Diana had not spoken to her mother Frances Shand Kydd for the past four months of her life, after she had criticised Diana's choice of boyfriends. Diana's brother Earl Spencer had abgered her by not allowing her to live on his Althorp estate. And her sister Lady Sarah McCorqudale, who once dated Prince Charles, said bitterly, "I thought all this would be mine one day". According to Paul Burrell, the Spencers had found Diana unacceptable in life but she suddenly became acceptable in death at $10.50 ($30 Aus) a ticket for the Earl's museum at Althorp.
