In my wildest dreams I can't imagine Diana having a sexual relationship with Paul. IMO it always looked like she sought out a man who appeared to be more stable/powerful/affluent than Paul, someone who could fulfill her very great emotional needs.
I agree. In the Diana Chronicles book, Tina Brown, by quoting Ken Wharfe, explains very well how Diana was attracted to a special type of man (p.278) :
" To Ken Wharfe, all the "Dianamen", as he called them, were interchangeable chinless wonders whose only talent was small talk and crisp dressing - in Savil Row tailors' parlance,"42 longs." James Hewitt, James Gilbey, Philip Dunne, David Waterhouse (who was in the same regiment as Hewitt), Rory Scott - "all" says Wharfe, "were tall, of similar physique, dressed and spoke in the same manner, and shared the same tastes and the same circle of friends, and, often the same mannerisms. They all had one other thing in common : they were nothing like her serious-minded husband, twelve years her senior and, by his own admission, a man who acted older than his years. "
(My underlining) Burrell didn't seem to fit at all the description and honestly I don't think he attracted her. Even if we know she possibly had an affair with a married man who worked for her, Mannakee ; he was much closer of a Hewitt of a Dunne than any Burrell. Moreover, Diana personally knew his wife as you can see on these pictures ( pic * pic ) and I really doubt the 24/7 is morally plausible when she could have any other man.
