Paul Burrell, Diana's Former Butler

[Denville]

Probably Burrell was given a warning, that if he was saved by the queen, he should be a bit more restrained in his public babbling. He hasn't stopped talking about Diana, but he has refrained from attacking Charles or the RF as a whole as far as I know. And he would have had to give all the property back so he could not sell anything further

Her act ??

By extension, she didn't really give a hoot about jurisprudence or the case itself, just took it upon herself to impose personal and privacy matters above all else. ..I don't think so.

what are you saying? Of course the queen cared about the case, but she probaby was more concerned that her grandsons were not embarrassed by the testimony of an unstable and odd minded man who had stolen their property.

I just realized Paul Burrel is the only royal ex-Buttler that has a running news thread in here since October 23rd, 2005. I've seen him on TV and never liked him taking things that didn't belong to him from her belongings.

Did you read anything I wrote ? You and others have put across the idea that her 'primary' motivation was not the charges to Paul or his case, but simply looking out to prevent royal family discomfort.

who? the queen. Certainly not. the queen didn't want him coming up with a lot of anecdotes about Diana's and Charles' sex lives, with each oher and outside the marriage. She didn't want her grandsons upset by the trial going on.

I dont know what you are saying. THe police were keen on pursuing the case, and I think the Spencers were too, until they realised that Paul would use the case to prattle in public about Diana, Charles and their own family. of course everyone would rather he had been properly punished for it, but there were other issues, the protection of the grandchildren from embarrassing tlak about their parents, attacks on Charles and the ROyal household and family... and so on. Paul had to give back all he had stolen, and it did not do his reputation any good though he has enough cheek to go on talking about Diana even now over 20 years later. But he has not as far as I know gone on talking critically of Charles or the rest of the family. He has been pratttling about Harry who has not been exaclty polite about him
