The royal insider : my life with the Queen, the King and Princess Diana

Burrell, Paul 1958- (author., Author).

Summary: "For over two decades, Paul Burrell was witness to the making of history -- first as footman to Queen Elizabeth II, then as butler to King Charles III (then Prince of Wales), and, most famously, as a confidante of the late Princess Diana. In the wake of the Queen's passing and the commencement of a new royal era, Burrell is finally ready to tell his story in full. In this deeply personal and revealing memoir, Burrell shares many untold stories of his life with the Royals. With warmth and rare insight, he recounts unexpected moments of intimacy with the Queen, who gently guided a fresh-faced, 18-year-old Burrell through palace life, and his heartache at having to say one final goodbye. He speaks candidly about the tensions that simmered during those years -- including the breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage and his own complex relationship with Princes William and Harry. Heartfelt, sincere and rich in detail, this is the memoir of a boy from a mining village in Derbyshire who went on to rub shoulders with kings and queens, princes and princesses."--Book jacket flap.
