Paul Burrell | A Royal Duty
A Royal Duty by Paul Burrell offers a deeply personal account of life behind the doors of the British Royal Household and, above all, of the years the author spent as a trusted member of Diana, Princess of Wales's staff. Before becoming Diana's butler, Burrell served at Buckingham Palace and developed a close working relationship with Queen Elizabeth II, giving him an unusual perspective on the traditions, protocol and private world of the monarchy.
At the heart of the book is Burrell's relationship with Diana and his recollections of the turbulent years surrounding the breakdown of her marriage, her changing position within the Royal Family and her life after divorce. He also recounts events following her death and his own highly publicised court case. Part memoir and part behind-the-scenes portrait of royal life, A Royal Duty presents Burrell's personal perspective on one of the most intensely scrutinised periods in the modern history of the House of Windsor.
