New Releases by Paul Burrell

For over two decades, Paul Burrell was a silent 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. Now, with a unique perspective shaped by time and change, he''s ready to share his own story alongside theirs. His bestselling memoir, A Royal Duty, about his friendship with Diana, sent shockwaves around the world, selling over two million copies. But it is only now, in the wake of the Queen''s passing and the commencement of a new royal era, as well as his own personal journey, Burrell feels he can tell his story in full. In this deeply personal and intimate memoir, Burrell shares many untold stories of his life at home and abroad with the Royals. With warmth, candour, 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. 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. He also reveals his heartache at parting with three of the most significant women in his life - the Queen, Diana and his wife Maria - all while navigating his own difficult journey to happiness as well as a battle with prostate cancer. Heartfelt, sincere and rich in detail, this is the memoir of a man who has lived and learned in the most extraordinary of ways.

Paul Burrell served Diana, Princess of Wales, as her faithful butler from 1987 until her death in 1997. He was much more than an employee: he was her right-hand man, confidant, and friend whom Diana herself described as "the only man she ever trusted." Featuring previously unseen interior photographs and remarkably intimate details, The Way We Were flings open the doors to Kensington Palace, leading readers deep inside the private world of Princess Diana—room by room, memory by memory. Marking the tenth anniversary of the princess’s death, Burrell has penned a faithful and poignant tribute to "the boss"—capturing as never before her vivacity and love of life, her style, her fashion, and her heart. Some images that appeared in the print edition of this book are unavailable in the electronic edition due to rights reasons.

Das Schicksal von Prinzessin Diana kennen alle, aber wie sie wirklich lebte, wissen nur wenige: Ih Butler Paul Burreell hat nun in seinem Buch die Wahrheit - aus seiner Sicht - geschrieben. Fast 20 Jahre hat Paul Burrell als Butler der Royal Family gedient, zuletzt als Butler von Prinzessin Diana. Aber er war mehr für sie als nur ein Butler. Paul Burrell besaß Dianas Vertrauen. "Der einzige Mann,dem ich vertauen kann" - das sagte Diana über ihn, und "mein Felsen in der Brandung." Sechs Jahre nach Dianas Tod meldet er sich zu Wort, um Mythen zu entkräften und die tragischen Ereignisse um die Königin der Herzen aus seiner Sicht zu schildern.

" [Quelqu''un] projette de me causer un accident de voiture : une panne de freins, qui provoquerait un terrible traumatisme crânien, afin de laisser le champ libre à Charles de se remarier. " Cette révélation écrite de la main de la princesse Diana et divulguée par Paul Burrell, son majordome et confident, a fait l''effet d''une bombe en relançant la théorie du complot. C''est à lui qu''elle confiait ses bonheurs et ses chagrins, c''est lui qu''elle chargeait des messages les plus confidentiels. C''est lui qui, dans la plus grande discrétion, organisait les rendez-vous galants de la princesse et l''accompagnait dans ses combats humanitaires. Certains, si l''on en croit les machinations fomentées contre lui, ne lui pardonnent pas le soutien et la tendresse indéfectibles qu''il continue de vouer à Diana. Ce document exclusif, conçu comme un hommage, jette un éclairage neuf sur les circonstances exactes de la mort de la princesse de Galles, et nous fait découvrir l''intimité de la famille royale.

Escrito por Paul Burrell, ex-mordomo e confidente de Diana por mais de dez anos e durante uma das fases mais turbulentas do final do casamento dela com o príncipe Charles, o livro baseia-se em cartas endereçadas ou escritas pela princesa, algumas de teor bombástico.
