The untold story behind one of the most sensational chapters in the history of the House of Windsor. Paul Burrell fought to clear his own name. In this book he reveals truths about Princess Diana - and presents a faithful account of her thoughts. He was the favourite footman who formed a unique relationship with the Queen. He was the butler who the Princess of Wales called my rock and the only man I can trust. He was accused of theft, then acquitted following the historic intervention of the monarch. He was the Princess'' most intimate confidant - and may be the only person able to separate the myth from the truth of the Diana years.

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.

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.

" [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.
