A loyal butler to Princess Diana even beyond her death, or a thief in the night hoarding hundreds of her personal items for his own gain?
Despite being accused of stealing from his former boss, Paul Burrell maintains his innocence.
Acting as the “rock” of the late Princess of Wales, Burrell claims to have been safekeeping letters, photos, and personal effects from other pilfering hands and libellous eyes. But what could justify holding a letter from a mother to her sons for four years?
Before a jury can decide, miraculous intervention from the Queen collapses the trial just 9 days after it begins.
Through reconstructions based upon court transcripts, and contributions from witnesses and legal experts, we tell the mysterious and bizarre story of The Trial of Paul Burrell.
