Paul Burrell planning documentary

Former royal butler Paul Burrell is planning a documentary designed to "clear his name".Burrell - who worked for Britain's Princess Diana for 10 years until her death in a Paris car crash in 1997 - is upset people think he "cashed in" on the royal's death, and wants to tell his side of the story in a one-off TV special.A source said: "Paul feels his side of the story hasn't been properly heard. This could be the best way of getting his side across."This way he gets to speak on his own terms without someone trying to put words in his mouth. It's hoped this new programme could be aired both in the US and the UK as well as on DVD."The documentary is expected to be made in America, where Burrell now lives.Burrell enraged the royal family when he wrote a tell-all book about Diana's life and spilled family secrets on several TV shows.Her sons Princes William and Harry are said to be particularly angry with Burrell, who they were very close to as children.They banned him from attending Diana's 10 year memorial service in 2007 and have reportedly rejected his attempts to reconcile with them since.

Does this person have any ethics at all. The final saga to making pounds from Diana's memory. Anyone who remotely cared about her would just keep her private life quiet....even if for the sake of her sons.

I nearly laughed out loud, 'Paul wanted to tell his side of the story' Isn't that all we have heard anyway....? I do feel a little sorry for him, being totally incapable of accepting that his 'old life' ended with the death of the Princess and now he has to be a 'no body' like the rest of us. I know that life with the royals can seem awfully cruel when your services are no longer required and you walk out of the palace for the last time never to return again but he must remember he was only an employee and not a royal himself.
