Burrell’s Rock
‘PAUL Burrell was Princess Dianas rock. Princess Diana was the Peoples Princess. Ergo, Paul Burrell is also our rock.
‘I’m thinking of having it pinned to my scrotum’ |
So, Anorak wont have a word said against the man whose only wish after the death of his beloved mistress was to live a quiet life as a florist.
It was hardly his fault that he was forced to write a book containing all the Princesss secrets (or all the ones he hasnt held back for the inevitable sequel).
The very title of the tome, A Royal Duty, is evidence of a man who was only doing what the Princess herself that paragon of Royal duty – would have done in similar circumstances.
And if he happened to amass a £4.5m fortune as a result of all the people with a keen interest in Royal history who bought said book, then who are we to cavil?
Indeed, when we see the 46-year-old with a new £40,000 diamond stud in his left ear on the front page of this mornings Express, it is as if Diana were born again.
And if the former butler wants to dress up in the privacy of his own home in some of the Princesss dresses that he had for safekeeping, what greater tribute could he pay to the erstwhile Queen of Hearts?
It doesnt make him gay. No, hes as straight as the day is long…in northern Norway…in December.’
