Paul Burrell Rebukes Prince Harry as Diana Memoir Nears Release

Fresh excerpts revive claims about Diana, drawing scrutiny to an author long removed from royal service.

Overview

  • The Royal Insider is being serialized by the Daily Mail and is scheduled for publication on September 11.
  • Vanity Fair published excerpts in which Burrell says Diana loathed Balmoral hunting rituals and recounts alleged private remarks about Charles.
  • In a new interview, Burrell castigates Prince Harry and claims he was “used” during a 2017 meeting with Harry and William about their mother.
  • Harry has previously attacked Burrell and, in a 2023 court filing, said he and William had very strong feelings about Burrell’s perceived indiscretions, including an allegation he sold Diana’s possessions.
  • Observers note Burrell left royal service in 1997, while he says he is relaying information he believes Diana wanted passed to her sons to help mend their rift.
