217. Diana's Secret Keeper | Paul Burrell

Today, with all the talk of Diana this week, we are taking a page out of the Done and Dunne podcast with a very reliable narrator for this particular trashy tale. Dominick Dunne went to London in 2002 to report in on the trial of Paul Burrell, the royal butler who knows all Diana’s secrets. The Diana in question is, of course, Princess of Wales. Dunne reports in on this trial of the most loyal servant ever, which is halted after 11 days, right before Paul’s appearance on the stand. Why the delay at The Old Bailey? Why, of course, Queen Elizabeth II steps in with late-breaking testimony about an important conversation from years before that will change the whole narrative in her Jubilee year.
