It was in 2003 that Paul published his autobiography ‘A Royal Duty,’ which charted not only his private accounts of the Royal households/family but also his connection with the late princess. As if that’s not enough, it even included the specifics of the 2002 court case against him on theft charges in connection with stealing from his friend, along with the way Her Majesty saved him. The former butler had insisted he had over 300 of Princess Diana’s possessions just for long-term safekeeping, and that’s the undeniably essential detail the Queen eventually corroborated. He said: ""My mother once called this butler a dear friend, trusted him implicitly. We did too. Now this. He was milking her disappearance for money. It made my blood boil.""

Until now, it had been widely believed that the brothers had not spoken to Burrell since their mother's funeral.
