At 66, Princess Diana’s Butler FINALLY Reveals What REALLY HAPPENED That Night
Nearly three decades after the tragic death of Princess Diana, her former butler and confidant, Paul Burrell, has broken his long-held silence. Now 66, Burrell claims he’s finally ready to reveal what he believes truly happened on the night of August 31, 1997 — the night the world lost the “People’s Princess.”
Speaking in a new, emotionally charged interview, Burrell reflected on his years of service to Diana, describing her final months as filled with both hope and vulnerability. “She was just beginning to live life on her own terms,” he said. “There was love in her heart, plans for the future — she had finally found her voice.”
Burrell, who served the princess for over a decade, insists that many facts surrounding Diana’s death remain misunderstood, even after multiple investigations. While official reports concluded that the crash in Paris was the result of reckless driving and paparazzi pursuit, Burrell believes that deeper truths remain buried.
“The question I keep asking is: why was she allowed to get into that car without proper security? Why was she not wearing her seatbelt, when she always insisted on it?” Burrell asked. “It just doesn’t add up.”
He claims Diana was uneasy in her final weeks. “She told me she was being watched. Not just by the press, but by people in power,” he said. “She felt something was off. She even said, ‘I’m scared, Paul. If something happens to me, it won’t be an accident.’”
Those chilling words have echoed in Burrell’s mind ever since. Though conspiracy theories have swirled for years — some even implicating members of the establishment — no conclusive evidence has emerged to suggest foul play. Still, Burrell says the inconsistencies surrounding that night remain “deeply troubling.”
He is particularly disturbed by reports that the ambulance transporting Diana to the hospital took over an hour, despite the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital being relatively close to the crash site. “Why the delay? Was it incompetence, or something more?” he asked.
Beyond the questions, Burrell expressed heartbreak over how Diana’s memory has been used and politicized. “She was a mother, a humanitarian, a woman who wanted to do good,” he said. “Her legacy has been turned into drama. But the real Diana was softer, more human than people realize.”
Now retired from royal service and living a quiet life, Burrell says he’s chosen to speak out not for attention, but for closure. “I held back for years out of respect. But I owe it to her — and to the public — to share what I know.”
