The Butler
On the other hand, Burrell’s second role in the royal family would make him a household name. He worked as Diana’s butler for a decade until her untimely death in 1997, a position he claims brought him closer to his boss. Burrell went so far as to say that he was “the only man [Diana] ever trusted.”
A Controversial Figure
After being relieved of his duties, Burrell, on the other hand, has become a controversial figure in his own right, frequently making tabloid headlines. For example, police searched his home in Cheshire’s English county in 2001 after receiving robbery complaints. According to reports, Burrell was accused of stealing various items from Diana, her ex-husband Prince Charles, or her eldest son Prince William. Who was the one who came to his rescue? It’s the Queen, of course!
