The Royal Insider

My Life with the Queen, the King and Princess Diana - The Instant Sunday Times Bestselling Royal Autobiography

By: Paul Burrell

Narrated by: Paul Burrell

THE BRAND NEW REVELATORY ROYAL MEMOIR FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR PAUL BURRELL.

'A moving and at times jaw-dropping account - not just of his two decades when he had a ringside seat at the heart of the Royal Family, but also of the years since,' Richard Kay, DAILY MAIL

'For twenty-one years I was in a privileged position and shared the lives of the Queen and Princess Diana. Now that neither of these two wonderful women are here, that duty continues for me in the need to protect their legacy.'

For over two decades, Paul Burrell was a silent witness to the making of history - first as footman to Queen Elizabeth II, then as butler to King Charles III (then Prince of Wales), and, most famously, as a confidante of the late Princess Diana. Now, with a unique perspective shaped by time and change, he's ready to share his own story alongside theirs.

His bestselling memoir, A Royal Duty, about his friendship with Diana, sent shockwaves around the world, selling over two million copies. But it is only, in the wake of the Queen's passing and the commencement of a new royal era, Burrell feels he can finally tell his story in full.

In this deeply personal and intimate memoir, Burrell shares many untold stories of his life at home and abroad with the Royals. With warmth, candour, and rare insight, he recounts unexpected moments of intimacy with the Queen, who gently guided a fresh-faced, 18-year-old Burrell through palace life.

He speaks candidly about the tensions that simmered during those years - including the breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage and his own complex relationship with Princes William and Harry.

He also reveals his heartache at parting with three of the most significant women in his life - the Queen, Diana and his wife Maria - all while navigating his own personal journey to happiness as well as a battle with prostate cancer.

Heartfelt, sincere and rich in detail, this is the memoir of a man who has lived and learned in the most extraordinary of ways.

A Royal Must Read!

I laughed and cried throughout this book. I lost track of Princess Diana's world when she passed away. Mr. Burrell does an excellent job of retelling his story of his time with the Royals. I had no idea he was treated so poorly by some of the Royals. I wish him only the best!

Repackaging of previous book with some new info

interesting but I already paid for this book once and didn’t get a lot of new info in this version

Paul will take you through this journey!

I was 4 months older than Princess Diana. I grew up in the Appalachian Mtns of East Tennessee. No one cared or knew much about the Royals. Well, we thought they were a joke. As a young adult, I saw a photo of a beautiful woman on People Magazine. It was Princess Diana! I had thought all the Royals were ugly! Being her age, I was intrigued with her clothing and subsequently would buy any magazine with her photos. That's how I came to know her, Charles and later, Camilla. Camilla wouldn't have fared well in America. I'll keep this short but I hope, when he becomes King, William dispatches Camila to banishment ASAP and fixes his relationship with Harry. William will do well with Harry at his side. Remember William, if we want God to forgive us, He said we must first forgive others. Paul took me back to my youth and memories of Princess Diana. I recommend this book to everyone.
