- Much was learned from the PERFECT SERVANT: Paul Burrell.
Ooh, I've read lots about the world's most beloved princess, Princess Diana, but this book tells some of the most intimate secrets shared by the Princess and her butler, Paul Burrell. Actually, the butler was much MORE than a mere servant. He was her rock and yet he had no life of his own. He was addicted to her beauty and grace, and became in many ways a loving husband to Di, when her real husband turned out to be a jerk. He was also a loving brother, when her real brother let her down numerous times. He was her nurse, her shrink, her caretaker; all while being able to brew a mean pot of coffee!

- A cut above the typical "royal books"
This book is so well done. It actually has something to say. It actually has heart and soul. It doesn't pander tothe royals, but it also doesn't drag them through the mud.

This is an interesting, intriguing, inside look at the life of an obviously loyal and loving member of the royals' staff. Unlike some frankly bitchy books about the royals, my hands did NOT feel dirty when I put this ... Read More

- A Wonderful book
I am so glad Paul wrote this book. I found nothing in it that would make me think less of the Princess. In fact, it makes you love her more. She was a wonderful person with a big heart. It makes you want to protect her too. I only wish that Princes Diana would have let go, just once, and given Camilla what she deserved. I am sure it wouldn't have changed the outcome of things, but you just hate to see someone so wonderful trampled on by someone so undeserving and get away with it....but Diana was a Princes till the end.
