Prince Charles slammed ex-royal butler Paul Burrell as “pathetic” in an unearthed letter going up for auction.
The handwritten note, over four pages, rails against Royal household staff who 'exercise their pathetic jealousies and vendettas in public'.
Charles penned the note in 2002, weeks after Burrell - Diana’s ex-butler - had gone on trial on theft charges relating to 310 of items worth £4.5m belonging to the late princess.
