A no-holds-barred letter by Prince Charles slamming Princess Diana's controversial butler Paul Burrell has come to light 20 years on. The future King lashes out at 'people like Burrell' to whom he says he had shown 'every consideration over the years'.
He rails against Royal household staff who 'exercise their pathetic jealousies and vendettas in public' in the November 2002 letter. Weeks earlier, Burrell had gone on trial on theft charges relating to 310 of items worth £4.5m that had belonged to the late Princess of Wales.
But the Old Bailey trial collapsed part-way through after the Queen recalled that Burrell had told her he was keeping some of Diana's possessions. The court heard claims that Prince Charles was a 'pampered prince' with teams of servants waiting on him, including one to squeeze his toothpaste.
