Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell wants to tell William and Harry the 'truth' about their mother

The man who Princess Diana described as her "rock" has said that he wants to tell Prince William and Prince Harry "the truth" about private moments he shared with her.

Paul Burrell, who acted as Diana's butler for 10 years until her death in 1997, revealed last month that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The former royal servant said that his illness has focused his attention on telling Diana's sons "what they really should know" about their mother while he still has the chance.

Paul, 64, told The Mirror: "I spent many hours with Diana, during her happiest times as well as her darkest times. She confided in me and there are many things I have never spoken about, but now I feel the time is right."
