Paul Burrell 'I Slept With Diana'

Paul Burrell = vile, disgusting, pig of a liar.

Not wasting anymore energy on him.

Diana Didn't Trust The Right People Says Elton John

In an interview for music channel, VH1, Elton John claimed Diana didn't 'trust the right people' and was 'airy fairy' with her real friends towards the end of her life.

The musician, who is magically put next to friends Princess Diana and John Lennon for his in depth and candid interview on VH1 is seen visibly upset when watching himself perform Candle In The Wind at the Princess's funeral in Westminster Abbey on the 6th September 1997.

His observations that the Princess trusted the wrong people, I feel, are entirely correct. Apart from two loyal and trusted friend's, Rosa Monckton and Lucia Flecha De Lima towards the end of her life, Diana seemed to ditch the friends she had known for her entire life, or her time as Princess of Wales for celebrity friends, such as Micheal Barrymore and George Michael

It's interesting to note that friends such as Rosa and Lucia have not sold out. Yet people like Michael Barrymore have talked about his friendship with Diana, George Michael has claimed Diana wanted to sleep with him and Bryan Adams have also hinted they were lovers and that he wrote about her in a song.

That said though, even Diana's 'normal' friends have sold out on the Princess, the two worse offenders in my mind being Paul Burrell and Simone Simmons. Ms Simmons who wrote two tomes on Diana was proven to be a liar by James Whittaker on UK daytime TV show, 'This Morning' and Paul Burrell also has been proved a liar when he admitted in a candid video that he had lied and laid down 'red herrings' while being questioned at the Diana inquiry this year.

So although I agree with Elton John that Diana trusted the wrong people, I also think it was hard for her to know who to trust and her distrust of certain people proved right. She must of felt at times as though she was stuck in a maze not knowing the right way to get out of circumstances.

Everyone from Diana's beautician to dress designers, from hairdressers to holistic healers have had something to say about Diana, 99% of it I suspect as not true as all these people have put themselves in a position where Diana's life would of been empty and worthless without them. It's funny though, how none of these people dared speak out while Diana was still alive , I suspect in case they worried about falling out of favour with Diana. Most of them waited till after Diana had died to sell their stories, be it on television or in print.

So, for once, I agree with Elton John. He words are very true.

Zara Philllps Out Of The Olympics

Ms Phillips said she is disappointed but added 'these things happen...... and I wish the rest of the team good luck'.

Happy Birthday, Phillip!

I wish to send a belated birthday congratulations to Prince Phillip.

The Prince celebrated his 87th birthday by attending a joint engagement with his wife, HM The Queen.

His birthday celebrations remained private.

'Backstairs Billy's' Momentos Go On Sale

When William Fallon - known as 'Backstairs Billy' - died, his house was found crammed full of royal memento's. The steward to HM The Queen Mother collected vast amounts of royal memorabilia during his time with the royal family and it's now all going up for sale.

Mr Fallon who died seven months ago from a lung disease, was living in a grace and favour property owned by Prince Charles in Kennington, South London.

Amongst the collection are letters written by Princess Diana, thanking him for his kindness when she stayed at the Queen Mothers residence Clarence House, the night before her wedding. Another details the progress of her new baby, Prince Harry. There are also portraits of the Queen when she was Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret. Also up for sale are notes from Prince Charles, and Mr Fallon's beloved employer the Queen Mother.

Zara 'I'm Not Engaged'

Zara Phillips has insisted she is not engaged to her rugby playing boyfriend, Mike Tindall. The Queen's granddaughter is eager to deny reports printed yesterday that her and Mike are secretly engaged.

However, considering the fact that her mother Princess Anne denied dating Mark Phillips right up to the day their engagement was announced, I'm not so sure I believe her denials!

Zara And Mike To Marry?

Speculation is rife that Zara Phillips, daughter of H.R.H Anne, The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips will marry her rugby playing boyfriend, Mike Tindall. According to the Daily Mail Zara has been advised by her father to temporarily hold off from announcing their engagement so she can concentrate on her equestrian responsibilities.

Only last month Zara's brother, Peter, married his wife Autumn Phillips at St Georges Chapel, Windsor and it's said that Zara is keen to use the chapel for her wedding. She also wants a small wedding like her brother had although she will not be selling photographic rights to Hello! magazine.

A formal announcement has yet to be made but according to the Daily Mail a wedding date could be as early as next May.

Queen 'Baffled' As To Why Kate Middleton Doesn't Work

Although she does not speak publicly about her feelings and opinions it was reported earlier this week that HM The Queen has privately admitted that she is 'baffled' as to why Prince William's girlfriend, Kate Middleton does not work.

After a short spell working for Topshop (her parents friendship with those high up in Topshop circles is rumoured to be down to her working there) Kate has now announced she wants to be a photographer and is training to become one. However, the Queen is said to be 'baffled' because Kate, who is now in her mid twenties has yet to have a 'proper job'.

Indeed Ms Middleton has come under attack because of her lack of employment history. Many feel that if she does marry Prince William, and along with that will bring the title Princess Of Wales and later on Queen of England, she will be expected to take on a hefty share of Royal engagements and many doubt she will be committed to doing that.

If Ms Middleton was still in her early twenties I think it would be passable that she is trying to find her feet and find out what she wants to do with her life. However she is now approaching her mid twenties, and her lack of any real job is rather worrying.

The previous owner of the title Princess of Wales, Diana, worked in several jobs before at the age of nineteen she became engaged to the Prince of Wales. And in her royal life took on hundreds of engagements a year.

It's very rare that HM The Queen makes comments such as this. It means their is some concern about Kate and her abilities to work hard. And I feel if she doesn't get a job shortly she'll loose some of that popularity she has.

HM The Queen Knights Autumn Phillips Boss

Last week HM The Queen knighted television presenter, Michael Parkinson at Buckingham Palace.
Sir Parkinson has employed Autumn Phillips, the new wife of grandson Peter Phillips as his personal assistant. He attended the wedding of Autumn and Peter last month and was said 'HM asked me if I enjoyed the wedding'. He also added 'she left early at 10.30pm and I left not much later.'

Sir Michael Parkinson's wife, Mary, now Lady Parkinson attended the ceremony with her husband.

Princess Beatrice Has It Easy

Her mother hyped it as Princess Beatrice's first step in the real world. (At nineteen she has left it a bit late!). HRH Princess Beatrice Of York was going to be working in top London store, Selfridges as a personal shopper to some of it's most prestigious customers.

However, the truth does appear to be very different to what has been allowed to leak out via the newspapers. The Princess only works three hours a day and is only an assistant to the personal shoppers.

Three hours? How is that a step into reality? When I was FIFTEEN a mere four years younger then Beatrice I did all sorts of work experience, most of them being at least six hours a day.

And the fact that she was 'dressing' the customers is also tosh. She deals with a very select circle of customers and is in fact helped by store workers so not to alienate these customers. That is fair enough. You can't expect someone who dresses like Beatrice to be able to choose clothes for other people. That would at least be cruel, at worst idiotic.

What seems even more absurd also is the fact that her private detective has to follow her everywhere. So if she is looking for lingerie to suit a outfit, he goes with her. If she has to dash off to find accessories, he is in tow.

It all seems a very weird situation and one that Fergie, who has been keen to boast about Beatrice's achievement of getting a placement at Selfridges knows very little. It's designed to give Beatrice an idea of real life, but how can that be? Who is followed around by security men, how is that 'real'?

Personally I would of preferred it, and if would be more honest and far less patronising if Beatrice took a job in a exclusive boutique or in a big company where she can be locked away from the public and seen only by those in the right circles.

Saying that working three hours a day and being shadowed by a detective is giving her a sense of 'normal' life is ridiculous. And if it's true then her day to day 'royal' life must be very strange indeed.
