Did the Butler Do It With Di?

Brother-in-law tells tab Paul Burrell confessed to 'kinky' confabs with princess

Share

(Newser) – Did Princess Diana bed her royal butler? That’s what Paul Burrell's brother-in-law tells the News of the World, per a 1993 pub confession. "He suddenly tells me he's been having a sexual relationship with Princess Diana," Ron Cosgrove said. “He said they did it in the bedroom, the bath, everywhere. He claimed Diana liked to be domineering.”

“He’d get a call from Diana in the middle of the night specifically to have sex with her. He said she was very sexually demanding—'a bit ****ing kinky' were his words—and if you worked for the princess you worked for her 24/7,” Cosgrove, brother of Burrell's wife, Maria, recounts. "He said, ‘It's something I've got to do.' Like it was part of his duties.”

One Of A Kind/ Princess Di For those of us who believe and for what it's worth, that there are and have been Angels right here on earth As Elegant as a swan as compassionate as a Nun, hearts all over the world hands down she's won, she used her wealth and brillant mind to help ellimate land mines, she focused on the poorest among mankind She had a rare and genuine soft spot, for people with incurable diseases, she looked beyond what they had and she showed them the love they needed, she was wealthy with lots of diamonds and gold which would have made it easy for her to turn up her nose instead a humanitarian in life, is what she chose She was young in years, old in soul, A tender mother something which came naturally, through her sons her work, still loudly speaks If we've learned anything at all from her existence it should have been, that each one of us can and should try to make a difference There's plenty theories of how she passed, let's focus more on how she lived, vengeance is mine said the lord we must let him do his work, in our heart she'll stay Alive, because God made only one "Princess Di" Poet:Tina Marie Clark Copyright:2007 Reply
