Some time ago, Paul Burrell, Lady Di's butler, left more than one person speechless with the unforgettable and revealing confessions he made about the Princess of Wales. "She was a woman ahead of her time," he stated on a television program in our country.

Paul Burrell rose to fame for having been part of the closest circle of the British royal family. He was first Queen Elizabeth II's butler, and later became the personal support of Lady Di.

During his interview, the butler was very clear about it: "I think we're not going to see anyone like her." In addition, he had no qualms about stating that the Princess of Wales "was a woman ahead of her time." "The only thing she wanted to do was bring a breath of fresh air," he added afterwards.

Paul Burrell left everyone speechless with his revealing story about Lady Di: "Diana fell in love with the prince"

Paul Burrell confessed that, although almost three decades have passed since her death, her memory is still alive: "We keep talking about her, that's her greatness." In addition, as if that were not enough, he revealed the reasons why he left his job beside Elizabeth II:

"I miss my friend, the woman I knew behind closed doors, I miss her laughter... I didn't want to change jobs, I had the best job in the world, but I got married, we had babies and we kept living in the palace and it wasn't an ideal place to live."

In fact, according to Paul Burrell, Lady Di told his wife "that we deserved a better life in a little house in the countryside." "[She told me]that if I left the queen and went with her, they'd give me that place," he added afterwards.

At this moment, Cristina Tárrega openly confessed her rejection of Camilla. Paul, in response, offered her a hug while saying: "I've seen many tears behind closed doors."

"The problem is that Diana fell in love with the prince and he didn't fall in love with her. He was already in love with someone else, he never looked for a partner, he was looking for a mother... Now he has what he always wanted," Paul Burrell revealed.

Meanwhile, regarding the way Charles III treated Diana, the guest confirmed that she never knew what true love was. He even said that she came to thank her husband for the emotional abuse she received, since that allowed her to see the dark side of a relationship.

Meanwhile, regarding the bond the princess kept with the queen, Paul Burrell stated that Elizabeth II didn't understand that her son preferred Camilla.

At this moment, entering Lady Di's sentimental life, the butler stated that she wasn't in love with Dodi Al-Fayed when she died. In fact, he confirmed that her true love was a cardiovascular surgeon whom she wanted to marry, although she couldn't because of his religious beliefs.

The host didn't hesitate to interrupt Paul Burrell's story to ask him directly if it was true that there was a letter written by Diana about her death. The guest didn't hesitate to clear up the question: "Yes."

The butler said it was a document in which the Princess of Wales warned that her husband would plan her death in an accident. "It's chilling to read that prophecy in her own handwriting," he added afterwards.

When recalling his last moments with Diana in the hospital, Paul Burrell couldn't help but get emotional. Through tears, he remembered how he felt the movement of her eyelashes and asked: "Is she still alive?"
