Paul Burrell Is Demanding An Apology From Prince Harry – ‘Callous’ And ‘Deeply Upsetting’
Harry didn’t hold back when he called his mother’s former aide a “two-faced s***” and “attention-seeking self interested” person in court. Princess Diana’s son also brought up a 2003 article in which Burrell was accused of selling his late mother’s possessions.
At one point, it was also reported that both Harry and his brother Prince William wanted to meet with Burrell in the hopes that they could get him to stop selling Princess Diana’s secrets. But Harry was worried that Burrell would use the meeting as another way to make money.
Harry said, “The article accurately sets out the position that my brother was open to fixing a meeting with Paul to discuss his ongoing exposés about our mother. However I had made up my mind about the kind of person I thought Paul was, and was firmly against meeting him.”

And now Paul Burrell has fired back, saying that Harry’s remarks are both deeply upsetting and hurtful. He said, “I need to process what has been said. I think it is careless and callous, what Harry has said in court.
He seems to be living in an alternate world, a world which is deluded. He seems to be able to say whatever he can and whatever he wants to.”
Paul Burrell Is Hitting Back
Burrell continued, “His witness statement which he drew up in the last few months is his evidence sworn under oath, he has said categorically in that statement that I have been selling Diana’s possessions. That is not true, that is defamatory. I want him to apologize because that is not true. He knows full well I have always protected and loved and cared for his mother, and himself and William when they were children.”
