LONDON (UPI) -- Former British royal butler Paul Burrell is denying
reports he claimed he had an affair with the late Princess Diana.
Ron Cosgrove, the brother of Burrell's wife, said Burrell claimed that
having sex with the princess was part of his "royal duties." Cosgrove
also was quoted by the News of the World as saying Burrell told him he
once saw Queen Elizabeth II naked.
Burrell insisted to the Daily Star newspaper, however, that there is
"not one shred of truth pertaining to my service with the princess, or
Her Majesty the Queen."
"Myself and my wife Maria feel tremendously sad and hurt that he has
resorted to such vengeance," Burrell said. "Anyone who knows me, who
knew the princess and understands the boundaries and decencies of
royal service, as well as the integrity and trust which exist within
our working relationship at Kensington Palace, will know just how
fanciful, distasteful and malicious these claims truly are."
"I am mortified and hugely embarrassed at the claims attributed to my
brother Ron. I disassociate myself with everything that he is reported
to have said," Maria Burrell told the Star. "It is, perhaps no
coincidence that these claims have surfaced just three weeks after he
asked, via a voicemail, for money."
