...dirt there is, flying all over London, kicked up by papers whose checks he rejected. The revenge frenzy threw off a raft of titillating revelations: Burrell sneaked Diana's lovers into Kensington Palace in the trunk of his car; he drove her around London at night so she could give away money to prostitutes; she once greeted her lover Hasnat Khan wearing only a fur coat and jewels; she bought pregnancy tests in drugstores for fun; Prince Philip, the Queen's husband, was said to have written Diana calling her a "trollop." Most of this did not really change what...
...butler, Paul Burrell, because of royal fears that Burrell might tell stories about wrongdoing inside the Palace. After the trial had ended, of course, those stories did emerge - filling the tabloids with allegations of homosexual rape among the Prince of Wales' staff and tawdry tales about Diana.

The Sun dubbed him the "Blabbermouth Butler." But since...

Prosecutor William Boyce said Diana's mother and sister will testify during the six-week trial that Burrell, 44, had no right to these things. But he did have access: he lived in Kensington Palace for 10 months after her death and helped compile an inventory for her estate. A palace policeman once saw Burrell pull up his station wagon at 3:30 a.m. and load it with a large wooden box and two evening dresses wrapped in plastic. When challenged by the bobby, Burrell...
AIRING IT OUT If you're starting to overheat from the back-and-forth grind of business travel, the Kensington FlyFan ($25) may be just what the flight attendant ordered. It's powered by a laptop's USB port and cuts the air with 1 1/2-in.-wide blades made of fabric (so you can't cut yourself). You won't get there any faster, but at least you will look cool...
