I love how Paul makes it all about him, as per usual. Somethings don’t need to be said.

Watch Paul B’s face whenever the other royal commentator speaks. He actually grits his teeth when he speaks. I like the other royal commentator better. Paul believes he, and only he, is the definitive voice for Diana and even the RF. Yet they refuse to talk to him now. Wonder why?

The butler is the most untrustworthy person, he has made a career out of talking about Diana and has been caught in several lies. The graceful thing to have done from day one was to exercise discretion, but instead he continues to betray her trust. You were the help, However fond of you she was, being discreet was part of your job. It's not his place to tell these things.

I really really loved it. It’s beautifully done, and the actress that played Diana was unbelievably brilliant. If you don’t like it, or think it’s too soon, then don’t watch it.

I just don’t know how he can sit and criticise the Crown for bringing up Diana’s death and Prince Harry for sharing his story while sitting on Lorraine himself telling deeply personal stories about Diana and in particular about the day of her death. Complete hypocrite. I assume he’s being paid for his appearance and once again profiting from being able to tell these traumatic stories too. I just cannot stomach him at all.

The Queen and Princess Diana are multi-faceted like all people. Princess Diana was a ‘fighter’ standing firm in her beliefs but she was also ‘lonely and vulnerable’ and many other things, such as compassionate, highly sensitive and intelligent, in my opinion. She was not afraid to show all her different sides which was courageous.

From what we've seen so far we love it. It's almost spooky how much the actress portrays Diana....the voice, the mannerisms, the looks out the corner of her eye....amazing! But also very very tragic.

I just find it very difficult to believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

I disagree, i have lived through the era of Wales. I have watched Crown since day 1, my only two bits here would be, it is a potrayal of poignancy and pain from the eyes of the writer. Just watch it! I think this is by far the best hard hitting Crown episodes. Powerful and highly emotional watch. Just because it makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean its bad! Highly recommended for people to watch and understand the complicated sides of life. Golden Globes, Oscar goes to Elizabeth Debicki, i said it! Stellar

Paul says it’s difficult to talk about…then proceeds to talk about it pretty easily. I think these middle class people are unaware that many of us have moved on, and don’t care too much about the Crown’s portrayal of events. I wasn’t even born at the time, I wish Diana was still with us - I think many events that happened since her death would not have happened the way they did. But sadly we live in a world without her. But nowadays royalty is a bit obsolete.

I watched and liked. Found the depictions rather sensitive and beautifully and thoughtfully done. I don't see any slighting of Diana's memory. Good watch.

Loved it. They were so careful with the accident. I don’t need a butler to say he “knew” Diana. Nobody knows the real personalities of anybody. Diana wasn’t perfect and I actually loved that we saw the “bad” side. For all we know, this butler’s a liar.

I think it's brilliant and beautifully done. What led to Diana's death is tragic and that is the truth. It is not the series's fault. You cannot be upset at that.

I'm so fed up with Diana's former Butler. He lies a lot and tries to show that he had a much more relevant place in the life of the princess. I wish they would stop interviewing him, he has made enough money exploiting Diana's image.

I was very impressed with the entire Crown production. The final series has attracted much bad publicity, but hey, any press is good press! It was very emotional and very true to life. I, for one, have lived through most of the Queens' reign, and I am a royalist.

good to hear from someone who was there and it's important to understand the truth not what a television film portrays ,the producers of the Crown were making huge amounts of money out of the tragedy

I won't be watching can't go through all that again. Still really miss her. Big fan!!!

As much as we don't see the crash, hearing it can be emotional 😢. I'm glad we don't see certain events

I love Paul Burel very much ! he took care of Diana for so many years and really knew her, unlike many other people. He was also very respectful of the Queen. He is right, Diana was not a saint but a fighter. She used to call the paparazzis when it suited her and began cheating on Charles right between the births of their children, even before he went back to Camilla because their marriage didn’t work. In reality, she was not afraid of being the third people in the marriage of many of her lovers, some of them very married with young children. Her book and her interview were not fair to Charles, so ultimately we were manipulated. They could have become good friends in the end, because she knew he was a good and decent man and she could herself be too demanding, like with Dr. Hasnat Khan who didn't want to marry her. She did not hesitate to go to Pakistan to convince his parents, which was also not fair given their culture, and she probably hurt his dignity.

Paul doesn't seem to understand the concept of being someone's confidant. When you are a trusted confidant you don't go and tell their secrets and private information the way he keeps doing, you keep that stuff guarded with your life. Diana should never have trusted him or the guy who keeps putting out books about her that are supposed to be in her own words. It's a shame people just keep using her for their own gain even after she's been gone for a long time, why can't they just leave her alone and let her rest in peace already? I know she was no innocent angel but still. Greedy people.

She played with the media and paparazzi

Paul is abhorrent... always making it about him. Has he no shame?

Glad that Paul Burrell didn't have a part in the series

They needed to bring out ‘Helen Murrell’ to play the Queen. She did a marvelous and outstanding job in the movie

People in this interview have clearly not watched this season. Princess Di is portrayed as a fighter and the final relationship portrayed as a fling. Also, the Queen is not shown to be cold but as having to consistently deal with dramas at the family, national and global level. I also like how she requested visits from her grandson once he was attending school nearby to nurture their relationship.

I like the ghost of Diana in it

Prince Harry Netflix employee okay, the show

It was awful how the Press hounded her, even after the divorce!

Blind Item #11 One of the excerpts in this new royal book is almost word for word what the alliterate one told a friend back in September.

Interesting that he’s selective about what he does & doesn’t think is appropriate. There’s a play on in London about the panarama interview and he’s in the publicity video at press night talking about that positively. 🙄

They speak of the dramatisation of Diana’s ghost as if we all, especially the royal family, haven’t been living with the ghost of Diana since she died.

I'm glad it did show the Queen did what she did as a grandmother, even though i was young i think the public may have regretted how they reacted and didn't think first

I thought it was well done and I don't understand why it is so contraversial.

IMO it was well done. The fact Elizabeth Debecki is Diana incarnate makes it so emotional especially for those who knew her. The writers have reiterated that we don’t know what was in the minds of the characters as they experienced the major events in their lives so they have sensationalized various events to engage the viewers. Diana wasn’t a ghost, Charles and the Queen felt her presence and realized how she touched their lives in a positive way. They had a similar scene with Mohammad and Dodi. No doubt Mohammad was feeling very guilty and IMO spent the rest of his life trying to pin the accident on the RF because they never accepted him. The reality is he was inadvertently to blame. The Queen was portrayed much better than she was in the movie “The Queen”. FM it was made clear that Diana was never serious about Dodi. She was just hanging out with him to pass the time while her boys were away. Her thoughts were always on them. The viewer comes away with confirmation they were her everything which her fans already knew. This is another reason I believe the episodes were well done considering all the nasty things that have been said about her, Dodi and Charles since she died. I did think it was odd they didn’t have Paul accompany Charles to Paris but they barely showed her sisters leading me to believe they wanted the focus to be on Charles. It might be better to watch the episodes instead of think the worst because it’s so much more positive than most of what has been written and discussed over the last 26 years.

This guy comes to talk in public every time a new Season begins! 😅

I want to and try to like this guy, and most times I do, but he makes news in part because he’s an outrageous hypocrite. For example, I can’t help but feel he’s critical of these new episodes because he’s not portrayed in it!

I think they made it pretty clear what happened with Dodi..I really can't see how the cardiac surgeon doctor, treated her so nicely. She could have done much better. Sad.

The butler wants to be the center and Diana is no longer around to contradict him. She had a mind of her own. Charles asking him if he should go and see her, in his dreams. The people from the funeral home in Paris had prepared her for viewing so what was he doing there. I remember reading at the time that they had put so much makeup on her that it scared Charles out of his mind thinking she was alive.

“The real Queen 👸 of Hearts ♥️.” 👑👸❤️🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹

Kind of absurd them bringing Paul Burrell on saying they’re selling out on the Princess and that it’s tasteless when he’s been prostituting her death ever since she died

It was so well done.

Prince William has so many mannerisms of Princess Diana. He keeps us remembering her & sadly Harry misses out. Diana couldve had a pity party but she turned her sadness into charity for the downtrodden. Dr couldnt handle paparazzi. William has that LOVE Diana wanted.

Its a part of our WORLD HISTORY. She didnt vanish after the divorce, she became a world figure and the world loved her. Its just history. Sad history but part of our history...

Burrel and Scobie are close chums. Just saying.

You are losing your integrity by not letting go.

I cried. After around 20 to 30 seconds. So have a shot before it starts.

The royals should never ever be portrayed like that and the queen was much warmer in reality.

Russell Myers❣️❣️❣️

How are you, Paul? I hope you are feeling all right.

Brilliant acting in the Crown

I so agree with Paul’s summation of the queen. I personally thought the portrayal of Imelda Staunton was not representative of her at all.

The butler says he can't watch it but later says he's 'invested' in the show and how dramatized it is.

Elizabeth Debecki was missing Diana’s vivaciousness. I was on a city bus when a young man had the Vanity Fair Mario Testino shoot. I asked him to see it and the guy straight up gave it to me. Diana had this warm hearted spirit. Elizabeth Debecki looks the part but writers wrote Diana as a very cold and dark woman and she wasn’t. Diana was escaping the clutches of that family and learning to find herself.

Please leave Diana alone let her rest in peace⚘💖

Could this man milk his former job any further?

The Crown is a beautifully produced drama . I loved it. If you don’t like it don’t watch it.

Mr. Burrell needs to stop talking about his former employer.

It sound to me Dodi was the biggest victim there if we can believe what Paul says, his father was pushing him into a marriage, and Diana was only with him to make another man jealous, Im sure I read many years ago Dodi was in a loving relationship at the time he met Diana

I agree. The actress who plays the Queen does not have the warmth Elizabeth had.

Who really cares what he thinks.

Though I do like Paul (a lot) I just want an interviewer to directly ask him. Did you reject a job the late Queen Elizabeth ii offered you after Diana's death?

just wrong even having the sound of the crash.

Someone should do a movie about Paul being informed and going to Paris.

I have not watched part 1 of this season of the crown - but I will. I think people are over reacting to the portrayal of her death and the appearance of her ghost before they even view it! Did anyone go see the well known play called King Charles III written by BRITISH playwright Mike Bartlett that opened in London in 2014? I saw it in Vancouver, Canada a few years ago- pre Covid. In it the ghost of Diana also appears. It was done with sensitivity and I believe it brought a lot to the plot of the play. Where was the media outrage at that? Yes, the play King Charles III was pure fiction based on true events. So is the Netflix series! Yes, there should be a disclaimer that it is per episode but I know it is not an actual docu-series. I hope people do watch the series and make up their own minds about the events surrounding Princess Diana’s death. I was, and still am, a huge Princess Diana fan. She is a figure of history now and will continue to be portrayed throughout time. Sometimes well done. Others times not. Netflix has, in my opinion, gotten some things right in their portrayal of Diana and somethings not but, to me, it is still worth watching.

I’m Canadian, always respected the Royal Family, was so happy when Diana became Princess. Never did like Charles & to me is the reason Diana is not with us today. Him & Camille. I truly believe that us why the Queen could not pass the crown to him earlier. If he wants the Royal Family to continue in the Commonwealth he should step down & have Prince William & Catherine step in.

I will not watch it as I didn't watch the previous series.

Why is no one talking about the scene at the Ritz between Dodi and Diana? Did that conversation really happen?

I love all these hypocritical people saying he betrayed her trust, yet they read, watch, buy the book, be honest with yourselves why else do you watch these interviews or watch the crown, because you all wish you could be a fly on the wall, and that's what keeps the media reporting on this stuff, its just supply for the demand.

His claim to fame, why is he still being given a platform??🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Diana was not always the innocent victim she liked to portray herself

He comes across as such a liar

Isn’t he the one who stole Diana’s things, and was bailed out by the Queen because she didn’t want a scandal. I would TOTALLY listen to his opinion about Diana’s about memory.

I love Paul Burrell ❤

Did anyone consult William and Harry and ask them if they wanted their Mothers death portrayed on television.

Diana was not perfect.

Oh god is he still around?! He's awful.

If it’s one thing I am indeferent to it’s Paul Burrell feelings

One of Diana's quotes was I will fight for my boys until they get to there potential The boys mother's death was a terrible experience they were just children with those memories. Let them move on Stop telling the story over Nd over again Let them live there own lives Why can't you see this is not right Love her boys the wY she wanted them to be loved It's the past . This country needs to get back on its feet by moving on .candle in the Wind Full of love for all. .

I loved it. However, I didn’t quite understand why Diana’s ghost appeared to the Queen. Why didn’t she appear to her beloved boys instead?

if the show was insensitive, then why tf are you spilling all the tea yourself? make it make sense

Paul Burrell shoukd just stay out of this he isn’t talking for Diana. He talking just to keep himself in the spotlight. It’s Diana’s sons and family to speak up for her not some former Butler

I'm watching the last few days of THE CROWN. Dodie Fayed piece is definitely interesting but in no way does it portray the truth but only an explannation as to why Fayed the Father is the one who said they were to be married but no way does Diana see him as the "love of her life".

I’m so sick or people saying “well it’s not exactly how it happened it’s not a documentary.” WE ALL KNOW ITS NOT A DOCUMENTARY.😂 Move on and let us watch the show for what it is.

I feel so sad for Queen Elizabeth

Should anyone care that the ‘butler’ is dissatisfied about anything. Tittle tattle

He had a job, he shouldn't talk.

Why does the butler say that they don’t portray her being strong or a fighter? The portray that very well.

Isn’t the key role of the butler to respect the confidentiality of their client or boss? Feels like he is a parasite cashing in in his bosses misfortune

Watch it half way why you have paul on Lorraine i dont know i wont watch Lorraine again having this man back . What dose paul know about relationships when he wasn't not honest to his own wife

Milking it much, Paul?

Well clearly Paul has not seen this season because I thought the Queen was sympathetic. Imelda for the most part was not stoic and cold, not at all at the time of Diana’s death in the last two episodes.

The Crown's portrayal of the Queen is so disappointing. I'm glad Paul is trying to correct the record!

he is a total fantasist- he seems to actually believe that he is an important part of the whole royal family saga- we all know what he did

Paul really is milking it for the last drop isn’t he……

It’s been going down since Clare Foy not the actors it’s the story.

@BRACAmusic 0 seconds ago He knows eeeeeeverything!

When he appears in a documentary I want to turn it off cause you know he'll say anything (truth or not) for a dollar.

I haven’t watched any of it. Not interested in these adaptations of he said she said. Just let all of this go. It’s been over 25 years. Paul don’t watch it. It’s over for Christ sake. Over the years you have been dragged through the dirt. No more. Go live a great life with your husband and keep her memory alive within you.😢

Hearing from Paul Burrell is great, he knew what really happened.

There is Nothing wrong with "The Crown" Diana was no Saint and the show actually did her and her Worshippers a favour by NOT showing her adulterous affairs with several married men!
