The name of former Princess Diana's butler Paul Burrell has been mentioned in documents related to financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to the published materials, Epstein considered inviting Burrell to train the staff.
What is Known from the Documents
According to Radar Online, the relevant information appeared in a trove of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice in January.
In one of the emails dated March 2001, Burrell is referred to as a "model butler" and his candidacy is suggested as a specialist who could train the service staff.
According to sources, Epstein viewed the former royal staffer as a "valuable asset" since he had experience working with the British royal family and might possess knowledge of palace traditions and service rules.
Attempt at Collaboration Did Not Materialize
Despite discussions of potential collaboration, the attempt to engage Burrell for work was never realized. The documents do not indicate that the parties ever made contact.
Paul Burrell's Reaction
Paul Burrell himself reacted sharply to the appearance of his name in the so-called "Epstein dossier." He stated that he had never communicated with the financier and had no connection to his activities.
According to Burrell, he was surprised that his name was mentioned in such materials.
Background
Paul Burrell worked in the British royal family for over 21 years. He is known as one of Princess Diana's closest aides and has repeatedly spoken about life at court after her death.
