BURRELL PAUL: (1958- ) Former servant of the British Royal Household, Footman to Queen Elizabeth II and later Butler to Diana, Princess of Wales. Selection of A.Ls.S., Paul, (and three with initials P), twenty pages (total), 4to and 8vo, various places (mainly London), 28th June - 20th August 1982, to Michael Hillard, some on the printed stationery of Buckingham Palace and Balmoral Castle. Burrell writes a series of social letters to his friend, some with interesting content, in part, 'Michael, thank you for my little pressie - its lovely. I've been sitting watching the little knomes dancing in the flickering candle light - I can't quite see what they're doing though, through all that frosted glass!' (Buckingham Palace, 28th June 1982), 'I was pleasantly surprised to see my "ring" in an Arabian magazine. Does this mean that some rich oil tycoon might sweep me off my feet - or Lilibet's very best Ascot carriage?? Wouldn't it be "great fun". Everything happens when you're away on a trip!! I suppose the "scandal".... has reached you by now. Isn't it dreadful? I do feel so sorry for him....it's too awful to even think about. I must know how he is feeling - having been in a similar situation myself once. The most awful thing was - being "sold" by someone who has known him for 15 years - and a male prostitute, to boot!!....Today sees the last of our annual garden parties...I'm sure that H.M. will be pleased - she is under so much pressure at the moment - the bombings (which we heard), the intruder (case still being heard), her dreadful toothache, (following an operation to remove her wisdom teeth)....all makes even me, "the staff" wonder, "what on earth next". I wonder how many other incidents can be reported this year. We are all so looking forward to going to Balmoral, where we might have a little peace and quiet....I'm hooked on Pina Colada's at the moment - they're great and so refreshing. One doesn't even realise that one is getting "piddly pooed" - "Great Fun"....Thought you might like to know that - for this afternoon's garden party, the Queen and Princess Anne wore their "wedding day outfits" - and looked smashing.' (Buckingham Palace, 22nd July 1982), 'Well, here we are at long last, enjoying the fresh clean Scottish air!...We have had atrocious weather since we arrived - nothing but rain and dreadful thunderstorms. Peter has already "attached" himself to me - poor little mite! - there's no-one else to play with - or anyone to match his vivid imagination. The Queen is in fine form and has been out all day with the dogs - despite the rain - she is pleased to be here and is busily visiting her little cottages and cabins around the estate....The house should start to fill up next week with the arrival of Prince Philip, Edward, Margot, David and Sarah. It will be so nice to see Sarah again - she really is sweet. Zara is "toddling" around the place and"visits" the Queen every morning at breakfast - and afternoons at tea - wearing her very best party dresses - she's so cute. The Queen often goes and says "goodnight" at about 1/2 6. "Granny" is thrilled with her! The "News of the Screws" this morning was ghastly! They're busy reporting Stephen Barrys memoirs at the moment - and defending him too! Well, I suppose that they have to as Rupert Murdoch owns the newspaper - and he's the one who is "backing" Stephen. I think that its disgusting - someone revealing the most personal secrets of the Royal Family. They must be cautious when chatting to staff from now on - after all, they must wonder "who can one trust?"(Balmoral Castle, 8th August 1982), 'Princess Anne and family leave us this evening - I'll miss my mornings in the Nursery, with Peter sat on my knee, wtaching "Thunderbirds" - such great fun!! At this very moment, Peter is pulling Zara around in a little cart - through the front hall and drawing room. I asked Princess Anne if she was happy sat there "Well at least she is now, until he tips over" she replied. Zara really is making the most unusual "car" noises! There will only be the squeak of Charles' little Willie, left tomorrow. The Princess of Wales is as "sweet" as ever - but one never knows what she is thinking. The family went out for a Bar-B-Q last night - it was raining and cold!! Margot screeched at the suggestion, and Diana groaned, Sarah pulled a face, but everyone else seemed quite happy. "Wish I was tucked up in bed with our one and only" Diana said before leaving. The press are here in force - trying their hardest to get a photo of William. Did you realise that on the open market - his photograph would fetch £100,000. The Princess told me that herself! Do you remember when we went to see David....and "Tarzan the Ape Man" was on the T.V. Well, ....we have the video tape of it here - so I sat and watched it last night whilst they were all out. It seems to be an absolute "orgy" and promotional film for "Bo Derek". She spent the entire film wet and screamed throughout. I must say though Miles O'Keef could pull me from the surf - and I wouldn't struggle - silly bitch, didn't know she was onto such a good thing until the end of the movie. Speaking of lovely "Gals" - I shot upstairs to find the Queens "Tatler" and skipped through to find the "beauty" you mentioned. I quite agree!....isn't she stunning. It really isn't fair!....Oh, to look like that....I must get back to the "body-building". We have had a few Scottish dances and discos since we arrived. They're hardly "Lyceum Ballroom" or Charing Crows (I wanted to spell it, how its said by Margot - Croors!)' (Balmoral Castle, 20th August 1982). Four of the letters are accompanied by the original envelopes hand addressed by Burrell. Together with a few pieces of printed ephemera etc. relating to Michael Hillard and his parents. Generally VG, 10
BURRELL PAUL: (1958- ) Former servant of the British Royal Household, Footman to Queen Elizabeth II and later Butler to Diana, Princess of Wales. Selection of A.Ls.S., Paul, (and two with initials, Much love, as ever, P xx and Love P xx), eighteen pages (total), 4to and 8vo, various places (mainly London), 7th June - 17th December 1982, to Michael Hillard, most on the printed stationery of either Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle or Windsor Castle. Burrell writes a series of social letters to his friend, some with interesting content, in part, 'I had a lovely week in Edinburgh - very quiet, due to the absence of my "little ones", but I had more time for private engagements. I opened a new little pub called the "Laughing Duck" - such a friendly, happy place - everyone was "so kind" and attentive. Then on another evening I opened a new "dance centre" dedicated to the "performing arts" - but my dear, there wasn't a tulle frock or sequin in sight - black leather seems to be the predominant dress for this season, trimmed in silver chains. I was always accompanied of course by my L.I.W's [Ladies/Lords-in-Waiting] - one has to be chaperoned, especially as I wasn't really "fit to receive "private" audiences!!!" (Buckingham Palace, 6th July 1982), 'The most awful thing has happened!! My very best tapes which I recorded for my walkman for use at Balmoral aren't any good....Would you be an absolute dream and re-record these tapes for me - my very best and only favourite artistes! I'm lost without Shirley, Dionne & Roberta - not to mention not being able to listen to "Making Love"'(Balmoral Castle, 9th August 1982), 'Received your despatch from the "Metropolis" this morning and after snatching "mon neuf petit chien" from Lilibet's one and only hands - made for the woods, where my babies "et moi" could read all your news. I'm sure that the Queen could hear me laughing when I read your comment regarding the photo on the card....Charles' little willie is misbehaving - keeps being sick everywhere - and cries...and cries...and cries! I think that the novelty with Granny has worn off (orf). Queen Elizabeth arrives tomorrow from the Castle of Mey...Geordie, one of "Mummys" corgis is very ill - and may die. "But there's no way she will have him put down" the Queen said to Margot - to which her reply was - with a puff on her cigarette (with holder) - "Well, perhaps he'll pop orf in the night....!"....I desperately want to see two movies - "E.T" and "Conan....the Barbarian"....Could you possibly book me a hair appointment....' (Balmoral Castle, 24th August 1982). Three of the letters are accompanied by the original envelopes hand addressed by Burrell. G to generally VG, 6
BURRELL PAUL: (1958- ) Former servant of the British Royal Household, Footman to Queen Elizabeth II and later Butler to Diana, Princess of Wales. Selection of A.Ls.S., Paul (and one Much love, P'), thirteen pages (total), 4to and 8vo, various places (mainly London), 5th June - 11th November 1982, to Michael Hillard, ('My dear Michael'), most on the printed stationery of either Buckingham Palace or Balmoral Castle. Burrell writes a series of social letters to his friend, some with interesting content, in part, 'As I sit here at my desk, listening to the band of the Grenadier Guards play beneath my bedroom window, I wonder where you are and what you might be doing. It would be so nice to have you in town for my birthday tomorrow...I just had the most horrific shock! The lovely letter which you wrote me from Abu Dhabi had been packed with my livery for next weeks Reagan visit at Windsor. Thank goodness my hat boxes and wardrobe trunks are still outside my door and are not being trundled to Windsor by the Army!....I had a super day at the Derby on the 2nd with the Queen - even though we had thunderstorms during luncheon....the rain stopped in time for Lilibet and Mummy to squelch their way down to the paddock to see the horses. Today, Saturday, is a beautiful warm sunny day, so after I have been "pumping", I'm off on the roof for a few hours of "bronzy bronzy". It won't be any match for your tan though' (Buckingham Palace, 5th June 1982), 'I have been having a super birthday party and "several" wonderful surprises!!....Lunch was for 4, which included your little friend "Scooby Doo" - isn't he lovely?? Such a shame he had to leave to meet some previously arranged "date". Ah well!.....The flowers are so beautiful - I don't want them to die!!....They're all in a beautiful bouquet - with a huge bow and fishtails! Thank you Michael - you're so thoughtful! I'm leaving here tonight to travel to Windsor. How on earth can I carry my flowers past the guards!! I must get Penny - our florist to arrange them nicely for me. The Queen would be green if she saw them!' (Ealing, 6th June 1982), 'Last nights "fancy dress", judged by "Ed & Sarah" was a great success - Diana's dresser et "moi" came 2nd - dressed as clowns. Sarah informed me that she chose the 2nd - Ed, of course chose the 1st! One wonders whether she favoured "moi"....Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday afternoon - we'll have a good chat under the dryer!' (Balmoral Castle, 31st August 1982), 'It was good to be back with ones very best and only friends, after what seems like an eternity away in far flung corners of the empire....Enclosed are your tickets for the viewing of "Beatrix the Bolds" arrival at Buckingham Palace. I do hope that Bo can make it....She will go "Ga-Ga" like poor old Wallis in the Bois de Boulogne and turn into a vegetable.' (Buckingham Palace, 11th November 1982). Two of the letters are accompanied by the original envelopes hand addressed by Burrell. G (1), otherwise VG, 5
