Special Appearance, Princess Di's Former Butler

Paul Burrell423 words H Royal Butler Paul Burrell to Appear THE SUBURBAN HOME & GARDEN SHOW Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks February 23‐26, 2012 Former Butler and Confidante of Princess Diana will Celebrate Her Life at Home and Garden Show Behind every great Royal, there are devoted individuals pouring the perfect cup of tea, lending an ear and offering emotional support. For 21 years, Paul Burrell served the British Royal Family, living and working in some of the world’s most elegant and beautifully furnished homes. Most notably, he was the butler and close friend to Diana, Princess of Wales from 1987 until her death in 1997. His tell‐all book, The Way We Were: Remembering Diana, brings readers inside the doors of Kensington Palace and following the inner life of the People’s Princess. More recently, Burrell was an official FOX News Royal Correspondent at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. “During the afternoon, I managed to talk with people who had gathered in the Mall and until then, I had not realized how great affection still is for Princess Diana,” he says. “Princess Diana was very much in people’s thoughts on that day.” Burrell will meet and greet with visitors at the Suburban Home & Garden Show, February 23 ‐ 26, at the Greater Philadelphia EXPO Center at Oaks. A private, little‐seen collection of gowns once worn by Princess Diana will be on display at the show, along with a short documentary commemorating the life of the beloved Royal. In addition to the dress display, Highland House, a well‐regarded American manufacturer of fine wood and upholstered furniture will feature a licensed furniture collaboration inspired by Paul Burrell, called Royal Manner II: Casual English Style. The collection includes an eclectic array of upholstery, case goods and occasional accents designed in the relaxed‐yet‐elegant style of the English countryside. “Most notably, we and Paul Burrell have taken great care with Royal Manner II to feature upholstery styles with simple, clean lines and fabrics that display a similar casual approach to English‐style furniture, “ says Parker Goss, president of Highland House. “We feel Royal Manner II will resonate with sophisticated consumers of all ages.” The Suburban Home & Garden show gives you the opportunity to spruce up your “palace” at reasonable prices. With over 500 exhibitors, find everything needed for home design and build projects. The show takes place at the Greater Philadelphia EXPO Center at Oaks, just five minutes from Valley Forge and the King of Prussia Mall off the Oaks exit of Route 422, 20 miles from Center City.

PAUL BURRELL Over the course of 21 years, Paul Burrell rose from member of the Royal household staff to personal attendant to the Queen of England and then butler to the Prince and Princess of Wales. Ultimately, he became the trusted personal assistant and confidante to the late Diana, Princess of Wales. In 2003, he published his autobiography, A Royal Duty, which included his personal account of his Royal service and his close friendship with the late princess, who was arguably one of the world’s most popular and beloved public figures. This book was a London and New York Times number 1 best seller and sold in excess of 3 million copies worldwide. His next book, The Way We Were – Remembering Diana, was also a best seller throughout the world. In 21 years of service to the British Royal family, Paul Burrell worked closely in and around some of the most beautiful homes and palaces in England. In actuality, his travels included far more than Great Britain and Europe, as his years of service gave him first‐hand experience of the most interesting houses in virtually every corner of the world. His exposure to fine homes, priceless art collections and furnishings has provided Burrell with all manner of expertise and he has become a taste arbiter and expert in food, wines, furnishings, flower arranging, etiquette and entertaining, especially in the English style. “During my 21 years of service to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prince and Princess of Wales, I have been fortunate to witness the ultimate in stylish and elegant entertaining, from private and intimate family occasions at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the Royal Yacht Britannia to grand and lavish State Banquets for presidents, kings and queens.

The World's Top Conspiracy Theories
The world’s top conspiracy theories The death of Diana The first Diana Conspiracy Site appeared on the Internet in Australia only hours after her death on August 31st, 1997. Since then an estimated 36,000 Diana conspiracy websites have been set up – breathtaking by anyone’s standards. Hypotheses range from pure James Bond (‘it was all an MI6 plot to protect the monarchy’) to farce (‘it was a fiendish murder plot thought up by the world’s florists to sell lots of flowers’). And most popular of all, Diana, Princess of Wales, isn’t dead after all – that terrible car crash in Paris was an elaborate hoax to enable the Princess and Dodi Fayed to fake their own deaths so that they could live in blissful isolation for the rest of their lives. Subscribers to this theory say that Diana was fed up with the intrusions into her private life and used the wealth and resources of the Fayed family to fake her death, and now she and Dodi are living on a small tropical island, communicating with her sons by satellite video conferencing. Think about it, they say, we never actually saw her body, did we? Headway Fourth edition Upper-Intermediate Student’s Book Unit 4 pp.34–35 © Oxford University Press 2014 1 You don’t buy into any of these theories? Don’t worry. There are plenty more to choose from. For example, Paul Burrell, Diana’s former butler, claims that the Princess predicted her own death in a car crash. Apparently, she was so frightened that ten months before her death she wrote to Burrell saying that a plot was being hatched by a member of the Royal family and her car’s brakes would be tampered with and she would suffer serious head injuries.

Childhood and Teenage Years
Special Topic Mag. Gross By Astrid Horejs June 2000 0 Childhood and teenage years Diana, Princess of Wales, formerly Lady Diana Frances Spencer, was born on 1 July 1961 at Park House near Sandringham, Norfolk. She was the youngest daughter of the then Viscount and Viscountess Althorp. Diana's childhood had been overshadowed by her parents' broken marriage. She was only six, living with two sisters and a brother on the royal family's Sandringham estate in eastern England when her mother Frances left home in a society scandal involving a messy custody battle. Earl Spencer later married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth in 1976. Together with her two elder sisters Sarah (born 1955), Jane (born 1957) and her younger brother Charles (born 1964), Lady Diana continued to live with her father at Park House, Sandringham, until the death of her grandfather, the 7th Earl Spencer. In 1975, the family moved to the Spencer family house at Althorp, in Northamptonshire, in the English Midlands. Lady Diana was educated first at a preparatory school, Riddlesworth Hall at Diss, Norfolk, and then in 1974 went as a boarder to West Heath, near Sevenoaks, Kent. At school she showed a particular talent for music, dancing and domestic science, and gained the school's award for the girl giving maximum help to the school and her schoolfellows. She left West Heath in 1977 and went to finishing school at the Institute Alpine Videmanette in Rougemont, Switzerland, which she left after the Easter term of 1978. The following year she moved to a flat in Coleherne Court, London.

Princess Di (E): Illuminati Ritual Sacrifice by Cainite Royals
ISSN 2664-4002 (Print) & ISSN 2664-6714 (Online) South Asian Research Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Abbreviated Key Title: South Asian Res J Human Soc Sci | Volume-2 | Issue-1| Jan-Feb -2020 | DOI: 10.36346/sarjhss.2020.v02i01.011 Review Article Princess Di (e): Illuminati Ritual Sacrifice by Cainite Royals Timothy Spearman* Toronto International College *Corresponding Author Timothy Spearman Article History Received: 03.02.2020 Accepted: 11.02.2020 Published: 29.02.2020 Abstract: Many people are unaware of the fact that we are ruled over by overarching global elite of interbreeding bloodline families, who have been referred to be various names. World Bank whistleblower Karen Hudes refers to these interbreeding bloodline families as a separate species of human she calls homo capensis. Secret societies like Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism allow these elites to keep their objectives secret, while initiating their bloodlines to the highest degrees within their aristocratic societies, ruling over us with an iron fist. The Royal Family of the United Kingdom is the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha German Royal Family in disguise. Their bloodline is the Cainite bloodline from antiquity. Their blood type as with all of the ascendant aristocracy of the world features the RH-negative blood type. Human mothers often reject the fetuses in the womb if the father is of the homo capensis bloodline. These bloodlines worship the dark forces and conduct Satanic rituals the world over. Fritz Springmeier's Bloodlines of the Illuminati has exposed the 13 bloodline families of the ruling Illuminati elite. This essay exposes the fact that the Satanic British Royals sacrificed Princess Di(e) in a Satanic ritual in a Parisian tunnel beneath a hill, where for centuries children were sacrificed to the moon goddess Diana.

The Labour Party and British Republicanism Kenneth O
The Labour Party and British Republicanism Kenneth O. MORGAN The famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, once solved a case by referring to “the dog that did not bark.” In the past 250 years of British history, republicanism is another dog that did not bark. This is particularly true of supposedly our most radical major political party, the Labour Party. Over the monarchy, as over constitutional matters generally, Labour’s instincts have been conservative. Even after 1997, when the party, led by Lord Irvine, has indeed embarked upon major constitutional reforms—devolution for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; an elected mayor of London; the abolition of nearly all hereditary peers; incorporation of the European convention of human rights into British law; a Freedom of Information Act—the monarchy has remained untouched. Here the hereditary principle, rejected for the House of Lords, remains sacrosanct. All Labour prime ministers, Ramsay MacDonald (1924, 1929-31), Clement Attlee (1945-51), Harold Wilson (1964-70, 1974-6), James Callaghan (1976-9) and, up to a point, Tony Blair have remained deferential towards their King or Queen and their entourage. The present Queen Elizabeth II had by far her worst relationship with a Conservative premier, Margaret Thatcher who did not share the Queen’s enthusiasm for a multiracial Commonwealth. Labour has thrown up only a few incidental protests, such as the “anti-jubilee” New Statesman in the summer of 1977 (in which I took part), described by the Daily Mail of the time as showing “the termites of the Left coming out of the woodwork!”1 In the past twenty years, the British monarchy has certainly weakened.
