Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things, Dominic Dunn. Thank you for

joining me today as we take a trip across the pond to Jolly Old London. Dominic Dunn reported on all

kinds of trials, and one of the most interesting to me is the trial of Paul Burrell, the butler of Diana,

Princess of Wales. Burrell was put on trial in 2002 for stealing Diana's possessions after her death.

The trial did stop after 11 days when the queen stepped in to call the whole thing off. And our man Nick was there reporting on

it all. What happened inside the old Bailey and what happened outside of it too. Reporting honestly like no

one else but our man Nick. Today we are looking to one of Nick's submissions for Vanity Fair published in January 2003,

two months after this trial. So much good scoop in this one, but before we get to that, I do have

a few thanks to give. First up to our newest Patreon supporters with tremendous love and praise and thanks. Thank you, Sherry W. Orange B,

NQ5, Patty, Shannon W, Angela J, J, Jody H, and Kelly A. Holy Kats, y'all are amazing. I'm so

very grateful to all of our new supporters and as always our sustaining supporters as well.

more huge thanks and praise to give an incredible shout out. Many, many thanks to my gal in London,

Cindy M. Cindy M. did attend the talk by Griffin Dunn, Dominic's son, not too long ago, when he was in London on July 4th.

And from that event, Cindy had a copy of Griffin Dunn's the Friday afternoon club, signed by Griffin Dunn himself for yours truly. What a treasure. Thank you, Cindy, in ways I cannot

even express. I'm a little for climped and at a loss for words, which is rare for me. What a very

thoughtful gesture and gift. Thank you, thank you. Our trip to London is for you today, my friend. Again, I'm going to lead us in here to our story today with the subhead of the piece to set us up from Vanity Fair. After the trial of Princess Diana's butler, Paul Burrell, was halted by the queen. One mystery remained. Why was he prosecuted, given all the ugly secrets he

knew? In London, Dominic Dunn learns of the vendetta behind Burrell's arrest, the palaces scrambled

to keep a lid on an alleged 1989 rape, and the tape Diana made of the rape victim.

Sounds nefarious, right? Let's investigate.
