I really liked Paul Burrells book, first I thought it was a betrayal, too but then I got it as a present and could not put it down. It's full of love and respect for Diana and the Queen and very well written. He was a broken man after Diana died, he went to Paris that horrible morning and made sure she looked beautiful before Prince Charles arrived to bring her home, he was totally devoted to Diana. The Queen even gave him a medal for over 20yrs of royal service.
Shows how real Princess Diana was... actually walking down to the kitchen to get orange juice and a bit of gossip or chat... she was so out of her league. Poor woman had so few friends around that she was craving for ANY FRIEND!
I heard that HMQM was waiting for a drink her Dubonet and waited and waited and she then went down stairs to find her servants arguing and then she said "When you 2 old queens have finished this old queen would like her dubonet" !
I can see why Paul Burrell wrote the book. Look at how he was treated after Princess Diana's death. He was arrested almost went through a HUGE (press convected) trial. After serving Loyally!! Loyalty goes TWO WAYS!!
She is not English!The Royal family had actually changed their name to Windsor during the First World War because their previous name sounded too German. Before they were the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gothe.
I understand part of these servants perspectives to a point. Ive always been attracted to the historic monarchy and the pageantry. But damn what an odd way to live your short life on earth.
700 servants & all those guards & security personnel yet that bloke STILL managed 2 get across the palace grounds through the door AND choose the queens bedroom door out of scores of others without anyone seeing him & she doesn't alert anybody? Something seems wrong in that
I believe it about Charles' temper. Imagine having to be so controlled all the time whenever you're out, no matter what happens. You'd probably explode whenever anything went wrong at those rare times when you were in private. The Queen, and anyone else in that situation who can behave themselves behind closed doors, must have an amazingly even temper.
Well, the monarchy is over thoulsand years old, and they have been in the royal houshold been called masters and servants for over thoulsand years so it does seem stupid to change it now.. And employers and empoyees does not seem very royal to me, if there is a monarchy you should do it the right way...
oh yes...of course.....always a politically correct bore in the comments...... when I worked for Disneyland....they called me a CAST MEMBER...and an associate....oh please...beat me but don't bore me........................ NO ONE CARES WHAT THEIR CALLED....................................TECHNICALLY I AM AN ACTOR BY THEIR WORDS (FILMMAKERS) BUT TECHNICAL BORES WOULD CALL EM AN ACTRESS.......................who cares.......
Being in the USA this whole thing just seems like one big soap opera. The Royals seem like they don't appreciate the hard work done behind the scenes by all those people. In reality they might actually appreciate but they never acknowledge it. I read Paul Burrell's book and found it quite interesting although he does come across as having a rather inflated sense of self.
...and when she overheard a squabble in the corridor between staff she was heard shouting "When you two queens have finished arguing, THIS old Queen would like to take tea!!"
They probably go to the 99 cent store like everyone else to get reading glasses for $2, AA batteries for their flashlights, and fly paper when the bugs go full swing in the summer.....
There's nothing wrong with working as domestic help or housekeeping services... but referring to anyone in this day and age as a "servant" is beyond problematic.
Fauntleroy I agree that calling them servants is not okay, but from what i understand the royals apparently don't call them servants, but staff, and in other, more modern documentaries i've also heard the members of the staff refer to themselfs as staff. I think the journalists making this documentary really liked the antiquated term "servant"
I would so love to serve HRH, she would have my loyalty all the way which i'm known for ....PPl must learn that to be honoured to work for the Royal's in the U.K is a blessing from God and honesty and loyalty to them is a MUST .They are Royal but normal too .
Well it is what they are. Changing the name you call something doesn't change reality. It's like we keep changing words of retards to mentally challenged to mentally impaired. Still the same thing at the end of the day.
It's my dream to be a butler for a family one day. I felt the anger these servants felt towards the servants that betrayed their masters, and did so minutes before it was brought up in the video. This way of life leave me in awe; the uniform, the household, and the way of life as a whole. All thoughout this video, all I could think is, "I want this for myself." And to those who say that those who want to become servants have no self respect, i dare to say you have no self respect for wanting to live YOUR DREAMS.
Anyone who says servants have no self respect are just idiots.....................read my few comments above and you'll see what I mean.....THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A BUTLER.......Focus your dreams.................
I don't get that impression at all. I would imagine when people are used to being waited on hand & foot, of course there will be one or two who seem to take this for granted. But overall, I believe the Queen's household members are also trained in protocol involving being courteous & respectful to staff & I would also think for the most part, they are. After all, they're not ignorant or stupid & nor are they unfeeling. When you employee 700+ people someone is bound to talk at some point.
"Royals" don't have to lift a finger or basically feed themselves because of who they were born to. Give me a break. I'm not saying they should get regular jobs. But dress yourselves and pick out your own clothes for gods sake.
oh another YOUNG little Dani and her opinions.....they do lift a finer but some things are just done for them as it has been done MANY MANY MANY MANY YEARS........100 yrs before you were born little girl................... they do dress themselves but as example, Charles servant (staff yes) knows where he is going and what he needs to look like and what he's worn for the last months!....................he doesn't have time to worry about what to wear and what tie goes with what. Nor does he take his large pile of laundry down to the palaces laundry or dry cleaning.
NO ONE is odered to serve it is a choice ! If you wish to be a lackey then that is your problem so do not complain if you find it is not what it all cracks up to be !!!
These servants seem like they need some serious therapy. They get paid almost nothing, never see their own friends and family... propably stay single... and fight for "Face-Time". Sounds very BDSM.
This entire programme appears to have one aim: to destroy Paul Burrell's character. If Diana chose to chat to Paul Burrell and make him her confidant that was her business. There seems to be a lot of jealousy and envy from some of the other members of the royal household here which doesn't say a lot for THEIR personalities.
Apparently the Queen Mother saw Noel Coward eyeing some of her household staff and said to him 'I wouldn't if I were you, they count them when they put them out'.
Tupperware was invented by the founder of Bryant University located in Rhode Island, USA. Was just rated by USA today as one of the best business schools. Thank you Queen Elizabeth!!
I like the story where the Duke told the guy to f-off. I know it's not nice, but some times you just in a bad mood when some one wakes you up. I can recall a few time where I swore at some one when I got woken up. When your tired and groggy sometimes you just don't know or care what your saying. Though I said sorry after, since it's polite.
There were no flowers from the Queen or other Royals at Billy's funeral,he had become an unfortunate redundant person after the QWM,who depended on him a great deal towards the end of her life,AND before it too. Just don't ask me to feel sympathetic with these people who cast aside their loyal staff after their useful days are over. The Queen Mother would be turning in her grave!
I always block racists. I also have a soft spot for assisting the poorly educated who believe posting swear words is acceptable on a channel accessed by children.
Why does Prince Charles have to be so nasty to the servants?? Hey, Chuck, chill out!!! Think this sounds a bit disrespectful? Respect is earned and he has zero from me and many of my fellow Texans. God bless Diana for putting up with him as long as she did. RIP Diana.
well, i can never truly understand the buzz around royalties especially william and kate. i'm trying to. harder to fathom about royal servants though. seems everything is being done by the royal servants, what a spoiled and pampered life that is for these royals. one that i cannot seem to envy....or respect, unfortunately.
I have attempted to post adverse comments about Royalty on here,because I don't say how wonderful and absolutely marvelous Royalty are I can't.Free speech is no longer alive.
Never,never,never work for Royals and expect the,m to consider you in the slightest. The Queen Mother's butler,who worked for her for about 50 years,and was a friend as well as a servant,was evicted from his gatehouse cottage(in 2003) at Clarence House a year after the QM died! So much for "noblesse oblige" it only seems to work one way with the Royals.Pr Charles called on him,and sympathised,but did nothing.He didn't even arrange alternative private accomodation. Billy Tallon died in 2007
+Galaxy Tab Just to clarify, President Obama, and all heads of state have staff (servants). President Obama only has to telephone his staff and he can have anything he wants.
700 PAID SERVANTS.......PAID....people with jobs.... Yes they can do for themselves. Should Diana have mopped the floors before her meetings? Should Charles take out the barrels of trash before his? you sound like a fool and UNEDUCATED AS TO WHAT THE ROYALS DO
I am an uneducated Japanese of humble means but I hope I am allowed to leave a few remarks. Some cry out for complete meritocracy - well, I think meritocracy comes in several forms, and some include the right of descent. If you accept the right of descent for your family, then it makes little sense to deny the same for others. The question of "how much can be inherited" is a difficult one - if you believe in little state intervention, then the substantial sums should be inherited.
Sorry but "Servants" are exactly what they are. I don't know you're experience or why you would feel this term somehow has negative connotations, but in most cultures, depending on who it is you work for, it can be noted as a "privileged" position. I'm sure none of them are "ashamed" to say they're "Servants" of the Queen or the Royal Family. This is not an issue for "Political Correctness" but a Fact of Life. A Servant is by No means demeaning, it's an "honest" paying job.
You think those servants are paid less than some one who flips burgers at McDonalds? you are wrong. Any butler makes far more money than a sales man or girl at Macy's.....a housekeeper gets more money than a bank teller in LA....read my other comments above all the way up and educate yourself.
William would never allow that kind of discrimination talk when he becomes king, his mother taught him not to use hateful words and respect people for what they are. He is following her example He would not allow them to use rude and hateful slang like that.
This is exactly why they should make William king and bypass charles. His mother when she was alive used to show concern about the lives of the servants who worked with her and William will do the same I am sure, just you see. He has his mother's heart.
I hate the way the servant described royalty as being above commoners as human beings. Firstly, The Queen reigns by right-of-parliament, and parliament in this day and age are answerable to the PEOPLE. I feel that when royalty behaves in a way that make the common people feel inferior to them, changes need to be made. The will of the people is who decides if there will be a King or Queen.
This Paul Kidd, is out of line with his views and opinions. He has a problem with coping with reality, rather than living in his world of being a servant that he allows to separate him from other servants. I do agree that servants have a duty to protect the private lives of their masters, however, this one behaves like he is personally offended as a noble one, and even entertains favorable punishment for the servants who strays. I's not going to gain him what he thinks it will.
Tradition is utmost important. I do not agree with people who enjoy revealing other people secrets and even claimed that they were doing this for the public. Especially when they knew exactly how damaging it could be to their Queen.
Massive negativity towards Paul Burrell in this video. Lots of bitching. A real pity as this could have been a very interesting film. It's made me feel profoundly sorry for the man.
I remember article in one of UK papers they put guy undecover the reporter find kinda shock that Queen ate her corn flakes get this tupperware bowl Really cute story LOL!
Poor people who go yrs and yrs and yrs serving these folk who are not incapable of running a bath or getting their clothes out.. If I can they can. I am related to Royalty too ( back in my family tree) Diana was real person and William and Kate seem to follow her lead and heck we know what Harry gets up to.
Can't believe you would chose to be a servant. Really truly - these pple just run a very sharp business. And goodlooking young families are excellent pr. Am amazed at the servant mentality. Urg - we are all just humans. None are truly superior to others. Good bit of brainwashing here I think
+tonycavanagh1929 I've noticed this too, so I did some research. Apparently, they hire gays, because of their keen sense of minute details. There's one tall, bald guy that's clearly gay, yet he is one of the upper staff because of his attention to detail. It looks like most of the male staff is gay.
it is absolutely disgusting that the royal family can dehumanize people like this and expect people's taxes to go to paying someone to serve the royal family. The royal family need to wake up and live in the modern world.
Copacetic so housekeeping, nanny, gardener, domestic helps, waiters are all lacking self-respect? the royal staff (which they're apparently called) do like their jobs and are proud of working there. Just because the journalists doing the documentary and some staff members use the term "servants" does not mean the royals do. Apparently they reffer to them as "staff"
Yeah but there is a difference between saying "shit" because you dropped something or because your football/soccer team got a goal scored against them. That is different from calling each other hurtful names. The first he would allow, the calling someone hurtful names or telling them where to go or to eff off he won't tolerate.
Oh, Brother! If the towel of a Royal Prince is laid out a certain way, and He has the money to sustain the service, it seems like sour grapes on behalf of former servants to criticise this process . . . as for the gravy badly burning the Queen Mother and steam coming up from her cleavage . . . gravy is treated like a sauce and is never served as a steaming hot liquid. Whomever wrote this muck is truly grasping at straws and has probably never supervised Royal servants.
its not scripted............but yes you're right....he shouldn't have said "steam coming from her cleavage"...he was just adding a bit of drama.................
Sell out servants are horrible people. The Queen and her Royal Family may be rich and famous, but they are born into servitude and are ALWAYS being watched. Imagine going through your life like that. The tiniest "mistake" according to whomever is watching them makes international headlines. Her Majesty The Queen is our leader. She is represented by our sixteen commonwealth governments and guides them. I would be proud to be a servant to the Royal Family and provide comfort and privacy.
Free speech means you suffer no legal ramifications at the hands of your government for speeking freely (though some speech, ie. slander or libel, is not generally protected speech) it does not mean that private individuals, such the person who has this channel, must give you a platform for that speech. Just as a person can tell you to leave their home if you say something they don't like they can remove or block your comments here.
Here is a phrase you should never forget!!
THE “ UPPER CRUST IS JUST A BUNCH
OF CRUMBS HELD TOGETHER BY THEIR DOUGH”......

No one is a Servent of Master. People are either employers or their staff.
I've always felt sorry for Diana. I don't think she had the slightest idea of what she was getting into.
thats what I have heard often The queen offers "friendliness ,NEVER friendship"
She is not English!The Royal family had actually changed their name to Windsor during the First World War because their previous name sounded too German. Before they were the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gothe.
I understand part of these servants perspectives to a point. Ive always been attracted to the historic monarchy and the pageantry. But damn what an odd way to live your short life on earth.
That Charles expected people to lie for him because he's the prince, confirms my impression of him as a person.
700 servants & all those guards & security personnel yet that bloke STILL managed 2 get across the palace grounds through the door AND choose the queens bedroom door out of scores of others without anyone seeing him & she doesn't alert anybody? Something seems wrong in that

Masters? Servants? How about employers and employees?
Well, the monarchy is over thoulsand years old, and they have been in the royal houshold been called masters and servants for over thoulsand years so it does seem stupid to change it now.. And employers and empoyees does not seem very royal to me, if there is a monarchy you should do it the right way...

In reality they might actually appreciate but they never acknowledge it.

I take it this was before Paul came out as he's portrayed as a happily married man
...and when she overheard a squabble in the corridor between staff she was heard shouting "When you two queens have finished arguing, THIS old Queen would like to take tea!!"
It sounds like a real life version of Downton Abbey.
They probably go to the 99 cent store like everyone else to get reading glasses for $2, AA batteries for their flashlights, and fly paper when the bugs go full swing in the summer.....
Human ashtray? no way in hell would I lower myself to that kind of abuse..
Your damn straight I am not the right person to lower myself to such nonsense and laziness..
I wonder why staff should be expected to have better morals than their employers?
Its called having INTEGRITY NO MATTER WHOM YOU WORK FOR.
Respect and doing your job. If they don't like it. They can quit
There's nothing wrong with working as domestic help or housekeeping services... but referring to anyone in this day and age as a "servant" is beyond problematic.

Long hours, extremely low pay, antiquated royal attitude - Eh. Royalty is such a silly human construct.
and you're a boring intelligent git...or twit WHO CARES....the Royals put A LOT OF PEOPLE TO WORK...........and a lot of college kids through schools.
"Royals" don't have to lift a finger or basically feed themselves because of who they were born to. Give me a break. I'm not saying they should get regular jobs. But dress yourselves and pick out your own clothes for gods sake.

i wonder if they pay well????Personally I would never want to be a servent for the royal ever!!!
They don't pay well
YES THEY DO PAY WELL......THAT'S OK..GO BACK TO YOUR SALES JOB AT MACYS OR GAS STATION
NO ONE is odered to serve it is a choice ! If you wish to be a lackey then that is your problem so do not complain if you find it is not what it all cracks up to be !!!

Prince Charles ripped a sink from a wall? I'm supposed to believe that? lol ok...
The Prince of Wales visited Billy in hospital that's considerate surely.
whats wrong with Tupperware? I use it all the time nothing wrong with it
Nothing....they didn't mean to sound rude....its OK.. I use it too
Tupperware was invented by the founder of Bryant University located in Rhode Island, USA. Was just rated by USA today as one of the best business schools. Thank you Queen Elizabeth!!
She was always gracious unlike Princess anne or the Royal who told a senior servant to F*** off
I like the story where the Duke told the guy to f-off. I know it's not nice, but some times you just in a bad mood when some one wakes you up. I can recall a few time where I swore at some one when I got woken up. When your tired and groggy sometimes you just don't know or care what your saying. Though I said sorry after, since it's polite.

33:40 He's got to be using hyperbole here, or one would hope. Beheading someone for telling about their service in the palace? Stunning.
"Once your head's chopped off you can't say a word, can you" :D Traumatic sense of humor :D
that is why William should be king he would never chop their head off if they did something he did not like, he loves and cares for his people
Is this an actual documentary or just a video for mocking the British monarch, cause Its a bit confusing.
Wishing the couple a beautiful life together always and don't listen to the negative comments they are only hurtful and evil.
The very best of the best has always been offered to the Prince of Wales

Good for you. Nice to see ONE person on youtube has standards. Its a start :)
at lest william wont treet his servents bad when he is king.
I would like a couple of servants, I just need someone stupid enough to work for nothing..
You think those servants are paid less than some one who flips burgers at McDonalds? you are wrong. Any butler makes far more money than a sales man or girl at Macy's.....a housekeeper gets more money than a bank teller in LA....read my other comments above all the way up and educate yourself.

How ironic.....
William would never allow that kind of discrimination talk when he becomes king, his mother taught him not to use hateful words and respect people for what they are. He is following her example He would not allow them to use rude and hateful slang like that.
i think its disgusting when servants speak about the royals personable business...youre getting paid to do a job, if you feel mistreated than quit!
This is exactly why they should make William king and bypass charles. His mother when she was alive used to show concern about the lives of the servants who worked with her and William will do the same I am sure, just you see. He has his mother's heart.
I have heard that Princess Anne is a nightmare to work for
So does this Queen.

The beans have already been spilled. He is only talking about what is already in that book and already in the media world wide.

That guy with the News of the World sign behind him looks just like Super Hans from Peep Show.
Yeah well Will and harry are the only considerate ones.
I have never read ( and I have red literally hundred of books about her)
The queen is very good tempered
I remember article in one of UK papers they put guy undecover the reporter find kinda shock that Queen ate her corn flakes get this tupperware bowl
Really cute story LOL!
Poor people who go yrs and yrs and yrs serving these folk who are not incapable of running a bath or getting their clothes out.. If I can they can. I am related to Royalty too ( back in my family tree) Diana was real person and William and Kate seem to follow her lead and heck we know what Harry gets up to.

Can't believe you would chose to be a servant. Really truly - these pple just run a very sharp business. And goodlooking young families are excellent pr. Am amazed at the servant mentality. Urg - we are all just humans. None are truly superior to others. Good bit of brainwashing here I think
Heidi Radda its no different to being a waiter in a high end restaurant
A good job for Gay chaps, since it seems the Palaces are full of them.
+tonycavanagh1929 I've noticed this too, so I did some research. Apparently, they hire gays, because of their keen sense of minute details. There's one tall, bald guy that's clearly gay, yet he is one of the upper staff because of his attention to detail. It looks like most of the male staff is gay.
it is absolutely disgusting that the royal family can dehumanize people like this and expect people's taxes to go to paying someone to serve the royal family. The royal family need to wake up and live in the modern world.
Hey if tupperware is good for Si Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame it good for the Queen of England
When they say low pay its actually minimum wage which is perfectly legal. Plenty of employers only pay minimum wage
There is no worse betrayal than in a master/servant relationship.
Same sex couples can only become Civil Partners at the moment, although the government does have plans to allow marriage for any couple.
can royal servants be knighted? I want to be a royal servant, in the department of back scratching.
How could you live your whole life being known as a SERVENT. And dedicating your life to serving another person. Don't they have any self-respect?
Copacetic so housekeeping, nanny, gardener, domestic helps, waiters are all lacking self-respect? the royal staff (which they're apparently called) do like their jobs and are proud of working there. Just because the journalists doing the documentary and some staff members use the term "servants" does not mean the royals do. Apparently they reffer to them as "staff"
Yeah but there is a difference between saying "shit" because you dropped something or because your football/soccer team got a goal scored against them. That is different from calling each other hurtful names. The first he would allow, the calling someone hurtful names or telling them where to go or to eff off he won't tolerate.
well, if you've turned the sausages you shouldn't have to wash the plates. Be you royal or not. :D
I don't blame you.
Oh, Brother! If the towel of a Royal Prince is laid out a certain way, and He has the money to sustain the service, it seems like sour grapes on behalf of former servants to criticise this process . . . as for the gravy badly burning the Queen Mother and steam coming up from her cleavage . . . gravy is treated like a sauce and is never served as a steaming hot liquid. Whomever wrote this muck is truly grasping at straws and has probably never supervised Royal servants.
its not scripted............but yes you're right....he shouldn't have said "steam coming from her cleavage"...he was just adding a bit of drama.................
disgusting to hear even 5 minutes of useless people belittling others.
Sell out servants are horrible people. The Queen and her Royal Family may be rich and famous, but they are born into servitude and are ALWAYS being watched. Imagine going through your life like that. The tiniest "mistake" according to whomever is watching them makes international headlines. Her Majesty The Queen is our leader. She is represented by our sixteen commonwealth governments and guides them. I would be proud to be a servant to the Royal Family and provide comfort and privacy.
OMG Queen mother, I loved her...

@GimmeKitty Several years ago and I don't recall the details - sorry.
Most servants don't live in luxery
Free speech means you suffer no legal ramifications at the hands of your government for speeking freely (though some speech, ie. slander or libel, is not generally protected speech) it does not mean that private individuals, such the person who has this channel, must give you a platform for that speech. Just as a person can tell you to leave their home if you say something they don't like they can remove or block your comments here.
