For a brief moment yesterday, some dignity was restored to Britain's
royal family. The Queen laying a wreath during the annual rememberance
day ceremony in London. But it was only a brief moment. Everything
else having to do with the royals these days seems not only undignified
-- it seems downright sordid.
(SOT Simon Hoggart -- Newspaper columnist)
The level of ill-feeling , and dislike and hatred and contempt you've
got swilling around in royal circles now is, well I've never seen
anything like it.
(Burrell around trial)
And it all has to do with this man -- Paul Burrell. He had been put on
trial -- accused of stealing and hoarding about five-hundred items
belonging to Princess Diana... items taken by him after she died.
(Burrell with Diana)
Burrell had been Diana's butler -- her rock he said she called him. And
he had taken the items, he said, so they wouldn't be lost or destroyed
in the frenzy following Diana's death.
(Burrell at trial again)
As it happened, the case was dropped after the Queen conveniently
remembered that Burrell had told her he had taken the stuff for
safekeeping.
(QE2)
But the speculation was that the royals wanted the trial stopped so that
more royal laundry would not be hung out in public.
(SOT Ingrid Seward)
I think it was perhaps naive of the queen's advisors to think that by
halting the trial the dirt wouldn't come out because everything comes
out now .
(tab headline splay)
The tabloids here know what sells papers and they've been full of what
the butler saw for weeks.
(Butler and Queen)
At the center of the intrigue was a meeting between Burrell and The
Queen -- not this one where she gave him an award -- but a meeting in
which he told her he had Diana's stuff and in which she seemed to have
been watching to many Star Wars movies and warned him about what she
called dark forces.
(SOT Simon Hoggart)
he said some weird things about princess diana spoke in color whereas
you marm spoke only in black and white, what's all that about, she said
there are forces out there powerful forces out there which we do not
understand what was that about,
(Diana)
You get the picture. But the picture gets murkier still because one of
the items Diana was known to have had was a tape recording she had made
in which one male member of Prince Charles' staff accuses another of
having raped him. Not only that but after an internal palace inquiry
and a later police investigation the matter was dropped leading to the
question of whether there had been a cover up.
(SOT Ingrid Seward)
so as far as theyre concerned its an open and shut case but we're in a
world controlled by the media and to the media its not an open and shut
case 1539
(on cam)
So how much of a blow to the House of Windsor is all this? Accusations
of rape are a serious matter, especiallty when the attacker -- who can't
be named for legal reasons -- is known to be a senior member of Prince
Charles' staff. In the time honored royal tradition, it's assumed heads
will roll.
(SOT Ingrid Seward)
the whole thing about the british monarchy is that its like a medieval
monarchy and I can assure you that heads will roll but the head that
rolls wil not be prince charles'
So if you can stand it... Stay tuned. For the Early Show, I'm MP in
London.
