Paul Burrell served Diana, Princess of Wales, as her faithful butler from 1987 until her death in 1997. He was much more than an employee: he was her right-hand man, confidant and friend. She described him as ''the only man she ever trusted.''

He paints a faithful and poignant tribute in remembrance of ''the boss'' as the person who shared her private world and knew her best. In this fascinating new account, he allows the reader to feel ''at home with Diana'', sharing her inner-most feelings, hopes and philosophies that teach us more about her mind and the way she thought.
