Diana butler accused of gay affairs

THE controversy surrounding the Paul Burrell affair took another twist yesterday, with reports that the Princess of Wales’ former butler was gay.

One national Sunday newspaper alleged the 44-year-old married father of two had a gay relationship in the early 1980s, while another claimed he tried to seduce two men.

They are the latest in a series of front page stories since the former royal butler was cleared of theft charges at the Old Bailey just over a week ago.
