flag Queen Elizabeth II told Paul Burrell in 1997 that “there are forces at work in my country of which even I have no knowledge,” during a private meeting after Princess Diana’s death, fueling ongoing speculation about the circumstances of her crash.

flag Paul Burrell, former butler to Princess Diana, claims in his new book that Queen Elizabeth II told him in December 1997, four months after Diana’s death, that “there are forces at work in my country of which even I have no knowledge.” Burrell, present during the aftermath of Diana’s Paris crash, said the remark came during a private tea meeting at Buckingham Palace where he voiced concerns about her legacy, particularly after Diana’s mother destroyed her personal papers. flag The Queen’s cryptic statement, unusual for her reserved nature, adds to longstanding speculation about the circumstances of Diana’s death. flag It echoes other unverified reports, including claims she questioned the crash’s cause, suggesting possible foul play. flag While Burrell’s credibility has been questioned due to his reality TV career, his firsthand presence at key moments gives his account weight. flag The full meaning of the Queen’s words remains unknown, fueling continued public interest, especially as Prince Harry considers a documentary on his mother.
