Burrell's double embarrassment

11-10-2006 13:00

Paul Burrell, the former butler of Britain's late Princess Diana, was left red-faced for the second time in a week - after another dismal turn-out to his book signing.Burrell was promoting his second tell-all book about the princess, 'The Way We Were' at Waterstone's in Glasgow, Scotland, yesterday (10.10.06), but only five people showed-up.The 48-year-old was even more embarrassed when he discovered one of the five was actually a law student who was only there for a bet. Instead of handing Burrell his book to sign, Anthony Narlock, asked him to autograph his notepad.He said: "I didn't want an expensive doorstop."The dismal turn-out mimicked a similarly embarrassing event at WHSmiths in Wrexham last Friday (06.10.06), when only five friends of his family came to show support.Despite being left red-faced Burrell is adamant his tome - the follow-up to his 2003 book about his relationship with Diana entitled 'A Royal Duty' - will fly off the shelves eventually.
