Britain's Princess Diana's former bodyguard is set to be the subject of a new movie.

US filmmakers are keen to tell the life story of Paul Burrell - who worked for the princess for ten years until her death in 1997 - as he worked with Diana so closely.

A source said: "It's felt Burrell's story is a fascinating one as he was the guy with the princess day-to-day. The story would focus on the years when he was working for the princess and how they developed such a close understanding."

Producers are hoping Burrell will join the project to give his advice.
