Speaking In His Defense
The charges against Burrell were thrown out after the Queen interceded in his defense. Permission had been issued to the former employee to store the 310 items. The allegations against Burrell have been dropped as a result of this ruling.
Not The Last Time
Though no one can be sure about Burrell’s future deeds, this will not be the last time his actions are called into question. Authorities discovered a former member of the Royal family’s messages to have been illegally duplicated in Diana’s death in 2011. Burrell argued that he was doing this regardless of the papers’ historical importance.
