Story: A Statement Released By Buckingham Palace on Behalf of The Queen & Prince Charles Regarding The Publication of The Memoirs of Patrick Jephson, the ex-Private Secretary to Diana, Princess of Wales Date of Release By Buckingham Palace: 15th September 2000 "The Queen and the Prince of Wales learned, with great regret, that Mr Patrick Jephson — a former private secretary to Diana, Princess of Wales — has written a book about his service with the Princess which it is understood is shortly to be serialised in a British newspaper and widely published. Her Majesty and His Royal Highness do not want a book of this kind to be published, a view which was conveyed firmly to Mr Jephson in February 1998. "There is an important relationship of trust and privacy between members of the Royal Family and those who work for them, at whatever level, which is enshrined in the permanent confidentiality undertaking which all employees sign on joining the Royal Household." 
"The Queen and the Prince of Wales deeply deplore Mr Jephson's decision to proceed with the publication of his book." |
