LADY DI AND BRYAN ADAMS?
Canadian rock star had eight rivals, paper reports..
LONDON — Paul Burrell’s book, A Royal Duty, leaves plenty of open questions about the Princess of Wales where imaginations can run wild. Like, just who were the nine male admirers the butler says were pursuing Diana after her divorce from Prince Charles?
Mr. Burrell stops short of revealing the names of the men who cast themselves as potential suitors to Diana. Instead, he publishes the nicknames he and Diana used to position the wannabe lovers on what the two of them called the “race course.”
Among them, in his words, were “a sporting legend, a leading musician, a novelist, a lawyer, an entrepreneur, a billionaire who ran his own empire, and one extremely famous politician.” Sunday, one of Britain’s tabloids, The People, claimed the musician was Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, “whose music Diana adored,” the paper wrote. No way to prove it right or wrong, of course.
Bryan Adams and Diana have been romantically linked for almost 20 years. In the mid-1980s, Bryan Adams wrote a song called Diana, which included such lyrics as “whatcha doin’ with a guy like him?” and “Diana — Can’t you see you drive me wild, I’ll bet you’re just a reckless child.” Bryan Adams’ co-writer, Jim Vallance, has given interviews in which he said the pair wrote the song as a “light, comedic commentary” on the fairy tale royal wedding.
Allegations of an affair between Diana and Bryan Adams were included in Christopher Anderson’s 1998 book, The Day Diana Died, which contained numerous unprovable details about the conduct of principal figures in the days surrounding the tragedy. Bryan Adams could not be reached for comment yesterday. Marlene Palmer, a spokeswoman for his management company, said he first met Diana, and Charles, at a rock concert in England in 1986.
Whether The People has any new information about Di and Bry is unclear. The identities of the nine men are apparently one step too far for the chatty Mr. Burrell, though he has great fun discussing how each was doing on the race course. And Bryan Adams is hardly the juiciest name The People latched onto. That honour they reserved for “the extremely famous politician,” whom they said tried to “woo her with intimate letters, flowers and gifts.”
The People’s verdict: it was Jeffrey Archer, the politician and novelist who has just been released from jail after serving time for perjury. Or, as The People put it: “The lusty Archer.”
