UK: CONTROVERSIES SURROUNDING THE DIANA MEMORIAL FUND
(19 Aug 1998) English/Nat
One of the immediate consequences of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, was the instinctive reaction of many thousands of people to send money to Kensington Palace within hours of the announcement of her death.
The Diana Memorial Fund was hurriedly created to look after the (m) millions of pounds pouring in.
Last April, Dr Andrew Purkis was chosen to look after the Fund following months of damaging criticism about the way it was being run.
With the anniversary of the Princess's death approaching, he spoke to APTV about the controversies surrounding one of the most famous charities in the world.
The man charged with deciding how to spend 70 (m) million pounds (about 113 million U-S dollars) of donations in Diana's memory was plucked from the offi...

Prince Harry & Prince William Will Split Princess Diana’s Memorial Fund
Prince Harry and Prince William will split proceeds from Princess Diana's Memorial Fund. The royal brothers have reportedly decided to divide the money left in their late mom's posthumous initiative, which was originally established in the wake of her tragic death in 1997. The Diana Fund hadn't been actively fundraising for some time but is said to have received $27,000 in 2019. According to The Guardian, the princes came to an agreement last December about funneling the money into their respective charity ventures.

'On This Day 1998: Princess Diana Memorial Margarine Sparks Outrage'
Tubs of margarine bearing Princess Diana's name, just a year after she died, were labelled "tacky" and "distasteful" after they were made in support of her Memorial Fund.
Her former butler Paul Burrell played a key role in the deal with Flora as part of its London Marathon fundraising effort.

Subscribe to the Evening Standard on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7RQon_YwCnp_LbPtEwW65w?sub_confirmation=1
The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex have agreed to split the future proceeds of their mother’s memorial fund between them as part of the separation of the brothers’ charitable activities.
An agreement was signed in December last year between the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the now abandoned Sussex Royal Foundation, according to financial documents.
It was agreed just under a month before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they intended to step back as senior members of the royal family and become financially independent.

UK: DIANA'S BUTLER FACES SACK FROM FUND SAY TABLOID'S
(13 Dec 1998) English/Nat
According to certain British newspaper reports, Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, has been ditched by the fund set up after her death to handle the (m) millions of pounds donated in her memory.
Burrell, who was referred to by Diana as her "rock" and was appointed events and fund-raising manager in March this year, has allegedly been told to clear his desk after Christmas.
The chairman of the fund, Dr Andrew Purkis, has strenuously denied the reports and has said Paul Burrell remains a valuable member of staff.
The stories appeared in two national tabloid newspapers and report that Paul Burrell had been dismissed from the fund.
The News of the World reported that the former butler of Princess Diana was sacked on Tuesday during a lunch me...

(10 Mar 1998) English/Nat
Trustees of Princess Diana's Memorial Fund announced, on Tuesday, the first round of grants from the charity fund -- with 13 (m) million pounds (21.3 (m) million U-S dollars) going to her favourite charities.
From the arts to AIDS, a disparate army of groups and charities united by the fact that Diana took an interest in them, will receive a share of the hand-out.
Landmines -- the cause Diana was most closely identified immediately before her death was one of the beneficiaries in Tuesday's announcement.
The fund recognised Diana's passionate campaign against landmines by allocating one (m) million pounds (1.6 (m) million U-S dollars) to projects to help landmine victims.
In the months before the car crash that claimed her life, Diana had made visits to Bosnia and
Angola to highlight the plight of landmine victims.
Fund administrators had been criticised for the delay in releasing the grants -- Tuesday's announcement came six months after Diana's death.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think people imagined that all money was sort of sitting, waiting to be spent the day after she died. It wasn't like that at all. We didn't actually know until sort of Christmas time, how much money we were likely to have. And of course when you don't know how much is in your pot, it's difficult to take decisions about spending."
SUPER CAPTION: Vivienne Parry, Diana Memorial Fund Trustee
Among the seven other groups to receive one (m) million pounds was the English National Ballet.
It will set up a help programme for dancers to deal with problems from injuries to nutrition as well as offering subsidies to aspiring young ballet performers.
Another of Diana's favourite causes -- London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for sick children -- benefited.
It will use the money to ensure parents from ethnic minorities and deprived parts of London get access to the right services for their children.
The Osteopathic Centre for Children was another one (m) million pound winner.
The Centre will put its money towards a new treatment centre.
Diana had been due to launch the charity's "Sweet Pea Appeal" to fund the new building last September.
Six-year-old cerebral palsy sufferer Laura Stanford -- who stood-in for the Princess at the appeal launch -- will be one of the many to benefit.
The people behind the grants believe this is just the start.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think if you're looking over the long term, I think the Fund could probably raise hundreds of millions of pounds -- an extraordinarily large sum."
SUPER CAPTION: Vivienne Parry, Diana Memorial Fund Trustee
Other causes the fund will support include a the establishment of a leprosy health education centre in Delhi; an HIV/AIDS awareness programme for Britain's youth; funding to help the young homeless in Britain; and a project to improve community cancer care in London.

(19 Aug 1998) English/Nat
One of the immediate consequences of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, was the instinctive reaction of many thousands of people to send money to Kensington Palace within hours of the announcement of her death.
The Diana Memorial Fund was hurriedly created to look after the (m) millions of pounds pouring in.
Last April, Dr Andrew Purkis was chosen to look after the Fund following months of damaging criticism about the way it was being run.
With the anniversary of the Princess's death approaching, he spoke to APTV about the controversies surrounding one of the most famous charities in the world.
The man charged with deciding how to spend 70 (m) million pounds (about 113 million U-S dollars) of donations in Diana's memory was plucked from the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury - where he was the spokesman for the Church of England's most senior figure.
Dr Andrew Purkis walked straight into a furious row.
There was widespread condemnation of a sponsorship venture which saw British supermarkets selling tubs of margarine bearing Princess Diana's name.
The use of the Fund's official logo on margarine tubs to promote the London Marathon provoked accusations that it was prepared to plumb any depths in order to raise money.
Dr Purkis feels this was a mistake that must never be repeated.
SOUNDBITE:
"You have to use that personalised signature with very great care. It is the logo of the Memorial Fund and it needs to look like a logo. If people think that you are using the personalised signature as such, to promote a mundane product, you will get a very vigorous reaction. I believe we've put all that far behind us now and it will never happen again."
SUPER CAPTION: Dr Andrew Purkis, Chief Executive Officer, Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund
The margarine tub idea was the brainchild of Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell.
He attained international recognition in the aftermath of the accident - toasted in Hollywood and attending glittering parties in London in her memory.
But his image was tarnished by the margarine deal.
And when Dr Purkis stepped into the breach, it was widely rumoured he was to be dropped - or at the very least sidelined as a trustee of the Fund.
Burrell may not have been pushed, but Dr Purkis makes it clear where in the decision-making process authority now firmly lies.
SOUNDBITE:
"I mean obviously as you'd expect, he has a boss - namely me - and we discuss things together but there's no question of his being sidelined. He has great gifts to offer and he is a very valuable member of the team."
SUPER CAPTION: Dr Andrew Purkis, Chief Executive Officer, Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund
The Fund has bitterly divided many of those close to Princess Diana.
One of the most outspoken critics was her brother.
Earl Spencer made plain in media leaks that he felt it should not only stop trading on his sister's name to raise money through selling products, but that it should close down altogether.
Dr Purkis says all that has now changed.
In fact, he claims the Earl - who has opened his family home to the public in Diana's memory - is now one of the Fund's strongest supporters.
SOUNDBITE:
"I have talked with him personally and had quite long telephone conversations and I'm clear that he is a supporter of the Fund, indeed he has made very generous arrangements for the Fund to receive the profits from the opening of Althorp."

17. Street scene, people including pregnant woman walking along pushing baby in a pushchair
STORYLINE:
A new range of luxury baby goods was unveiled in Tokyo on Thursday, bearing the name of Britain's late Diana, Princess of Wales.
The range promises to be a big hit in Japan where the legacy of the Princess is still revered.
Aprica Company, a leading Japanese producer of baby goods, will use the "Diana" brand for pushchairs, shoes and dresses for babies.
The products bear the Princess's signature and crest, and a proportion of the profits will go to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
The charitable fund was established after Diana's death in a Paris car crash in 1997 to channel the 34 (m) million US dollars worth of gifts donated during the outpouring of grief at her death.
The fund donates money to charitable organisations dealing with causes close to Diana's heart, especially those helping AIDS sufferers, the homeless and land mine victims.
Neither Aprica nor the Fund revealed what proportion of the profits would go to the fund.
When Princess Diana visited Japan in 1986, she became an instant social phenomenon. Women rushed to beauty salons for Diana haircuts and adopted her taste in clothes.
Aprica is optimistic that her name still sells, and has signed a three year contract with the Fund to produce items under the brand.

When Princess Diana visited Japan in 1986, she became an instant social phenomenon. Women rushed to beauty salons for Diana haircuts and adopted her taste in clothes.
Aprica is optimistic that her name still sells, and has signed a three year contract with the Fund to produce items under the brand.

Prince Harry and Prince William will split proceeds from Princess Diana's Memorial Fund. The royal brothers have reportedly decided to divide the money left in their late mom's posthumous initiative, which was originally established in the wake of her tragic death in 1997. The Diana Fund hadn't been actively fundraising for some time but is said to have received $27,000 in 2019. According to The Guardian, the princes came to an agreement last December about funneling the money into their respective charity ventures.

Tubs of margarine bearing Princess Diana's name, just a year after she died, were labelled "tacky" and "distasteful" after they were made in support of her Memorial Fund.
Her former butler Paul Burrell played a key role in the deal with Flora as part of its London Marathon fundraising effort.

The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex have agreed to split the future proceeds of their mother’s memorial fund between them as part of the separation of the brothers’ charitable activities.
An agreement was signed in December last year between the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the now abandoned Sussex Royal Foundation, according to financial documents.
It was agreed just under a month before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they intended to step back as senior members of the royal family and become financially independent.
The Royal Foundation’s report and consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019 said: “On 18 December 2019, an agreement was signed with the Sussex Royal Foundation by which The Royal Foundation intended to grant half of the net future proceeds received by the Diana Fund to Sussex Royal.

(22 Mar 1998) English/Nat
A secret bidder has paid 2.2 million dollars to take home the heart-shaped diamond and sapphire necklace inspired by the film "Titanic".
The diamond and sapphire necklace was auctioned in Los Angeles at the Princess Ball a charity event raising money for the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
The necklace will be worn by singer Celine Dion at the Oscars ceremony on Monday night.
Stars gathered for a Princess Diana fund-raiser to auction a replica of the heart-shaped necklace featured in "Titanic," - and to bid for other items that had belonged to the Princess.
Saturday's Princess Ball, with Angela Lansbury, John Travolta, Kelly Preston and Rupert Everett co-chairing the event, is part of a gala benefit for the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund and Aid for AIDS.
The event, held in the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, was the first official U-S tribute to the Princess sanctioned by her fund.
After the limousines finished dropping off their high-priced clients, and the dlrs five-hundred a plate meals eaten, the big show got under way.
With the lights down, Richard S. Wolf got the highly-anticipated auction underway.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Now we are about to prove that there is no free dinner. Even though you've pair five-hundred dollars for it. We have a number of items we're going to auction this evening. All of the proceeds will be going to the charities represented this evening and I expect you to bid often, to bid early, and let your generosity flow forth."
SUPER CAPTION: Richard S. Wolf, Auctioneer
The first item up for bid was of mostly sentimental value.
It was a blue oval box painted with the letter "D" and decorated with the Spencer family coronet.
Diana gave the box as a birthday gift to her butler, Paul Burrell.
Burrell, who was known as the princess' confidante who worked at Buckingham Palace for two decades, is the manager of the princess' memorial fund.
Bidding began sluggishly, as Wolf had trouble getting the audience to wave their hands in the air furiously if they wanted to make a bid.
But once the crowd got going, the box went for the hefty sum of dlrs six-thousand.
Between the cornerstone items were a number of package holiday which relived the Diana days.
The trips went from Los Angeles to London, New York and the British Virgin Islands, all favourite Diana destinations.
Some of the more classic items included photographs, and sketches of her wedding dress.
But the centre of attention when the diamond and sapphire replica of the costume necklace featured in the movie "Titanic" also was up for bids.
The original was donned by actress Kate Winslet and served as a symbolic thread of love and memory in the blockbuster hit.
Called "La Coeur de la Mer," or "Heart of the Ocean," the necklace created by Asprey of London features a 170-carat sapphire and diamond necklace valued at 3.5 (m) million dollars.
The marine-blue gem, culled from mines in Sri Lanka, is set in platinum and encased by a collection of 36 carats of diamonds.
Asprey London also created the costume necklace for the film, and bidding for the replica was expected to begin at 1.5 (m) million dollars.
It started lower, at 1million (m) and the eventual owner of the necklace looked to be getting a bargain.
The till started rising and crested at about dlrs 2 million (m) when two bidders were going neck and neck.
It was finally sold for dlrs 2.2 (m) million, the lucky bidder looks to have found himself a bargain by dlrs 1.3 (m) million.

(20 Mar 1998) English/Nat
Princess Diana's former butler made a rare public appearance on Friday in Beverly Hills.
Paul Burrell is helping the auction giant Sotheby's sell the real life Titanic necklace and mementos of Princess Diana in what's called the Princess Ball, a fundraising event in memory of the late British royal.
Saturday's event is expected to raise millions of dollars for the Diana, Princess of Wales, memorial fund and an aids charity, Aid for Aids.
On Friday, Sotheby's offered a sneak peek at the 'Titanic' necklace and other items to be auctioned off on Saturday at a fundraising event in Beverly Hills benefiting Princess Diana's memorial fund.
The Princess Ball, as the event is called, is the only event in the United States actually approved by the Diana, Princess of Wales, Memorial Fund.
Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, has been named chief fundraiser for the trust that aims to carry on Diana's legacy by funding causes associated with the Princess during her lifetime.
Funds raised will go to Diana, Princess of Wales, memorial fund and an aids charity, Aid for Aids.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
'Good morning everybody, I'm delighted to be with you to represent the Trustees of the Diana, Princess of Wales, Memorial fund.'
SUPER CAPTION: Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler
Burrell seemed pleased that Americans are honouring the late princess, whose popularity was very high in the U-S.
Although Americans in general weren't as devastated as the British when Princess Diana died, there was an outpouring of sadness and support for her.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
'This is America's first tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales.'
SUPER CAPTION: Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler
The auction's big item is the Coeur de la Mer diamond necklace inspired by the Titanic movie and could fetch millions of dollars in the auction.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
'Asprey's wonderfully talented craftsmen have created a masterpiece, La Coeur de la Mer. The auction of which will be the highlight of tomorrow evening.'
SUPER CAPTION: Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler
Burrell seemed particularly emotional when he was talking about the present Princess Diana gave him.
It's a box with the Princess cypher and the Britain's national flowers.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
'There is just one more thing. A tiny little box, just there, you might miss. It was a personal gift to me from the Princess of Wales, and it comes with every good wish and my sincere hope that it will raise an enormous amount for these two extremely worthwhile and exceptional causes.'
SUPER CAPTION: Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler
Media interest seemed very high in not only the auction, but in the items which will be sold.
The Titanic necklace also received a lot of media attention.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The connection and the synergy between the memorial trust and the film and our involvement in both really stems from our wish to benefit the trust from the sale of this piece and we are delighted to do that. It is benefiting two wonderful charities the, of course, the Memorial fund and Aid for Aids.

(13 Dec 1998) English/Nat
According to certain British newspaper reports, Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, has been ditched by the fund set up after her death to handle the (m) millions of pounds donated in her memory.
Burrell, who was referred to by Diana as her "rock" and was appointed events and fund-raising manager in March this year, has allegedly been told to clear his desk after Christmas.
The chairman of the fund, Dr Andrew Purkis, has strenuously denied the reports and has said Paul Burrell remains a valuable member of staff.
The stories appeared in two national tabloid newspapers and report that Paul Burrell had been dismissed from the fund.
The News of the World reported that the former butler of Princess Diana was sacked on Tuesday during a lunch meeting with fund solicitor Anthony Julius and one of Diana's sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale.
Burrell was allegedly ordered to clear his desk after Christmas.
The Mail On Sunday reported that a close friend of the former butler said Burrell was "deeply upset" and felt his loyalty had been "thrown back in his face."
Burrell has been the public face of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund since it was launched shortly after her death in a Paris car crash last year.
The Fund strenuously denies his ousting and says that his work within it might simply soon change.
It is understood that since the Fund was not intended to be a charity which received a large number of donations in the long run, Burrell, who is predominantly seen as a fund-raiser, could soon be given a new role.
The question of Burrell's role in the organisation has cropped up on many occasions in the past, with the Fund's Chief Executive always strenuously denying he would be ditched.
Speaking in August, Dr Andrew Purkis dismissed rumours that Burrell might be on the way out, but made it clear who was the boss.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I mean obviously as you'd expect, he has a boss - namely me - and we discuss things together but there's no question of his being sidelined. He has great gifts to offer and he is a very valuable member of the team"
SUPER CAPTION: Dr Andrew Purkis, Chief Executive, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund
Since it was established, the Fund has raised 85 (m) million pounds -- the equivalent of 143 (m) million dollars.
Burrell had been responsible for some fund-raising projects for the Memorial Fund which many regarded as tacky and demeaning to the memory of the Princess.
Dr Purkis has branded the newspaper reports as "malicious rumours.......intended to do damage".
If Paul Burrell -- Diana's friend and confidante -- has indeed been ditched by the Fund, it's sure to prove an unpopular decision with those who hold her memory dear to their hearts.
