Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's butler, was also her close friend and confidant. In an interview after the princess died, Burrell spoke about how Diana felt humiliated after Charles admitted his infidelity to the press. The evening that Charles' interview aired, Diana was scheduled to appear at the annual Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, and nearly did not go. According to Burrell, he talked her into going and chose a very sexy black dress for her to wear with a diamond choker as a way to tell the world that she was not going to be humiliated. Their duet "The Dress" is a direct reference to this conversation.
