A Kennedy-crazed Princess Diana was obsessed with becoming America's first lady - and plotted to use her torrid affair with a mysterious, older, New York billionaire to pull off the sensational scheme, the tragic royal's butler reveals in his explosive new book. "She had it all dreamed out in her head - how she would redecorate the presidential apartment and become 'the new Jackie O,' " Paul Burrell writes in "The Way We Were: Remembering Diana," which hit bookstores yesterday.
Despite persistent rumors, Diana never had an affair with John F. Kennedy Jr., whom she considered intellectually challenged, Burrell scoffs.
Instead, "she had built up an exceptionally close relationship with a politically well-connected billionaire" - a silver-haired, 50-something, Manhattan bachelor she met at Wimbledon in 1994 - and the princess "felt that he was capable of running for office," the ex-servant asserts.
"With me beside him and him beside me, how could we fail?" the ex-servant says a starry-eyed Diana told him.
"She'd been a huge fan of Jackie Onassis for years and a huge admirer of Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton, too. But Jackie Onassis

Maybe, but only IF you believe this crap.
Oh, please ... as dim as she was?
I don't believe a word of this. I think Burrell is making it all up.
Bless, Diana's heart: She was a good-looking clothes horse who married the wrong guy.
It's still a sad story, though.

God, I'm sick of this DItz. I don't believe in royalty.

I've never heard of Bryan Adams. His hair looks fake.
Good verbage!
I think you're right, though ... famous-name-dropping, secret lovers, nothing provable or disprovable ... lots of people will buy it.
She married the WRONG GUY????? Oh my...for some, being a freaking PRINCESS, getting to do all the good works you want and being loved and adored by millions would be enough. But no, she wanted to be LOVED. Reminds me of the scene in the Movie Arthur where Arthur is whining about not having love in his life, and his Butler removes his hat and slaps him across the face saying something like, You think you're the only one who has no love? You're a spoiled brat. That's what she was, not only that, but a tramp to boot.
I am no fan of "Di" at all, but this Burrell character is just making stuff up to sell books at this point.
Jim McGreevey?
And I thought it was John Kerry who wanted to be Jackie.
Bill Clinton wants to be both Jack and Jackie.
I'm beginning to wonder if there was a semi-celebrity she DIDN'T have an affair with. Yeesh. I mean, OK, billionaires, princes, that's one thing. But Bryan Adams??

I sincerely doubt that she was ever mistaken for a brain surgeon,that's for sure.
My word, Hildy, please tell us what you think! :)
Can we please just let this woman rest in peace.
