LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Princess Diana's former butler is to meet her two sons over Christmas to explain why he wrote an intimate book about their dead mother, the Daily Express newspaper reported.

In October butler-turned-author Paul Burrell ignored an unprecedented plea from Princes William and Harry and went ahead with the publication of "A Royal Duty," which delves into Diana's personal life, the break up of her marriage with Prince Charles and her private correspondence.

"I am definitely going to see them. My solicitor, Andrew Shaw, is arranging everything," Burrell told the Daily Express.

"I am looking forward to meeting both William and Harry on a one-one basis. We have much to talk about. I want to explain to them why I wrote the book.

"I also want to outline to them what I did not write about and my reasons for keeping silent on those matters."
