"If I put it politely, you are all over the place," Mansfield told Burrell after running through conflicting evidence he gave to the court.
Burrell, bleary-eyed after just two hours' sleep, returned to court after making a 400-mile round trip to his house in northern England to retrieve so-called "secret" documents requested by the coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker.
But, after reviewing the documents that included letters from Diana, Scott Baker told Burrell: "Having examined the matter, it doesn't seem to me they are secret at all."
Burrell, giving his second day of testimony, said: "I am constantly wracking my brains to find the right answer."
Confessing to confusion at trying to remember a lifetime of memories, Burrell said: "Quite frankly, it's been horrid. It's been quite disgraceful actually ... I didn't expect it to go to such depths."
Al-Fayed alleges that his son and Diana were killed by British security services on the orders of Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's husband and Diana's former father-in-law.
Fayed believes her killing was ordered because the royal family did not want the mother of the future king having a child with his son. He alleges that Diana's body was embalmed to cover up evidence she was expecting a baby.
