Princess Diana was deeply in love with Pakistani surgeon Hasnat Khan and wanted to marry him, her close friend Jemima Khan has revealed.
Khan who was previously the wife of Hasnat’s distant cousin legendary cricketer Imran Khan, told Vanity Fair that she was so interested in getting married that she was ready to live in Pakistan, ABC News reported.
Jemima said that Diana twice visited Pakistan to fundraise for Imran’s hospital; but she was also there to secretly discuss marriage to Hasnat.
The socialist turned journalist said that Diana had wanted to know how hard it had been for Jemima to adapt to life in Pakistan.
Jemima said that Diana had also wanted her advice on how to deal with Pakistani men and their cultural baggage.
The former Princess of Wales even spent time with Hasnat’s family while seeking the approval of his mother.
Ultimately, Diana’s global fame proved just too much for the couple’s relationship. (ANI)
