Inside the love story of Hasnat Khan and Princess Diana
In 1995, just before her famous Panorama interview, Princess Diana had a secret love affair with Dr. Hasnat Khan, a heart surgeon at the Royal Brompton Hospital. Their romance began after Diana visited the hospital, where she was drawn to Khan’s charm. Despite their different backgrounds—Diana, a princess, and Khan, a smoking, late-night jazz lover—they shared a deep connection. To keep the relationship private, Diana used the alias “Dr. Armani” and they met in secret locations.
The romance grew serious, with Diana introducing Khan to her sons and even considering marriage, despite their cultural differences. Friends described Khan as the love of Diana’s life, but the relationship eventually ended, leaving Diana heartbroken.
