<title>Princess Diana's ‘Mr Wonderful’ breaks silence on their relationship

January 13, 2008

Diana shook up the British monarchy and speeded its modernization. She helped to tear down prejudices about AIDS. She raised awareness of eating disorders. She coalesced opposition to land mines. These are pretty hefty achievements for a woman of little education who mocked herself for being "thick as a plank." Add to these a more dubious accomplishment — her skillful manipulation of media images — and it's clear why, a decade after her death, Diana remains an inescapable presence in British life: mostly, but not always, benign; a restless and seductive ghost. It's time to peer into the many corners she still haunts.

THE heart surgeon regarded by many as Princess Diana’s greatest love has broken his silence about his affair with “the people's princess”.

Hasnat Khan, nicknamed “Mr Wonderful” by Diana, spoke out to dispel rumours he would be attending her inquest.

Diana was 'devious, slow and disturbingly neurotic,' mocks Germaine Greer
Feminist Germaine Greer has caused outrage in Australia for calling the late Princess of Wales, "slow", "devious" and "disturbingly neurotic".

Greer claims Diana 'only went to Paris with Dodi Fayed (right) in order to make heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (left) jealous'
The controversial academic claims Diana is partly responsible for the car accident that killed her almost a decade ago - by initiating a love triangle between herself, Dodi Fayed and heart surgeon Hasnat Khan.

"The saddest thought of all is that Diana's death may have resulted indirectly from another of her kack-handed manipulations; it is said that she only went to Paris with (her late lover) Dodi Fayed in order to make heart surgeon Hasnat Khan jealous," writes Greer in an essay published in Weekend Australian Magazine.

Diana was 36 when she was killed along with Fayed and chauffeur Henri Paul when their Mercedes crashed in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris in August 31, 1997.

Feminist Germaine Greer is scathing about the late Princess of Wales
Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Greer further ridicules Diana's intelligence, referring to her childhood nickname of 'Brian' which her siblings called her - "after the dopey snail on The Magic Roundabout on children's TV.

"Of the four Spencer children, Diana was the slowest. Because of her slowness, she was easily found out in her preposterous fibs."

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant takes another episode from Diana's childhood to illustrate her "devious" nature, when she allegedly persuaded a younger school friend to write a poison pen letter to her father's second wife (Lady Raine Spencer).

"Apparently she didn't have the courage to write her own letter...in adulthood Diana became more, rather than less devious.

"The same foolhardiness was at work not only in Diana's sexual adventures but also in her orchestration of her public persona," says Greer.

As for Diana's fashion icon status, Greer dismisses her 'nondescript' sartorial choices as comparable to that of female TV newsreaders.

"Diana was never a fashion icon; she dressed to the same demotic standard of elegance as TV anchorwomen do, plus the inevitable hat.

"It is precisely because she was basically anonymous that Diana's public could so easily identify her."

Lastly, Greer dismisses Diana's 'Queen of Hearts' reputation and accuses her of "rushing into too many situations in which genuine angels would have feared to tread".

"Her habit of popping up in the midst of other people's life crises must have startled some of her victims.

"Diana's legacy is no more than endless column inches of adulation and speculation," adds Greer.

Still fond of his former lover a decade later, Khan, 48, said he was wary of attempts to destroy her reputation and praised her humanitarian work. However, he said the Diana memorial fountain in Kensington Gardens was not a fitting tribute.

He said: “I found her a very normal person with great qualities. I think she did great work all over the world not just for the UK but for everyone. That is very important.

“She did a lot of work. She got to where she was on what she was. She didn’t just shake hands or wave at people; she actually did things. Now she has gone, there is a huge vacuum. She has left a gap.

“Anywhere in the world a figure who is so famous becomes controversial. But at the end of the day I think she was a very normal person and she did her work very well, raising the kids and everything else. That’s the truth.”

He added: “My feelings are that creating a fountain is not at all near how you can remember a great person. You put great people up as high as possible. Look at Nelson. Look at Queen Victoria.

“Historically great humans aren’t remembered like that. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had statues and they are still there. They weren’t remembered by a little fountain.”

After a failed arranged marriage, which ended two months ago, Khan admitted he was still plagued by memories of Diana. “Sometimes I feel like screaming. There have been very bad times. I have moved on, but it keeps coming back.”

The cardiologist, who met Diana in 1995 shortly before her Panorama television interview, declined to talk in detail about their relationship.

“If I had said some things about her before 1997 she could have responded, but since she is not here it would be very unfair to make a comment about her.”

However, he has confided to his father that cultural differences would have destroyed any marriage within a year.

Khan, a Muslim, told his family: “She is from Venus and I am from Mars. If it ever happened, it would be like a marriage from two different planets.”

The couple met when Diana visited a friend at the Royal Brompton hospital, in west London, where Khan worked. They conducted a secret romance, helped by her butler, Paul Burrell, and Khan’s family.

Diana visited Pakistan several times, and the couple had secret trysts at the home of Khan’s uncle in Stratford-upon-Avon. The princess met Khan’s extended family during her 1996 visit to Pakistan, where she wore a traditional shalwar kameez out of respect for their faith.

“She really enjoyed her time when she came here,” Khan said. “She also enjoyed the afternoon tea she had with my family. And I think she very much liked the Asian family’s eccentric culture.”

Khan ended their affair soon after the relationship was discovered, leaving the princess distraught.

He spoke out this weekend because of speculation he might attend the Diana inquest.

“If it’s within the law for the coroner to ask me, I will attend. However, the advice I have been given is that I cannot be called if I am overseas,” he said.

Problems and separation

In the late 1980s, the marriage of Diana and Charles fell apart, an event at first suppressed, then sensationalised, by the world media. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales allegedly spoke to the press through friends, each blaming the other for the marriage's demise. Charles resumed his old, pre-marital affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, while Diana had an affair with her riding instructor, James Hewitt. She later confirmed the affair with Hewitt in a television interview with Martin Bashir for the BBC programme Panorama. Charles had confirmed his own affair over a year earlier in a televised interview with Jonathan Dimbleby. Although no charges were ever considered, adultery with the Queen consort or Princess of Wales has been high treason for both parties in England at least since the Treason Act 1351.

Diana was also alleged to have had a relationship with James Gilbey, her telephone partner in the so-called Squidgygate affair. Another supposed lover was her detective/bodyguard Barry Mannakee, who was assigned to the Princess's security detail, although the Princess adamantly denied a sexual relationship with him. After her separation from Prince Charles, she was said to have become involved with the married art dealer Oliver Hoare, to whom she admitted making numerous telephone calls, and with the rugby player Will Carling. Other men rumoured to have been her lovers, both before and after her divorce, included the property developer Christopher Whalley, the banker Philip Waterhouse, the singer Bryan Adams, and John F. Kennedy, Jr.. There is little evidence to support the idea that her relationships with these men were anything more than friendships.[6]

The Prince and Princess of Wales were separated on 9 December 1992, by which time her relations with some of the Royal Family, excepting the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, were difficult

Divorce

Their divorce was finalized on 28 August 1996.

Diana received a lump sum settlement of around £17,000,000 along with a legal order preventing her from discussing the details.

Days before the decree absolute of divorce, Letters Patent were issued by Queen Elizabeth II containing general rules to regulate the titles of people who married into the Royal Family after divorce. In accordance with those rules, as she was no longer married to the Prince of Wales, and so had ceased to be a Royal by-marriage, Diana lost the title, Her Royal Highness and instead was called, Diana, Princess of Wales'.

Buckingham Palace stated that Diana was still officially a member of the Royal Family, since she was the mother of the second- and third-in-line to the throne. This was confirmed by the Deputy Coroner of the Queen’s Household, Baroness Butler-Sloss, who after a pre-hearing on 8 January 2007 ruled that: "I am satisfied that at her death, Diana, Princess of Wales continued to be considered as a member of the Royal Household." This appears to have been confirmed in the High Court judicial review matter of Al Fayed & Ors v Butler-Sloss. In that case, three High Court judges accepted submissions that the "very name ‘Coroner to the Queen’s Household’ gave the appearance of partiality in the context of inquests into the deaths of two people, one of whom was a member of the Royal Family and the other was not.

Princess Diana Predicted Her Own Assassination

Paul Joseph Watson

British newspapers today broke the astounding story of how Princess Diana wrote that she would be killed in an incident made to look like a car accident ten months before her death.

The princess predicted: “This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous.” She said "XXXXXXXXXXX is planning ‘an accident’ in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry”.

The blanked out 'xxxxxxx' is very likely to be MI5/MI6, who also recently did the dirty work of finishing off David Kelly.

When Paul Burrell, Diana's former butler first hit the headlines last year I knew he still had something to say about Diana's death. It was likely that Burrell sought to wrap himself in as much publicity as possible to protect himself against a similar fate.

Of course we've known for years that Diana's death couldn't have been anything but an assassination.

- The unscheduled journey through the symbolic Pont de L'Alma tunnel (an ancient Pagan sacrificial site) took Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed AWAY FROM their intended destination, Dodi's flat.

- Just before the car entered the tunnel every police radio in Paris mysteriously died, preventing a quick response which could have saved Diana's life.

- Just before the car entered the tunnel every security camera in the tunnel mysteriously died, preventing us from ever seeing footage of what caused the crash.

- Eyewitnesses reported snipers and gunfire within the tunnel.

These are just a few snippets from a mountain of evidence that this was an old-school hit.

Diana was killed because she was pregnant with Dodi's child and the British Royal Family didn't want an Arab in their sacred bloodline. Diana herself remarked to reporters that there would be 'a big surprise' from her a few days before her death.

US Spy Tapes Reveal Diana Was Pregnant

by GORDON THOMAS

EXPLOSIVE tapes on the secret life of Princess Diana will prove that she was pregnant and intended to marry Dodi Al Fayed, it was claimed last night.

American secret agents regularly monitored Diana's conversations and collated 1,000 secret documents using its "spy in the sky", the National Security Agency.

They were obtained by its Echelon satellite surveillance system and contain highly sensitive material including her marriage plans, her views on Prince Philip, who was known to be highly critical of her, and new details of her love affair with James Hewitt. Now, lawyers acting for Mohamed Al Fayed are trying to obtain the tapes through America's Freedom of Information Act.

They hope to present the evidence at Diana's inquest, which is expected to take place next year.

The covert monitoring was controlled from the ultra-secret NSA base at Menwith Hill in the north of England during the last weeks of Diana's affair with Dodi.

A spokesman for Dodi's father, Mohamed Al Fayed, the millionaire owner of Harrods, said: "Mr Al Fayed believes that those intercepts will reveal conversations in which Princess Diana discussed her engagement to Dodi and her pregnancy.

--------------------------------

Of course, this wasn't the only reason. Diana was a painful thorn in the side of the elitists with her ability to take any issue and immediately bring it to the forefront of public attention. In a way she was like David Kelly, a disgruntled former employee who knew too much and had too big a chip on her shoulders to be tolerated.

I look forward to the long-awaited inquest and further revelations from the brave Paul Burrell to further destroy the establishment media's wild and unsusbstantiated theory that Diana's death was an accident caused by a drunk driver.

The three-year British investigation into Diana's death — the first step in order to begin an official inquest — concludes with the release of an 800-page report that finds the crash was a "tragic accident," says Lord Stevens.

March 6
The British coroner, retired High Court judge Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, postpones the inquest until October after Mohamed Al Fayed requests an extension to prepare his case. Butler-Sloss had said she had not been presented "any shred of evidence" to back up Al Fayed's claims. The millionaire's lawyer begged to disagree.

April 24
Butler-Sloss announces her resignation from the inquest, saying that Lord Justice Scott Baker would eventually take over from her because she lacked experience in jury trials. Butler-Sloss made clear that the inquest would not need to start over and she would continue to handle the pre-Inquest proceedings until her successor came aboard.

May 16
A lawyer for Mohamed Al Fayed asks for the Queen to provide testimony. Al Fayed's team, which has already requested Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh give evidence, wants the Queen to clarify a comment Burrell says she made to him about the "powers that may be at work" in regards to Diana's death. Butler-Sloss says such a request is unheard of and may be a "constitutional matter."

June 13
Lord Justice Scott Baker takes over from Butler-Sloss.

July 27
As part of the pre-inquest hearings, Lord Justice Scott Baker sets out a list of 20 "likely issues" to be brought up at the hearing. They range from Henri Paul's level of inebriation to the culpability of a Fiat Uno and the actions of the paparazzi as well as "whether the Princess of Wales was pregnant" and if "the Princess of Wales feared for her life." It also mentioned such minutiae as the theft of digital photographs — including shots from the accident scene — from the London home of Lionel Cherruault the night after the princess died.
