In 1995, Princess Diana began a secret romance with Dr. Hasnat Khan, a heart surgeon she met during a hospital visit. Their bond grew quickly as Diana pursued him, finding joy and connection after her separation from Prince Charles. Despite their differences—Diana’s royal status and Khan’s private life—they shared laughter, late-night outings, and plans for the future, even considering marriage and relocating to Pakistan.
However, the intense media scrutiny took its toll. While Diana sought public acknowledgment, Khan feared its impact on his career. Their love story ended in July 1997, just weeks before Diana’s tragic death alongside Dodi Fayed. Though brief, their relationship remains a poignant chapter in Diana’s life, marked by genuine affection and the complexities of love under public pressure.
