i always liked this man because he is one of the few, if not the only one, that has never spoken to the media about his relationship with her.

wishing him the best.

I have always thought that it was he that Diana really loved when she died. I am glad that he has found happiness and I wish him good luck .

The best man that Diana ever had in her life. He respected her and loved her very much. But unfortunately it didn't work, was it Diana's fault, it has been said she was too possessive?

Does anyone have a picture of Dr. Khan? I don't think I've seen one of him before. Thanks!

Wow, I am surprised. For one, I swear I read somewhere a few years ago that Khan had agreed to some sort of arranged marriage. Did anyone else remember this/see this?

The other reaction I had, was : perhaps it is a lucky thing that Diana isn't around to hear this news. She would have been so devastated; this man might well have been the love of her life. It is said he broke it off with her over two things:
--the fact she was a spotlight hound, and he loathed publicity and the circus around her
--the fact his parents much opposed the union: Diana wasn't muslim, she was caucatian, and divorced to boot. They are said to haven't thought Diana a good match fr their son, princess or not.

After he (was said to have) broke up with Diana, she started that ill-fated fling with Dodi Fayed, some say to show Khan a lesson, to win him back..

Again, if Diana had still been with us, she would have had to witness Khan's marrying a much younger girl, who is Afghan royalty even!

Quoting from thepeople.co.uk:
"Dr Hasnat Khan, 46, wed stunning Hadia Sher Ali, 28 - a descendant of Afghan royalty - in a lavish ceremony in Jhelum, Pakistan."

There's a couple here:

The Late Princess Diana

Thanks! He's very good looking. It seems he also has class and didn't cash in on Diana's death, as others did.

Well good for him...hopefully its a love match cause thats quite an age difference.

Seriously..if Camilla and Charles are entitled to some happiness, isn't he? And yes, its great that he has never spoken about his relationship with Diana. That shows some class and affection for her on his part IMO.

Little_star · #10 05-16-2006, 08:30 AM

The wedding was in Jhelum, well, not much to say to that really.

I hope the couple are happy together.

msleiman · #11 05-16-2006, 11:47 AM

I hope that they are very happy together. It seems like he is only one of a few people that was a true friend to the princess. I sure that she would be happy that he is finally finding happiness .

Squidgy · #12 05-16-2006, 07:48 PM

I think Diana showed a rare good judgement in men when she entered into a relationship with Hasnat. He does really seem like such a decent man - someone with a bit of integrity. I'm sure he could retire a rich man if he chose to sell his memoirs, but to his credit he is one of the few people in Diana's life who has chosen NOT to go that route.

I can't help wondering what path Diana's life would have taken if their relationship would have worked out???

Katemac63 · #13 05-17-2006, 07:50 AM

I am happy for the doctor and his bride. I hope he is happy and they have a lasting loving relationship.:)

The gentleman never said a word about DIana to the press . He will always be remembered for that.:) :)

I think it was only James Hewitt that ever told his story.

I don't recall any other of her male friends coming forward. Regarding Carling, I believe it was his wife the went to the press! I don't think there was anything between them anyway...:)

Julia Carling did indeed go to the media and made accusatory remarks about her husband's relationship with Princess Diana. Some said she did it as much to promote her own image as to get a bit of her own back with her husband.

I wish Hasnat Khan well. I respect him very much for never sharing a single thought about the late Princess with anyone. His behavior has been beyond reproach and I hope he has found happiness.
