Thank you Al bina. I've read the article and I think Dr Khan gave a very balanced, respectful and humble interview. I believe his opinion of her work and how she should be remembered is something many of us share.
And yet there are many reports of her obsessive behaviour regarding Khan, which he seems to have forgotten about now. Although he hasn't spoken to the press before, he puts me in mind of Hewitt and their relationships with Diana seem to have taken the same course.I feel Diana, Princess of Wales when truly in love might not show her troubled side to a lover, because she was content at that time with a lover's love.
If that was the case, why did she break up with him? Could it possibly have been Diana liked the thrill of the chase but not the reality of the catch? Perhaps Diana ended the relationship with him for the same reasons as his wife.
I think that as we have heard so little about his ex wife, it would be hard to judge. For all we know he had some revolting habits she could not live with, the age gap may have been too great. We of course also have no idea how innocent she was, so it seems a little distasteful to suggest otherwise.
But was she devastated because she had ended the affair? It could have been that people would have been more sympathetic when told he had broken up with her, and Diana had been playing the victim card for some time. We also have the troubling reports that his family had said the match was not suitable.
Apart from Diana, who would know better?
'Good' girls? This young woman may have been waiting for the right arrangement to be made for her by her parents. Perhaps her parents are forward thinking individuals who allowed their daughter to study and have a life before shackling her to, what they thought, was the right man. You said she was not a young innocent girl, even in the western world age does not denote innocence or lack thereof.
Yes, it is a difficult one but Diana didn't seem to tell the same whole story to her friends. Having met, to her mind, disapproval from Charles' family, perhaps she didn't want to go through anything where she was not 100% accepted. I know from friends that are from Pakistan that lack of parental approval has ended many a romance, in fact some of them report how they 'saw him/her off'!
I do not wish to start yet another useless debate about the cultural things. I stand by my opinion.
I thought that apart from the inquest, this was the only interview he had given?

I have read through his interview a couple of times and it would appear that words have been attributed to him that he did not in fact say, however this was funny - taken from his only interview
Can you imagine a grown man, presumably in a suit, climbing in to the luggage compartment of an ordinary saloon car. I don't believe we are talking about an Audi here, probably a Ford Escort or something along those lines. He would have to have 'folded' himself with great care as most 'boots' were not very big. Imagining how he would go about it made me laugh.
Sad that they had to meet so secretively to have a relationship.
