Khan has rarely spoken about his relationship with Diana. Despite their then-recent breakup, he still attended Diana’s funeral in September 1997. That was the last time they spoke before her death, Khan said. He had money and could provide the necessary security for her,” Khan recalled in 2008. “I think that Diana finally realized that Al Fayed could give her all the things I could not. Tropez with Mohamed Fayed-after which she’s believed to have struck up a romance with his son, Dodi.


Khan said that Diana called things off in July 1997, mere weeks before her death and shortly after she had returned from a vacation to St. Sadly, the relationship ended before they ever got to that point. I knew I would not be able to live a normal life, and if we ever had children together, I would not be able to take them anywhere or do normal things with them.” “My main concern about us getting married was that my life would be hell because of who she was. “Although we did talk about marriage, we did not make a point of sitting down and discussing the specifics,” he said. Khan verified Burrell’s account about Diana’s inquiries, but he was seemingly less set on tying the knot. In his own 2008 testimony, Diana’s butler, Paul Burrell, said the princess had asked him to look into arranging a “private marriage” for her and Khan. Their relationship was “very good,” with “no personal problems,” he said, adding, “The only problem we did have was with the media, and the only place we could have any real privacy was at Kensington Palace, as they could not get to us there.” Diana traveled with her boyfriend to meet his family in Pakistan in 1996, and Khan testified in a 2008 statement that he had met Princes William and Harry.

Over the course of the next two years, the pair became increasingly close.
