When Princess Diana flew to Pakistan in May 1997, she went to meet the family of Dr. Hasnat Khan, the man she wanted to marry. One of the most famous and beautiful women in the word, she hoped to persuade Dr. Khan's mother that she would make a suitable wife for her son. Had she succeeded, the events of that summer might have been very different. Using powerful testimony from some of Diana's closest friends as well as members of Dr. Khan's family who grew to know and love Diana, this book gives a unique insight into Diana's world and a thorough interpretation of events central to the last years of her life. It explains how Dr. Khan, a dedicated doctor and a very private man, found himself thrust into the spotlight, and how when he broke off their relationship, Diana sought every means at her disposal to win him back. Putting all the events of the final months of Diana's life into context, the author brings the story to a proper and full conclusion.

From the Publisher:

Diana—Her Last Love is an account of the late Princess of Wales’ relationship with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan. It discloses how they met at a London hospital, and how, for the last two years of Diana’s life, they managed to keep their affair largely secret. Placing the story in context with the whole of Diana’s life, author Kate Snell looks at Diana’s fascination with Islam and the East. She also pieces together evidence suggesting that when Dr. Khan broke off their relationship, Diana planned several strategies to win him back, including using the media and Dodi Fayed to make the doctor jealous. The details of how Diana deliberately orchestrated the photos and news stories of her romance with Mr. Fayed will interest many readers, but at the heart of the story is a sensitive and believable portrait of a woman who wished to be loved for herself.
