The summer she died, Princess Diana told a friend there was exactly one person in her life who would never sell her out. Twenty-nine years and a lot of money later, he still hasn't. Pretty much everyone else around her cashed in. Her butler sold his story to a tabloid for a reported £300,000, and the army officer she'd loved tried to sell her love letters for £10 million. That was James Hewitt. Back in 2003 he had 64 letters from her, a lot of them written while he was off at the Gulf War, and Diana had reportedly once asked him to burn them. He'd already helped with Princess in Love in 1994, a whole book about their affair that came out while she was alive to read it. Nobody ever paid the £10 million. By that September the best offer was £600,000, and in 2024 the letters were reportedly being shopped to a US auction house for up to $1 million after he'd put them up as collateral on a loan. The one she trusted was Hasnat Khan, a heart surgeon. They met on August 27, 1995. He can still tell you it was a bank holiday Monday and she'd come in to visit one of his patients. Her biographer Christopher Andersen says she'd throw on a dark wig and sunglasses to sneak into the hospital and watch him operate. She flew to Lahore to meet his family. She even had her butler ask a priest whether the two of them could get married, and Khan confirmed that himself years later. He could also see what marrying her would cost him. Strangers mailed him cut-out photos of himself with a noose drawn around his neck. He believes his voicemails were being hacked as early as 1996. In his statement to the inquest, he said life with her would have been hell for him because of who she was. They split up in the summer of 1997. A few weeks later she died in Paris, and he went to the funeral. Then the Diana business really took off. Paul Burrell's memoir sold over two million copies, and William and Harry called it "a cold and overt betrayal." An independent inquiry found in 2021 that Martin Bashir got his famous Panorama interview by showing her brother faked bank statements. Khan wouldn't talk to the author who wrote a whole book about the two of them, and he says he never read it. When the producers of the 2013 Naomi Watts movie made it sound like he'd given them his blessing, he called that a complete lie. The handful of times he's spoken up, it was to defend her. He said Bashir took the exact thing the public loved about her, how vulnerable she was, and used it against her. What she told her friend that summer was simple. "Everybody sells me out. Hasnat is the one person who will never sell me out." He's been offered plenty since, and he's turned every bit of it down.
