Product Description

Product Description

When it was first published in 2000 the content of this book was deemed so controversial that that ITV nearly decided not to broadcast the documentary that accompanied it. Five years later, there is still a huge interest in the life of the People's Princess. This book is established as one of the definitive works on her life. Diana - Her Last Love is the untold, controversial story of her relationship with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan. It reveals 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. Khan unlike anyone else the Princess had ever met, and his desire to alleviate suffering, created a deep bond between them. In the words of Diana's confidant, Imran Khan, he was 'the man' and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Putting the story in context with the rest of Diana's life, author Kate Snell shows how the Princess's fascination with Islam can be dated back to 1990 and how she would have converted if she could win the heart of Hasnat. She also pieces together the evidence to argue that, when Hasnat finally broke off their relationship, Diana planned several strategies to win him back. The book reveals how Imran Khan agreed to try to persuade Hasnat to think again and, more daringly, how she decided to use the media and Dodi Fayed to make the doctor jealous. Using powerful fresh testimony from some of her closest friends, Diana - Her Last Love gives a unique insight into Diana's world and a new interpretation of events central to the last years of her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Different Perspective!, 6 Jan 2004
Most of the Diana books I have read have been complimentary on Diana to the point where they reveal nothing but the authors admiration of her. Kate Snell seems to have approached Diana from a perspective of being totally honest and, therefore, revealing the human aspects of Diana without her own personal opinions clouding the facts. In places this book is so honest about the human side of Diana that it reveals her behaviour which could at times be cruel, selfish and calculating. In contrast, I found the Paul Burrell book quite cloying, clouded, one-sided and it revealed very little! The story of Diana and Hasnat is probably one of the greatest love tragedies of all time, but little was known of it until now. Dodi has been given far too much credit as being her 'last love' and this book totally blows that claim out of the water. Until now, nobody probably realised that Hasnat was such an important figure in Diana's life, mostly due to the fact that he is a private man who has courted no publicity whatsoever since her death. One thing this book does make you think is that Hasnat, wherever he is now, has probably had to live with a massive burden of guilt since Diana's death. It seems 100% certain that, had Hasnat not ended the relationship, Diana would never have been in Paris with Dodi that night.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most sensitively written book so far about Diana, 8 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Diana: Her Last Love (Hardcover)
This is the most sensitively written book so far about Princess Diana, showing her as a complete and whole person seen through the eyes of her different friends. This tells the story of her last love, Dr. Hasnat Khan, a heart surgeon and a great man, whom most people will never have heard of, but who gave Diana true happiness in the last two years of her life. This book is 100% factual. Dr. Khan was Diana's last love with whom she found this pleasurable experience reciprocated for the first time in her life without any affectations.

This is definitely a book to be read by all seeking the truth about Diana's final years and who want to read the detailed facts of one of the greatest love stories kept under wraps until now.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read for anyone who read the papers, 31 Jul 2002
By Christine Medway (Derbyshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diana: Her Last Love (Hardcover)
At first I was dubious about reading this book, suspecting it to be yet another text riding on the waves of media sensationalism for profit. I was pleasantly surprised.

This is no gossip plug. Rather it is a somewhat unforeseen account of Diana's life, written with due sensitivity and respect. Using some of her closest confidents, this book exposes a very different image of Diana to the one many of us have gained from media representation, particularly in accounts leading up to her death. It not only highlights the context behind some of the much publicised pain that Diana experienced in her life, but also shows how, despite all, this woman was able to maintain some strengths. What a terrible shame that, being happy with the man she loved was made so difficult by her fame, and as things could have become easier she had to meet such an untimely end.
