A new profile on Princess Diana by Vanity Fair reveals the late Princess was deeply in love with a low profile heart surgeon from Pakistan, Hasnat Khan. Jemima Khan was a friend of Princess Diana, but not related to Hasnat Khan.

Jemima told Vanity Fair that the Princess was in love with Hasnat Khan and had hoped to marry him. The idea was not well received by Khan's family and Jemima said Hasnat found the suggestion of marriage impossible. It seems from the Vanity Fair article, Hasnat Khan was a private man and could not see a future with Diana unless they were living in Pakistan.

"Diana was madly in love with Hasknat Hasnat Khan and wanted to marry him, even if that meant living in Pakistan," Jemima told Vanity Fair. "And that's one of the reasons we became friends."

Despite the Princess' best efforts she was not welcomed by the Khan family. Apparently they are deeply traditional and for their son to have married a western woman would have been unacceptable. Jemima told Vanity Fair,
"A son [marrying] an English girl is every conservative Pashtun mother's worst nightmare."
The possibility of marriage was too far out of the question for the couple and their relationship feel apart. After the Princess was killed in a 1997 car accident, the police interviewed Khan. The doctor told them again that the idea the two would be married was "ridiculous."
After the relationship with Khan was over Princess Diana began dating Dodi Al Fayed, although Vanity Fair suggests friends of the Princess believe she was seeing Dodi only to make Khan jealous. Dodi Al Fayed was killed in the same car crash that took the life of Princess Diana.
In September of this year, a Princess Diana biopic starring Naomi Watts will hit theaters. The movie will focus on the last two years of Diana's life and her relationship with Hasnat Khan.
