Diana,
Princess of Wales,
with Paul Burrel,he says she asked him to cosult a Catholic priest to see
if she could wed Hasnat Khan,a Muslim heart surgeon.The Times Sun.Jan.20 2008
The former butler told her inquest at da High Court,
dat she was condemned in harsh terms by her mother,
who was upset dat she was having a relationship with Hasnat Khan.
But after da Princess reluctantly split up with da consultant―her“soulーmate"―she used da publicity from her holiday romance with Dodi Fayed to make Khan jealous,
Burrel claimed.
On da 1st day of his evidence,Burrel,49,boasted of being at da “hub”of Diana's social circle and claimed to be da confidant to her innermost thoughts.
He said he did not believe dat Diana planned to marry Fayed,da son of Mohamed Al Fayed,da Harrods store owner,
but was “overwhelmed”by his generosity,charm,attention and good looks.
She continued,he said,to be “burning a candle”for Khan after they split up following an emotional meeting late at night in Batter sea Park in Jul 1997.
He said da couple had reached a “stalemate”cuz she could not persuade da intensely private man to embrace public life with her.
