-Caveat Lector- from: http://www7.mercurycenter.com/premium/ent/docs/grape12.htm Published Thursday, August 12, 1999, in the San Jose Mercury News A new look at Di's woes >From Liz Smith in New York `EVERY HUMAN being is a divinity and can only be a divinity if there are dark aspects in him as well,'' said Hans Werner Henze. The late Diana, Princess of Wales, was a human being, certainly divine, in her way, and more than burdened with dark aspects. The latter are to be fully covered in Sally Bedell Smith's new book ``Diana in Search of Herself: Portrait of a Troubled Princess.'' For those of you who are interested, Smith's book is juicily excerpted in not one but two major magazines next week, W and People. To be accurate, People has an excerpt. W's Julie Belcove interviews Smith and catalogs a lot of the book's racy stuff in her profile. Smith's jaundiced take on Diana is that she was a severely emotionally disturbed young woman: desperately insecure, manipulative, controlling, self-pitying, a ``borderline personality.'' The writer also concludes that her 32-day romance with Dodi al-Fayed was hardly the great love of her life. Well, geez, what else is new? I think Diana's problems were fairly obvious to anyone with eyes and ears. And as I wrote in the immediate aftermath of her death, it was her modern, up-front neuroses, her movie-starish need to share all her pain with her ``fans'' that made her such an irresistible heroine and media magnet. How much of her psychic pain was exacerbated by life with Prince Charles and his cold-blooded family? Quite a bit, I'd venture. How would she have ended up had she not married Charles? It would have been a life lived outside the heat and fury of world fame. Ah, and there's the rub. Diana's ascension to media icon gave her, for a brief period, a respite from her demons. Smith insists it wasn't her intention to dig up dirt or to ``rake muck.'' Hmmmmm! I suppose, like Mount Everest, Diana's life is ``just there'' and open to all climbers. That's fame in the almost 21st century. >From Marilyn Beck, Stacy Jenel Smith and Stephanie DuBois in Hollywood ======= from: http://detnews.com/1996/menu/stories/72843.htm November 4, 1996 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Di's heart said to beat for cardiac specialist Reuter LONDON -- Britain's Princess Diana has fallen "desperately" in love with a 36-year-old Muslim heart surgeon and wants him to become her second husband after heir to the throne Prince Charles, a British newspaper claimed Sunday. The Sunday Mirror linked Diana, 36, to Hasnat Khan, an unmarried British-based cardiac specialist whose family lives in Pakistan. And it quoted a "friend" of the Princess as saying she hoped he would father a half-sister to her two sons, Princes William and Harry. "The Princess is desperately in love," the tabloid quoted the friend. "On the one hand, she wants the world to know. But on the other hand, she is understandably concerned that her enthusiasm may send him running." The newspaper said the Princess met Khan just over a year ago -- well before her divorce from Charles was finalized. The newspaper said her affections for Khan explained a number of surprising developments in the Princess's life -- her regular night-time visits to the Royal Brompton to comfort patients, and trips to Pakistan and Australia. Copyright 1996, The Detroit News ===== from: http://www.internet-inquirer.com/discus/messages/52/115.html By Ann on Tuesday, April 13, 1999 - 03:37 pm: Some bits from ' Diana - the Secret Years. simone says that Khan was the true love of Diana's life. thei relationship began in the Autumn of 95 Diana would often wear a wig and store bought clothes to go out on the town with Khan who after all would recognise a dark haired woman in anonymous clothes out with a slightly over weight Asian man" Diana believed that she could live a normal life as plain Mrs Khan in Australia or America, she even had friends look at prospective properties in those countries. she introduced the boys to Hasnat some months after they had been close. although her sons were both predictably polite to him, william took a mature attitude telling her that the relationship was OK with him' if it makes you happy mummy, but Hasnat was uneasy. As Diana told me, he wasn't ready to become the step father of two very self possessed adolescents", and especially not william the heir to the throne." she however driven by the desire to have a little girl remained optomistic that things could work out. Diana may have indeed been indulging in wishful thinking. both before and after her death Hasnat, whilst speaking of the princess with the warmest respect and affection, has said that no such plans had been made. Late one spring evening in 97 journalist from all over the world had tracked Hasnat down after Diana had visited his relatives in Pakistan. and he had told Diana he wanted to 'step away' Diana felt guilty that her public persona was affecting a 'normal' relationship, hasnat had an invitation to Diana' funeral due to Paul burrel arranging it. since burrell is probably the only one with the secretasof dians' heart, and he isn't telling Burrell must have thought Khana very important person in dinas'life. simone believe that Dodi was merely a distraction during the summer of 97 and that Diana' intention was that Khan would see the error of rejecting her. Khan was on holiday when Diana died but when he returned he found a birthday card from Diana and an invitation to her funeral. this meant that whilst she was holidaying with Dodi, she was remembering Khans' birthday too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- -----Original Message----- From: Linda Minor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Brian Lantz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, August 13, 1999 10:49 AM Subject: Fw: [CTRL] New Diana Book > >-----Original Message----- >From: Kris Millegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Friday, August 13, 1999 9:37 AM >Subject: [CTRL] New Diana Book > > >> -Caveat Lector- >> >>from alt.conspiracy >>----- >>As always, Caveat Lector. >>Om >>K >>----- >><A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:544471">New Diana Book</A> >>----- >>Subject: New Diana Book >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (*Michael* ) >>Date: Thu, 12 August 1999 06:05 PM EDT >>Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> >>A new book says Princess Diana was in love with a Pakistani heart >>surgeon when she died in a Paris car crash, not with Dodi Al-Fayed, >>who also died in the crash nearly two years ago.
