Princess Diana was the people's princess
loved by millions for her openness sense
of style and devotion to humanity but
her busy and colorful life became the
subject of speculation for tabloids that
spied on her every move we will tell you
about the men in Diana's life who
allowed her to break free from
Buckingham Palace and her burdensome
marriage to Prince Charles
Berryman a key diana was 20 years old
when she married Prince Charles by
modern standards she was just a young
girl leaving her family for the
stiffened stark embellishment of the
royal palace diana found a true friend
in her bodyguard barry mannakee
Barry was 14 years older than Diana and
he was married but due to his maturity
he became her support and exactly the
man with whom Diana could share her
worries about Charles
he was the greatest fellow I have ever
had I was always waiting around trying
to see him um I just you know I wore my
heart on my sleeve
I was only happy when he was around
Diana told her friend and voice coach
Peter settlin in 1991 she was so
attached to her bodyguard that she was
ready to abandon everything and leave to
the edge of the world with him did she
ever think that the royal family would
let her take the heirs to the crown away
from the palace was she ready to leave
her kids I was quite happy to give it
all up just go off and live with him can
you believe it she said for the little
girl inside the princess Barry was a
strong and wise father she could rely on
some reports say that Barry felt free to
flirt with Diana in front of servants
one time when she wore a tight miniskirt
she asked Barry's opinion do I look all
right she asked him sensational as you
know you do I could quite fancy you
myself he replied despite that Prince
Charles the security chief once spotted
Diana and Barry in a compromising
situation Diana
always denied sexual intercourse with
Barry a year later when he was
transferred from royal to diplomatic
protection Barry passed away in a car
crash
the princess stated more than once that
in her opinion the
crash was set up by the security service
since Barry knew too much about her and
Prince Charles James Hewitt James Hewitt
was the only of Princess Diana's lovers
whom she spoke openly about on BBC's
panorama in 1995 Hewitt was Diana's
personal horse riding instructor young
handsome and charming he was a strong
contrast to Prince Charles don't you
think James quickly grasped that Diana
was lonely and lacked the support of a
man in her life
especially after barry mannakee left for
good james became her first solace and
then her lover their romance blossomed
at the time that Prince Charles was
reported to have an affair with his
current wife Camilla parker-bowles
Hewitt was a natural womanizer gave her
the attention and affection she relished
and then the passion she yearned for
said Princess Diana's royal protection
officer Ken Worf as James recalls Diana
turned out to be greedy for attention a
suspicious and demanding woman she sent
him an excessive amount of love letters
in presence and called him ten times a
day Hewitt tried to sell sixty four of
their romantic letters exposing the
intimate details of the relationship but
the letters were stolen just before the
deal was settled maybe there were no
letters in the first place in 1994 James
co-authored a book that told about his
secret affair with lady die diana
confessed it was a betrayal for her
James Hewitt is considered the most
pathetic and infamous man in Diana's
life he tried hard to monetize his
relationship with the princess hoping to
provide a comfortable and wealthy
retirement
James Gilby rumor has it the Diana met
James Gilby two years before Charles but
the romance was short-lived
they stayed friends throughout all those
years in 1992 a journalist found an
audio recording of Diana's phone call to
James where she complained about her
husband the call was made on New Year's
Eve 1989 James told her he loved her and
called her darling and Squiggy on the
tape diana referred to her marriage is
torture and called charles his nibs
there were also other details that made
it clear that James and Diana were more
than just friends
the son in 1992 posted the transcript of
the phone recording but say the most
intimate parts were left out for 36
pence anyone could ring the editing
department and listen to the phone call
the whole thing turned into a scandal
called squidgy gate in contrast to James
Hewitt Gilby didn't try to earn money
from his relationship with Diana on the
princess's request he gave his only
interview to journalist and biographer
Andrew Morton in which he told many sad
details about Diana's unhappy marriage
to Charles dr. Hasnat Khan mr. wonderful
who diana nicknames so herself is
considered to have been her main love
the two met in the Royal Hospital in
Brompton where the princess visited
patients during her humanitarian mission
the Royal Butler Paul Burrell told that
he helped Hasnat Khan to sneak into the
palace in a limos trunk to escape
publicity according to him diana
welcomed him in a night dress only once
when we were out at a pub diana wanted
to order drinks because it was something
she'd never had the chance to do before
diana lost her mind in love and was
ready to leave with him to his home
country pakistan the wife of has Nats
distant cousin commented Hasnat was very
much in love with diana but he had
really reached the end of his tether
because diana pushed him to go public
and say they were a couple and he
wouldn't diana literally strangled him
with her attention and gave him an
ultimatum
either we go public or this isn't going
to happen and now as we know he didn't
budge Dodi al-fayed
as a free woman Diana had an only and
last affair after her official divorce
from Charles and the painful split from
Hasnat Khan tabloids captioned Diana and
Dodi al-fayed the Playboy and son of
Egyptian billionaire Mohamed al-fayed it
was likely that Diana didn't have deep
feelings for him and just tried to make
has not jealous but Dodi was completely
serious about Diana photos of Diana
resting with her children on the yacht
of the Muslim billionaire caused great
dispute in Buckingham Palace diana and
dodi x' affair was short because of a
lot of controversy Dodi's reputation of
a billionaire playboy and womanizer
wasn't what the Royals were looking for
unfortunately the relationship didn't
last long almost two months after their
vacation on the yacht they lost their
lives in a fatal car crash in Paris
Dodi's father insisted for a long time
that the crash was a conspiracy
concocted by British intelligence mi6
for 15 years the people's princess was
desperately looking for love the paradox
is she was loved by millions of her
admirers but she could not find that one
person who she could ultimately be happy
