Her acupuncturist, Oonagh Shanley-Toffolo, was named a source as well. According to the biography, Diana often turned to the ancient Chinese needle treatment and usually implemented Beechey's essential oil blends during each session. With the help of acupuncture, Shanley-Toffolo told Morton that Diana got "in touch with her own nature" and "found a new confidence and sense of liberation which she had never known before." By early 1997, Diana had a new philanthropic focus. On January 15, she made her famous walk through an Angolan minefield and appeared to be finding new purpose. But it didn’t deflect her from Hasnat. In May of that year, Diana and Jemima Khan flew in Jemima’s father’s jet to Lahore. “She came to visit me twice in Pakistan to help fund-raise for Imran’s hospital, but both times she also went to meet his family secretly to discuss the possibility of marriage to Hasnat,” Jemima told me. “She wanted to know how hard it had been for me to adapt to life in Pakistan and she wanted advice on how to deal with Pakistani men and their cultural baggage.” The real Dr. Khan also said in his 2004 policy statement that they did meet up in public but this became more difficult after the media found out about their relationship. One of the last images of Princess Diana shows how frantic and frightening her life had become. Picture: AP Photo/HO via PA She told one friend, according to Brown that, “I am a threat in their eyes. They only use me when they need me for official functions and then they drop me again in the darkness … They are not going to kill me by poisoning me or in a big plane, where others will get hurt. They will do it when I am in a small plane, in a car when I am driving, or in a helicopter.”

Burrell would later allege that Diana had written a letter in which she said she feared that Prince Charles was plotting to kill her. The former Kensington Palace staffer said that Diana had penned the letter in 1996 and had given it to him as “insurance.” He added: "I told her that the only way I could see us having a vaguely normal life together would be if we went to Pakistan, as the press don't bother you there." The Princess realised that she and Khan could never be together officially. Picture: Tim Graham/AFP No monument recalls their romance. Diana’s love affair with Hasnat Khan was secret. He was as understated as Dodi was flashy, as remote as Dodi was public, as somber as Dodi was carefree. Though they were together for two years, Diana and Hasnat were largely unknown as a couple. They spent much of their time together in Kensington Palace, where they could avoid the paparazzi and their cameras. When they ventured out, it was often in Hasnat’s Chelsea neighborhood, sometimes with Diana wearing a dark wig and sunglasses. In 2020, Toffolo revealed that she was writing a four-part series for the British romance publisher Mills & Boon: [14]

It was in August or September of 1995 that I met Diana, Princess of Wales," He said (via the Express).

Although he never meets her children. Diana mentions him to her eldest son, William (Senan West). Richard Kay, of the Daily Mail, was one of a small number of reporters traveling with the Princess, and he called her assistant that day to ask that Diana get in touch with him to respond. Kay had become Diana’s go-to newspaper reporter, a reliable ally in her unending effort to protect and burnish her image. When Diana reached Kay, she assured him that the story was “bullshit,” and according to his article the next day, Diana had been “deeply upset” by the Sunday Mirror story because of the “hurt [it would] do William and Harry.” It quoted her as telling friends, “It has given me a lot of laughs. In fact, we are laughing ourselves silly over this.” Khan did not know about the princess's relationship with Dodi Fayed until it became public. "When I found out I was really mad; mad as hell," he said recently.Diana biographer Brown, who was friends with the royal, has written: “Hasnat Khan was slipping away. He didn’t want to go public – which meant, in effect, that he didn’t want to marry her. Hasnat couldn’t face the onslaught of becoming Di’s New Guy in every tabloid newspaper. He recoiled from the prospect of his work at the hospital being invaded by reporters. When her sons went to Balmoral for the month of August, Diana began traveling almost nonstop. She flew to Sardinia with Dodi on July 31 for a six-day cruise aboard the Jonikal, during which Dodi and Diana were photographed by the Italian paparazzo Mario Brenna, who had reportedly been tipped off by Diana herself.
