Khan, 62, who had an affair with Diana Spencer between 1995 and 1997, told the British Daily Mail that journalist Martin Bashir “filled his head” with Lady Di until he agreed to give the interview.
“One of the most attractive qualities was vulnerability. It was what made her beloved by the public. I later realized that Martin took advantage of these vulnerabilities and exploited them, “said Hasnat Khan.

Khan stayed out of the public eye and talked a little about his relationship with Princess Diana, but this time he broke the silence and said that after Diana’s discussions with the journalist, she began to believe that the nanny between her children were pregnant with Prince Charles and became paranoid about listening to calls.
“She was not a paranoid person, but with all these ideas and discussions about interceptions, Bashir tried to take her to a place where she did not trust things and the people around her,” he said.

“Of course I’m not naive. I knew there was a part of Diana who wanted to give an interview, but my question is if Martin Bashir hadn’t been there to convince her, would he ever have?
Hasnat Khan said that at the end of the interview he called him and asked him what he thought, to which he replied that it was “terrible and a big mistake”. He also said that Diana was clear that, after the controversial interview, royalty would ask for a divorce.

That’s right, a month after the interview aired, Queen Elizabeth II asked Prince Charles and Lady Di to divorce to end their situation, as revealed by her boyfriend Hasnat Khan.
According to Hasnat, the relationship between the princess and the BBC journalist ended and, when asked what happened, she replied that it was because of William, her eldest son. “I could believe it, because the children were essential to everything she did,” Khan said.
“William hated the Panorama interview and told his mother that he had made a mistake, that it had upset him a lot. He was very direct and said, “Mom, Bashir is not a good person,” Hasnat said.

His sincerity touched the hearts of the people, but also the ropes of the monarchy who did not like that he aired their privacy in this way. In that interview, Lady Di admitted that she was fully aware of Carlos’ infidelities.
“There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” said the princess, referring to Carlos’ story with Camilla Parker Bowles. And last but not least, he admitted that he had an affair.
