IMRAN KHAN, the former Pakistan cricket captain, will reveal
publicly this week how he was asked by Diana, Princess of Wales to
act as her marriage broker with the heart surgeon Dr Hasnat Khan
just three months before her death.
His disclosure in a television documentary about his role as the
go-between will discredit claims by Mohamed Fayed, the Egyptian
owner of Harrods, that the late Princess and his son, Dodi, were
intending to marry.
In the hour-long programme to be shown on Tuesday, Mr Khan says
that his private conversations with the Princess in May 1997 -
during her visit to Pakistan - left him in no doubt of her love for
Dr Hasnat Khan and her desire to marry him.
