Princess Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry, was a free woman following her official divorce from Prince Charles in 1996. While there were men in her life since then, the former royal had never remarried to have another child.
Years following her separation from her husband, Princess Diana was reportedly encouraged by her youngest son, Prince Harry, to get pregnant again. The prince, who was an adolescent at that time, didn't want to be the youngest child, but his older brother was against their mom having more kids or a second family.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward confirmed that Princess Diana did consider getting pregnant again. She didn't see herself as a single woman, so the thought of having more kids and a new family had always lingered.
However, the bigger problem was Princess Diana hadn't found the right person to build a new family with. At that time, she was rumored to be seeing British-Pakistani surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan and friends relayed that she had aspired to bear his daughters one day. However, their relationship was still in the early stages, and she was also socializing with other men.
Exactly a year after becoming a single woman again, Princess Diana, unfortunately, succumbed to a tragic accident in Paris. She had also been recently dating the billionaire Dodi Fayed, whose family owns Harrods, who also died in that car crash.
But according to Vanity Fair, the People's Princess didn't see herself marrying this playboy, who grew up being followed around by servants. Although he was determined to propose to her and had the engagement ring to boot, Princess Diana was still hung up on Khan.
The romance between Khan and Princess Diana was a big secret. In him, however, Lady Di had a sense of a normal life because they would just hang around at his one-bedroom house where she would wash the dishes or fold the laundry.
Khan also wasn't much of a party-goer, and if they did go out in public, such as a jazz club late at night, the princess would be in disguise. He had always been discreet and respected the princess very much publicized life.
After her death, Khan reportedly moved to Pakistan and refused to grant interviews. Princess Diana believed in her heart that, aside from her children, Khan would never sell her out.
