There was an article recently... Tina Brown, who is publishing another book, but confirmed Diana was involved with the billionaire, Teddy Forstmann, but that even he ran in terror because she was sooooooo needy.
Too bad she couldn't make it work.. he died in 2011... she'd have been rich, rich, rich.
I wonder who Diana could ever have married. I actually think she had - probably a kind of snobbery or common sense - that knew how to distinguish men... the Hewitts, the Fayeds... those were sex toys and publicity stunts... I can't see her having married Fayed, even if he hadn't lost his head. Maybe she never would have married again.
The Brown article was in the Telegraph.. not sure if they give any freebies before the paywall kicks in... here's a couple snippets:
According to Brown, not only had Diana reconciled with Prince Charles but she had even “accepted” Camilla Parker-Bowles – the so-called “third person” in her marriage.
“At the end of Diana’s life, she and Charles were on the best terms they’d been for a very long time,” Brown insists. “Charles got into the habit of dropping in on her at Kensington Palace and they would have tea and a sort of rueful exchange. They even had some laughs together. It was definitely calming down, the boys were older. They talked about their philanthropies. And she had accepted Camilla. One thing she had finally done was really understand that Camilla was the love of his life, and there was just nothing she could do about it.
But she said to me at that lunch that she would go back to Charles in a heartbeat if he wanted her.”
Yet as Brown points out: “Diana was desperately lonely. She still wished that her marriage could have survived. She didn’t say, ‘I’m so happy to be divorced’, she said, ‘I think we would have made a great team’.”
It cannot have helped that thanks to what Brown describes as the princess’s “disastrous taste in men”, she had not managed to make a success of any subsequent relationship, scaring off the likes of heart surgeon Hasnat Khan with her “possessive” behaviour”. She embarked on an affair with Brown’s millionaire friend Teddy Forstmann, who described her as “the loneliest person he’d ever met”.
“She’d call him over Christmas Day, at times when everybody else was doing things and she would tell him how lonely she was. Like everybody she got involved with, he found her just terribly demanding and needy and no one could assuage that need.”
