She was married only once, but at the same time she wandered for many years in search of true and mutual love. That is why rumors of intrigues and whirlwind romances haunted Princess Diana all her life. The tabloids continually buzzed tirelessly with news of her latest lover, but only the royal herself could confirm what really happened behind closed doors.

Lady Dee's uneasy relationship with her husband Prince Charles was just the tip of the iceberg. Chronicles of her numerous love affairs, both before and after the royal divorce, continued and continue to appear even more than twenty years after her tragic death in a Paris car accident. But the story of her life is as unique as the fact that there were men in her who turned the world of the universal favorite upside down, becoming part of a fleeting romance and short, but quite bright and stormy relationship, alas, not crowned with success …

Many are aware that the marriage that followed the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles in 1981 was not like a fairy tale. Their unfortunate union was riddled with many troubles and infidelity. The couple split in 1992 and eventually divorced in 1996, a year before the princess's tragic death. While married to Diana, the Prince of Wales had an affair with his ex-wife Camilla Parker Bowles, who was also married at the time. This was what Diana knew about and was silent for a long time. But one day she did share the essentials in an interview with Panorama, saying that there were three of them in this marriage, so it was a little overcrowded. In addition, Lady Dee admitted that while married to Charles, she also dated other men, including the one she called "the love of her life" and the one whom many still consider to be the father of Prince Harry.

1. Prince Charles

Betrothed at only nineteen years old, Lady Diana Spencer married the heir to the throne in 1981, but their "forced" marriage fell apart, as both parties were carried away by romance on the side and other, more important matters than family.

2. Barry Mannaki

According to her biography, Diana first fell in love with her married bodyguard in 1985. Barry has become for her more than a "vest" and a loyal friend, ready to help at any moment. But palace rumors and gossip led to his dismissal a year later. And in 1987, Mannaki died tragically in a car accident. …

3. James Hewitt

Diana herself confessed to adultery with the red-haired Hewitt, who was rumored to be Prince Harry's biological father (although he denied this). The affair lasted five years, after which the military major began to think about suicide. But instead, he threw a huge party in which he tried to sell letters from Princess Diana addressed to him for ten million pounds.

4. James Gilby

But the former car salesman was most remembered for his "home" appeal to the princess. Every time they had a conversation on the phone, Gilby called her "my dear", which was unacceptable for people who supposedly had no relationship. The scandal erupted immediately after the British tabloids took possession of their intimate conversations in 1992, and Diana had no choice but to break off the relationship.

5. Oliver Hoare

According to others, Diana, after another unsuccessful romance and the death of her father, literally became "obsessed" by an Islamic art dealer in 1992. Sixteen years older than the princess, Hoare was a courteous and considerate aristocrat. This is what made an indelible impression on her. Rumor has it that she called him over three hundred times. And the former bodyguard told The Daily Mail that he once noticed Hoare "half-naked behind a pot of laurel tree in the corridor of Kensington Palace, smoking a cigar."

6 Theodor Forstmann

The billionaire entrepreneur was twenty years her senior, but fell in love with Diana after meeting her in 1994 at a black tie dinner. According to the Daily Mail, he gave her flowers every week for three years. But later, Theodore told a New York reporter that he had reluctantly ended an affair with the adorable Diana in order to reunite with his longtime girlfriend Deborah Hagerty.

7. John F. Kennedy Jr

If you believe the words of Diana's ex-girlfriend, psychic Simon Simmons, then in 1995, passion flashed between Dee and Kennedy Jr., and they ended up in the same bed by pure chance. However, the former butler of the royal family argued the opposite, saying that nothing like this happened and that this is just a fantasy tale invented by Simmons.

8. Will Carling

But between rugby player Will Carling and Diana there was a real flirtation, which grew into a whirlwind romance. Carried away by a new love, the princess, under any pretext, took her sons to matches to watch her beloved play. And at one fine moment, Carling's wife, Julia, could not stand it, and later attacked him with the words that she was sorry that he did this to her and that the princess, in spite of everything, did not behave inappropriately for the first time.

9. Brian Adams

Despite the fact that the musician Brian Adams wrote the single "Diana" in 1985, nevertheless, for a long ten years he did not come close to the very woman driving him crazy. But as it turned out, much later in 2014, the ex-girlfriend of the Canadian rock musician actress Cecilia Thomsen confidently told the Daily Mail that Diana and Adam had a real affair that ended her own relationship in 1996.

10. Hasnat Khan

Nicknamed "Mister Wonderful," Pakistani heart surgeon Diana is considered the princess's lifelong love. Their two-year relationship was kept secret, and Han was afraid of the press attention he would inevitably receive as Dee's lover. They even quietly visited Khan's family in Lahore. But the pressure turned out to be too strong and then Khan allegedly broke off relations at a night meeting in Hyde Park. According to rumors, at the time of her death, Diana was pregnant with Han's child.

11. Dodi Fayed

Diana didn't wait long to recover from her breakup with Khan. A month later, she already met with the Egyptian billionaire Dodi Fayed. But their relationship did not last long. Less than two months later, after a joint vacation on a yacht on the French Riviera, they got into a car accident in Paris that claimed their lives. Fayed's father, billionaire Mohammed Al-Fayed, has long argued that the crash was a conspiracy carried out by the British intelligence organization MI6.

Continuing the theme - the story of love and life - of a woman who managed not only to escape punishment for murder, but also to marry a prince.
