It was Princess Diana who had ended her two-year affair with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, shortly before the fatal Paris car crash, and not the other way round, her inquest was told.

Hasnat Khan told the High Court on Monday that contrary to media speculation that attributed the break up to him, Diana had broken off with him after her first holiday with the Fayed Family in August 1997.

Khan declined to testify in person or via video link-up from Pakistan, where he currently lives.

In a written statement, believed to have been made to police in 2004, Khan said Diana had not been her “normal self” after her return from the holiday and he suspected she had met someone else.

“At a second meeting, she said it was all over between us, but she denied there was anyone else,” he said.

Khan said he thought Diana and Dodi’s deaths were not the result of an establishment conspiracy. “I think it was just a terrible accident.”
