Princess Diana’s divorce brought her tears when speaking to close friend, holistic health practitioner Nish Joshi. Mr Joshi recently opened up about the phone call he had with the Princess of Wales after the split had become official. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “I remember when she got her decree absolute from Charles, she called me up in tears. I said ‘You’ll be fine’.” 

Diana then managed to recompose herself and joked about her situation.

Mr Joshi recalled her saying: “Then after a moment she collected herself and said, ‘Well, I suppose £21million is not bad for an ex-nanny,’ which I thought was cute.”

Princess Diana, who died in a car crash aged 36, got married to Prince Charles when she was only 20, in July 1981.

Before their fairytale wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, Diana is believed to have worked as a part-time kindergarten teacher in London’s Pimlico borough and shared a flat with three housemates. 

The royal pair first met when Diana was only 16, in 1977, while Charles was dating her eldest sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale.

The prince started officially dating his future wife only three years later, and Charles proposed to Diana after having seen each other only a handful of times.

Their troubled marriage hit the front page of every British newspaper when the princess spoke candidly about her husband’s infidelity and her mental health in 1992.

The pair officially separated on the same year and later divorced in 1996.

Mr Joshi is also said to have helped Princess Diana with her romantic relationship with Hasnat Khan, a British-Pakistani heart and lung surgeon she dated between 1995 and 1997.  

He said: “She asked my advice about lots of things including heart surgeon Hasnat Khan – she was a good friend of Jemima Khan’s and confided in her too.

“She asked me about the traditions in Pakistan – what to wear, their customs and what it was like.”

Princess Diana’s personal chef at the time, Darren McGrady, also had a glimpse of her relationship with the doctor.

He told the Daily Mail: “I cooked for Hasnat. He liked Indian food, the curries and spices, so the princess suddenly started asking for a chicken curry at the weekend.

“I said, ‘But why, you don’t eat chicken curry?’ I didn’t know what was going on for a while. 

“I’d come in on Monday and there were cigarette butts in my kitchen bin, so I knew Hasnat had been.

“She thought the world of him. Her mother and father had split up and she was looking for a father figure in Prince Charles, who had already found Camilla.

“Then the princess found the person she really did love, but she couldn’t marry him as she was the wrong faith.

“She became friends with Jemima Khan and went to Lahore and did events there. She did her best but it was difficult.

“You knew what she was doing but it was not the right thing and so sad.”
