Following her divorce from Prince Charles, Princess Diana had dated Hasnat Khan, a Pakistani heart surgeon later claimed by close friends to have been the love of her life. Upset from her breakup with Khan and not invited to summer at Balmoral with her sons and the rest of the royal family, Diana allowed herself to be caught up in the lavish al Fayed whirlwind, accepting gifts from Dodi such as tropical fruits, a roomful of roses, and a Cartier watch and spending an increasing amount of time that summer on his mega-yacht Jonikal.
