The man who opened a door to another world

DIANA was infatuated with Oliver Hoare. She had been looking for a mature, cultured and supportive man.

She didn’t have that in Prince Charles, so searched for it – and found Oliver. He opened a door to a new world. She knew it was doomed because he was married. But she had been made to feel she would never find love again – and Oliver made her realise that wasn’t true. He made her see she really could have the type of relationship she dreamed of one day. I believe she found that with Hasnat Khan. He was her soulmate.

I still think she would have reunited with him if she was still with us. But it was Oliver who reminded her she deserved to be loved – and could be loved.
