"She wanted to know about Islam. She was asking about being married when one person is Muslim and another is Protestant
"She was interested because of what she was going through with [her then-boyfriend] Dr. Hasnat Khan. She didn't mention him, but she assumed I knew it.
He added, "I think she was wondering how the family would react to him and things like that."
After splitting from Prince Charles, Diana embarked on a relationship with Pakistani surgeon and cardiologist Hasnat Khan, and royal biographer Judy Wade previously spoke out on the relationship.
She claimed, “She had wanted to marry him. She had this vision that together they could bridge east and west, crossing creeds and continents.
“They could save lives and make it a better world."
The romance fizzled out and Diana struck up a relationship with Dodi Al Fayed, son of billionaire businessman Mohamed Al Fayed, who died with her in the infamous car crash in Paris in August 1997.
Before that, the couple had spent time together on holiday and the CCTV footage can be seen of their final moments...
