When you're the most famous woman in the world, can you really love in secret?When Princess Diana flew to Pakistan in May 1997, she went to meet the family of Dr Hasnat Khan, the man she wanted to marry. One of the most well-known and beautiful women in the world, she hoped to persuade Dr Khan's mother that she would make a suitable wife for her son. However, this was not the only hurdle to overcome: the man she called her 'Mr Wonderful' was a dedicated professional who sought to avoid the limelight – a fact that would test their love to the limits. Had their relationship succeeded, the events of that summer might have been very different.   Sharing powerful testimony from Diana's closest confidants, and that of Dr Khan's own family, as well as information released during the inquests into the deaths of Diana and Dodi Fayed, this book offers a unique insight into Diana's world and the events central to her last years.   This special new edition of an international bestseller, released in the year that would've marked Diana's 60th birthday, features a new afterword from the author reflecting on the legacy of this most extraordinary of women.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305586340213,"sku":"9781787398535","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781787398535_4353239c-ced8-4ab1-8f80-c1538855923f.jpg?v=1786025342"},{"product_id":"9781408723425","title":"The Care Home Swindler","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe gripping inside story of a major British scandal, a man who conned the elderly out of millions of pounds, and an expose of the terrifying reality of what happens to the elderly behind closed doors, from award-winning journalist Kate Snell. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBehind a façade of luxury and respectability, David Barton, owner of the Barton Park Nursing Home in Southport, swindled millions of pounds from the infirm amassing himself a fortune. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way he was assisted by corrupt professionals: solicitors, bookkeepers and senior care home workers who became part of his fraudulent operations - co-conspirators who held positions of authority in the community, and in whom the elderly placed their trust. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith exclusive access to witnesses, court documents, victims' families, the police and the Crown Prosecution Service award-winning filmmaker and journalist Kate Snell goes on the trail of a multi-million pound fraud involving a property empire, luxury cars, false identities, forged documents and lies to unravel this astonishing story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt also pulls back to look at abuses in the care home system more broadly - what more should be done to protect the most vulnerable in our communities?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368833495413,"sku":"9781408723425","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781408723425_c3e34196-7834-476b-842e-34d5ee495282.jpg?v=1786020030"},{"product_id":"the-million-pound-swindle","title":"The Million Pound Swindle","description":"Previously published as The Care Home Swindler'Beautifully written, immaculately constructed, thoroughly researched and raising a very important issue at a key moment.'
