Dr Hasnat Khan and Princess Diana

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

My friend Diana, that film and the truth about her affair with a Muslim doctor that is far more gripping than anything you will see on screen, according to RICHARD KAY

This week, a film - called simply Diana - had its West End premiere. Critics, including the Mail's Chris Tookey, who called it 'terribly, terribly dull', have panned it. It would somehow have been more honest of the film-makers to have said from the outset that it was a fictional version of the unlikely romance between Dr Hasnat Khan and the Princess. The Diana I knew in those last two years was not the manic figure portrayed in this film.
