One of Princess Diana's closest friend, Simone Simmons, has shed light on her pals love life, claiming that they discussed each man in Diana's life and her feelings for them.
Simmons asserted that sex with Cavalry officer James Hewitt, who was hired to teach Princes William and Harry to ride, was like "fireworks" for Diana, the Daily Star reported.
The confidant said that she then fell for rugby ace Will Carling, who she had met at the Harbour Club gym and even asked him for private training sessions.
Simmons said that Diana also told her about her affair with married Oliver Hoare, an Islamic art expert, after he had complained that he had received nearly 300 silent phone calls to his family home from Diana.
Lastly, Simmons added that Diana's relationship with surgeon Hasnat Khan was not based on sex, but it was a close friendship and they were genuinely interested in each other.
