Princess Diana's ex-lover, art dealer Oliver Hoare, dies at 73

From a casual affair to a turbulent controversy which threw Diana under the retrospection of both the public and the royal family, Oliver Hoare played a major role in her life
PUBLISHED SEP 11, 2018

Princess Diana's former lover, art dealer Oliver Hoare, has died of cancer in France at the age of 73. Of all the men who had courted the royal, it was probably Hoare who had the most impact on the Princess' life. A friend of Prince Charles, Hoare had begun courting Diana following her father's death in 1992. 

Diana was apparently obsessed with the man who was almost 16 years older than her and was reportedly married at the time he and Diana started their affair. The Princess met the old Etonian art dealer during Ascot week in 1985 when Hoare and his wife were at the Windsor Castle as guests to the Queen. Their relationship went through several dark moments including one when Diana would constantly enquire about Camila, in spite of which Hoare and his wife continued entertaining the Prince of Wales and Diana's archenemy, Camila, for dinners.
