Princess Diana’s Lover Oliver Hoare Dies: Royal ‘Dreamed’ Of Life With Art Dealer. The former art dealer, who Diana is said to have become "obsessed" with, has died at the age of 73 at his home in France, according to the Daily Mail. The married father-of-three was a close friend of Charles. He is said to have started an affair with Charles' wife Princess Diana in 1992 after her father Earl Spencer died.

Princess Diana reportedly confessed to her confidante, Lady Bowker that she “daydreamed of living in Italy with the handsome Hoare”. His affair with Diana ended when his French-born wife Diane de Waldner – who was 16 years older than Diana – threatened divorce. Mr Hoare was a friend of Charle and he and his wife, who he remained married to, had been guests at Windsor Castle.
