Hasnat Ahmad Khan, FRCS (Urdu: حسنات احمد خان; born 1 April 1959) is a British Pakistani heart and lung surgeon.
Khan was born on the 1st of April 1959 in Jhelum, a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan. He is the eldest of four children. His father, Rashid Khan, a graduate of the London School of Economics, ran a prosperous glass factory. Hasnat Khan is a distant cousin of Imran Khan.
Until 1991 he worked in Sydney, Australia and then began to work in London. He served at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London from 1995 to 1996. Then he began to work at the London Chest Hospital. In 2000, he worked at St Bart’s hospital. Then he served at Harefield Hospital. In November 2007, he resigned from the post and began to head a cardiac hospital in Malaysia. As of August 2013, Khan is working as a consultant cardiothoracic surgeon at Basildon University hospital.
Khan had a relationship with Diana, Princess of Wales. He has been widely identified as her "ex-lover," and she is said to have described him as "Mr Wonderful." In May 1996, Diana visited the Khan family in Lahore. According to Diana's butler Paul Burrell, the relationship was ended by the Princess in June 1997.
Diana's friends are reported to have described Khan as the 'love of her life' and to have spoken of her distress when he ended their relationship. He, however, is said to be reticent about speaking of how much he may have meant to her or even how much she meant to him. Khan attended the funeral ceremony of Princess Diana at Westminister Abbey in September 1997.
