Diana took to meeting with Dr. Khan in his small overnight room at the Royal Brompton Hospital. She asked if she could watch him perform open-heart surgery. "Anybody with courage enough to watch a heart operation can come in," Khan told her. He couldn't keep her away after that. Sky TV had arranged to film Sir Magdi Yacoub operating at the Harefield Hospital on a seven-year-old African boy, flown to the U.K. by the Chain of Hope charity. The organization asked Diana if she would attend to boost the viewership. The footage of her Bambi eyes with black eyeliner peering over the top of a white surgical mask in the operating theater was the focus of much satirical commentary. Awkwardly, in late November 1995, a photographer from the News of the World caught Diana at the hospital at midnight. She was due to meet Khan as he came off his shift. Borrowing the photographer's mobile phone, she spoke to the paper's royal correspondent, Clive Goodman (nicknamed "the Eternal Flame" by his colleagues because he never left the office—no longer the case, alas, since he was sent to jail this year for tapping into the Clarence House voice mail). She told Goodman that, yes, it was true, she was at the hospital comforting terminally ill patients. She did it, she told him, up to four hours a night three times a week. "I try to be there for them.… I seem to draw strength from them.… They all need someone.… I hold their hands, talk to them—whatever helps."
