Robert Devorik, a close friend of Diana, said she was very upset when she learned Camilla Parker Bowles had become her former husband's partner, The Daily Mail reported Friday.

Diana was loyal to her husband, regardless of other romances, until the she died in a 1997 car crash in Paris, Devorik said.

He told the inquest Diana's once told him: "I've been loved by white people, black people, gay people, Jewish people. The one man I really loved in my life has not loved me."

Devorik told a story about a lunch gathering at his home at which Diana defended the Prince of Wales when a guest criticized him.

Devorik claimed she said: "He is the father of my children and the future king of England and if I have a difference with him that is my problem. Nobody should make a mockery of him."
