FORMER FRENCH PRESIDENT VALERY GISCARD D’ESTAING
who was rumoured to have had an affair with Princess Diana, has died with coronavirus aged 94.
Its is six months after sexual assault allegations were made against him by Ann-Kathrin Stracke, a 37-year-old reporter with the German public broadcaster WDR.
Mr Giscard d'Estaing is alleged to have had an affair with Princess Diana. After she became a global celebrity, the pair are said to have become close after meeting at official and charity engagements. In 2009 Mr Giscard d'Estaing wrote a romance novel called 'The Princess and the President'. It was about an affair between a French president and a thinly veiled British royal – Patricia, Princess of Cardiff, or 'Lady Pat'. 
At the time, there was intense speculation in the French media that Mr Giscard d'Estaing was describing a tryst with Princess Diana in the 1980s.
