The man pictured with Lady Diana Spencer on a ski holiday in Val Claret in the French Alps in 1979 has been revealed as aristocrat Adam Russell
Old Etonian Mr Russell, the great-grandson of former Tory prime minister Stanley Baldwin, is shown relaxing with the future Princess of Wales during a group ski holiday in Val Claret in the French Alps in 1979.
The Daily Mirror, which bought the photo two days after Diana's engagement to Prince Charles was announced in February 1981, wrote NOT TO BE PUBLISHED in crayon（蜡笔） on it.
Oxford3 student Mr Russell is said to have had a '
galumphing（笨拙的人）' crush on Diana. Nothing, however, happened between them.
According to royal author Andrew Morton, Mr Russell went travelling for a year, and when he returned to the UK in 1980 and told a friend that he liked Diana, he was told: 'You've only got one rival, the Prince of Wales'.
He tactfully
decided4 not to pursue her, but the pair remained great friends.
Mr Russell later said he
initially5 thought Diana was a bit of a Sloaney '
giggler6' but got to like her when both were injured skiing.
He found her 'bubbly,
giggly7, but not in a
vacuous8 way, and lacking in self-confidence'.
Mr Russell, who is now a deer farmer in Dorset and married to gardening expert and TV
presenter9 Ali, declined to comment.
The picture shows Diana lying on a bed in a chalet with Mr Russell, who is resting his book on her shoulder. On the window
ledge10 behind them is a bottle of Johnnie Walker whisky.
