Reports claim Eric Clapton had a brief romance with Princess Diana

"According to a society friend of Clapton's, who was also on speaking terms with Diana, the attraction between them was 'absolutely obvious'".

Eric Clapton enjoyed a romantic liaison with Britain's Princess Diana, a new book has claimed.

The 70-year-old guitarist enjoyed a flirtation with the late princess - who separated from husband Prince Charles in 1992 - after meeting regularly at his favourite restaurant, San Lorenzo in London's upmarket Knightsbridge.
