Mark Thatcher's ex-wife Diane to marry £15 million

Diane Thatcher is marrying a multi-millionaire sports publisher a year after divorcing former Prime Minister's son Sir Mark.
 
She has found new love with tycoon James Beckett, who she started dating quietly soon after the split was formalised.
 
They were introduced by friends in Diane's home city of Dallas, Texas, where she moved to from South Africa following the breakdown of her 20-year marriage to Baroness Thatcher's son.
 
Mr Beckett has amassed more than £15million publishing guides for sports memorabilia, which is a massive market in the United States.
 
The new couple share a devout Christian faith, with 58-year-old Mr Beckett "finding God" 11 years ago following a heart attack.
 
Diane, who has custody of her 18-year-old son Michael and daughter Amanda, 14, said:
 
"I told my friends there was no way I'd ever embark upon a new relationship unless that man was a Christian, and not just in name, but in his heart.
 
"Jim's integrity and high moral standards are a direct result of his strong faith. I had a deepening awareness that this man was who he really said he was ? and that he was worthy of my heart.
 
"Our friends brought us together, but our mutual love for Christ is the reason we found each other. We'd really only broached the marriage topic for the first time last weekend.
 
 
"Last Sunday I told my children that they shouldn't be surprised if Jim asked me to marry him this year."
 
Diane, 47, went on: "The thing I'm learning about Jim is that when he firmly makes up his mind about something, he doesn't let grass grow beneath his feet.
 
"But I was still really surprised when he asked me to marry him a few days after our discussing the topic.
 
"He dropped to one knee holding a little velvet box with a ring inside and proposed. He told me how much he loved me, why he loved me, and how he was convinced that the Lord had caused our lives to intersect.
 
"I'd already decided in my heart that should he propose I'd accept, so that part was easy." The couple have yet to fix a date.
