The claim is actually false, for both versions of the problem. That is, we may define a diametral path of $G$ as a path with length equal to the diameter of $G$ (I think this is the OP's intent), or as a path with length equal to the diameter with the additional property that it is a shortest path between its ends (this is Shahrooz Janbaz's interpretation).
Here is an infinite family of counterexamples to the second definition (Shahrooz Janbaz has already given a counterexample to the first defintion). Let $G_k$ be the graph obtained from a cycle of length $2k$ by first adding a parallel edge for each edge and then subdividing each edge once. Observe that $G_k$ is not regular (it has vertices of degree $2$ and $4$) and has diameter $2k$. Moreover, if $x$ is a degree $4$ vertex of $G_k$, then there are $2^{k+1}$ diametral paths starting at $x$ (there are $2^k$ in each direction). Similarly, if $y$ is a degree $2$ vertex of $G_k$, there are $2^{k+1}$ diametral paths starting at $y$.
