After portraying Diana and Charles’ turbulent marriage last season, creators The Crown delve into Diana’s affair with the millionaire’s son Dodi Fayed in the continuation of the history of the royal family. He was the last partner of the duchess. Their love story remains controversial to this day. How did they meet and what do we know about their relationship?
Who was Dodi Al-Fayed?
Billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed, father of Dodi Al-Fayed, first met Diana at one of the charity events in London. He made sure that the duchess met his eldest son. Dodi Al-Fayed, who was raised Muslim, lived a life of luxury, spending his time between France and Egypt. The media reported on his preferences for fast cars, designer clothes and luxurious holidays.
When he met Diana, he had already had numerous successes in the film industry. He produced the 1981 film “Chariots of Fire”, which won an Oscar. He also worked on films such as “The Scarlet Letter” and “Hook” by Steven Spielberg. He mixed with the cream of Hollywood and the media often reported on his relationships with actresses. He met, among others, with Brooke Shields, Cathy Lee Crosby and Joanne Whalley. He was engaged to model Kelly Fisher.
Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed. Love story
The romance between Princess Diana and the billionaire’s son began in 1997. It was then that Mohamed al-Fayed invited the Princess of Wales and her children to spend the summer on a yacht in St. Tropez with his son. At that time, Diana was divorced from Charles and separated from the surgeon Hasnat Khan. In July, the media circulated the first photos of the couple from a yacht disco.
Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed are said to have played games with journalists. One day they promised to announce important news, the next they ran away from it. The press was filled with photos of them together, and the paparazzi were constantly following them. Despite this, no one knows what really connected the couple. It was rumored that Diana fell in love and found happiness. There were rumors that when they had to be separated for a few days, the duchess wrote love letters to “Dear Dodi”.
In addition, the couple gave each other gifts. Diana gave her beloved a precious pair of cufflinks that she had once received from her father, as well as a golden cigar guillotine. In turn, Al-Fayed gave her a ring worth 300,000 pounds during another Mediterranean cruise.
Princess Diana’s tragic accident
No one expected their story to end so suddenly. On August 30, 1997, Fayed and Diana, after a 9-day cruise on the Mediterranean Sea, arrived in Paris and stayed overnight at the Ritz Hotel. Photojournalists who learned of their presence gathered on Place Vendome and waited for the couple. When Diana and Dodi al-Fayed wanted to escape from them, an accident occurred. A Mercedes-Benz crashed in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in the French capital. They all died.
