Sadly, Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana dated for just a few months before their untimely deaths.
He was often seen publicly with different celebrities, including Winona Ryder, Brooke Shields, and Julia Roberts.
While he was reportedly only interested in famous women, he didn’t seem to want any commitments.
However, before meeting Princess Diana, there were two exceptions to the commitment-phobia practiced by Dodi Fayed.
The two wed in 1986 but divorced just six months later.
This time, he proposed to another model named Kelly Fisher.
Fisher and Fayed were together for about two years, which was considered an unusually long time for Fayed.
He was also reportedly hoping that his son and Diana might get along.
Nevertheless, Fayed took an interest in Diana, and the feelings appeared to be mutual.
It’s difficult to know how serious Princess Diana was about Dodi Fayed, and vice-versa.
At the same time, Fayed was also reportedly on a quest to hey his father for once.
The boys were her priority, and she would have consulted them."
Among these included his reported drug use, as well as his affinity for spending his parents' money.
One controversy was Fayed’s cocaine habit which started in the 1980s.
According to People magazine, biographer Judy Wade said, “The stories were not very complimentary …
I think Diana enjoyed the excitement, but I don’t think she could have coped with that.”
While the couple had only been together for mere weeks, there were signs that things were getting serious.
This included a possible engagement.
Still, the paparazzi had learned they were there.
“It was a chilling portent of what would happen later on that night.”
Fayed was killed along with Diana in a catastrophic accident in a Parisian tunnel.
It was also found that driver Henri Paul was going more than 60 miles per hour through the tunnel.
This, Mohamed Al-Fayed claimed, was why the royal family wanted to orchestrate the crash.
None of these claims have been backed up by any evidence.
It also stated that Dodi and Diana weren’t engaged and that Diana was not pregnant.
“Season 5 focuses on Diana, played by Australian actor Elizabeth Debicki.
Dodi Fayed is also portrayed in the season by Scottish actor Khalid Abdalla.
While not 100% biographical in nature (it is an entertainment show, after all!
), “The Crown” arguably offers a glimpse into the final weeks of Fayed’s life.
“There are lots of ways filmmakers can show something without showing it, shall we say.”
