Meet Kelly Fisher, the woman Fayed was engaged to before meeting Diana.
When she was still in high school, she did some modeling for a local business in Toronto.
This gig was the spark that set her modeling career in motion.
Though her career as a model was taking off, Fisher did not drop out of school.
Fisher met Fayed in the summer of 1996 in Paris, and the two began dating that July.
On top of that, his spending habits reportedly landed him in hot water with creditors.
And, of course, there was his social life.
Fayed’s rumored relationship history list includes A-listers like Daryl Hannah, Julia Roberts, and Winona Ryder.
His relationship with Fisher was considered the first serious coupling in almost a decade.
The pair also bought a home together in Malibu shortly after.
As noted inThe Guardian, Fayed developed a connection with Princess Diana around that time.
Fayed was also on this trip, and evidently, that’s when the sparks flew.
The trouble is, Fisher did not learn about the affair for weeks.
… We were all sworn to secrecy and no one else knew for a month."
Before it all hit the fan, Fayed was seeing both Fisher and Diana in St. Tropez.
In return, Fayed later said during the call, “Will you stop it?
We broke up, Kelly.”
He also accused Fisher of being “hysterical.”
But when it came to Diana, that all changed."
It was all as if Fayed really wasn’t in a relationship with Fisher.
She famously hired celebrity attorney Gloria Allred and had a highly publicized press conference over the whole ordeal.
Their driver, Henri Paul, was also speeding and later deemed to be intoxicated at the time.
This resulted in the infamous and tragic crash inside the Pont de L’Alma tunnel.
Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones was the only passenger who survived the accident.
In her mourning, she found forgiveness.
Nothing is more important than the life of a human being.
But the most heartbroken I ever, ever was ever was when he died.
That was too much for me.
It was incredibly difficult."
Fayed’s funeral was held just one day after he was killed alongside Princess Diana.
Diana’s funeral was held just a few days later, on September 6, 1997.
It looked into the cause of death of both Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed.
According toThe Guardian, the jury heard testimony from 278 people.
This included Kelly Fisher.
Fisher was also able to convey her side of the story during her own testimony.
She pivoted to working in property development and married a pilot named Mikhail Movshina.
Movshina is originally from Russia, and the two first met in Central Republic of Africa in 2007.
He and Fisher eventually relocated to Aiken, South Carolina.
“We have truly fallen in love with the small town life,” she told the Aiken Woman.
In 2011, Fisher became a mother when she and Movshina welcomed their daughter, Alexandra Grace.
“I can’t imagine what those boys must have felt.”
“The Crown” also features Fisher.
While “The Crown” is inspired by actual events, the series certainly takes creative liberties.
“The one area where I think, ‘He might still hit the jackpot,'” he says.
“And you bring home a swimwear model, expecting it to make me happy!”
Of course, we’ll never know what was actually said between the father and son behind closed doors.
