Category: Television and Streaming

Diana and Dodi: The Princess and the Playboy is a new documentary streaming on True Royalty TV. It looks at the life and personality of Dodi Fayed, the escort of Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in the car accident with the princess in that fateful Paris tunnel. With interviews from Diana’s friends as well as Dodi’s friends and associates, this is a unique look at the man who garnered attention by “dating” Diana during the last months of her life.

The documentary includes contesting views about the romance between the two famous people. Many of Dodi’s friends say he was going to propose to Diana the night they died. However, Diana’s friends say she told them she was not going to marry Dodi and was not interested in getting married at that time anyway.

It also comes out in the film that Dodi happened to be dating two other women at the same time he was seeing Diana. We all know of the omodel who filed a lawsuit against him. Kelly Fisher claimed he had proposed to her and showed the press the engagement ring. Another woman finally broke her silence and admitted to being Dodi’s girlfriend and breaking up with him just prior to his famous courtship with Diana. She couldn’t take all the lies he was telling her.

So, as it looks, Dodi Fayed was definitely a playboy who loved the limelight, drugs, women, and fame. Was he marriage material for Diana? It doesn’t look that way. What might have transpired in the future we will never know. At this point, it is interesting to see how this man was “set up” with Diana, needed to please his father, and conducted his life prior to his final famous summer.
