Dodi Fayed, the son of the Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, did buy Princess Diana an £11,600 engagement ring a few hours before the couple’s death in the Paris crash in 1997. The jury, sitting in the high court, was shown grainy CCTV footage from the Repossi jeweler’s shop, across the square from the Ritz hotel in Paris, taken the afternoon before the crash.
Later footage showed Claude Roulet, assistant to the president of the Ritz hotel, visiting the shop and taking an item in a bag to the couple’s room in the hotel’s Imperial suite. The bag was deposited in the hotel strongroom before the couple went to Dodi’s flat elsewhere in the city.
Who has the ring Dodi gave Diana?
Princess Diana was wearing a ring given to her by Dodi Al Fayed when she died – but they were not going to marry, her former butler Paul Burrell discloses in a new book. Mr. Burrell claims to have been handed the ring a £3,000 Bulgari yellow gold band with diamonds, in the Paris hospital room where Diana’s body was taken to be prepared for its return to Britain. He says he recognized the ring as being the one Diana had told him about two days before her death in a phone call.
