Video shown of Dodi jewellery shopping
November 16th, 2007A coroner’s jury has seen video footage of Dodi Fayed looking at jewellery in a swanky shop in Paris hours before he died, perhaps buying an engagement ring for Princess Diana.
Whether the princess and Fayed were planning to marry is an important issue for the jurors, who must decide how the couple came to die on August 31, 1997 in a car crash in a tunnel in Paris.
Fayed’s father, Harrods’ department store owner Mohamed al Fayed, contends that the impending announcement of an engagement was a reason why the couple was the target of a murder conspiracy directed by Prince Philip, husband of the Queen. Al Fayed also claims that Diana was pregnant with Dodi Fayed’s child.
French and British police concluded that the driver, Henri Paul, was drunk and was driving too fast.
