Britain’s late Princess Diana’s relationship with Dodi Al Fayed was just a fling designed to anger Buckingham Palace, the author of a new book has claimed.
Tina Brown - a close friend and confident of Diana’s - has sparked fury by dismissing the princess’s relationship with Dodi as frivolous and contrived in her tome ‘The Diana Chronicles’.
The author even implies Diana entered into the romance for monetary reasons, writing: ‘In August of 1997, Diana was seeking to replace what she had possessed as a princess with a superstar’s version. What she was really seeking was a guy with a Gulfstream.’ ‘Harrods’ owner Mohamed Al Fayed - whose son Dodi was killed with Diana in a 1997 Paris car crash - is outraged by the author’s claims.
He told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: ‘This is a total disgrace. She is making money - a lot of money - telling stories which aren’t true. ‘Princess Diana and Dodi were in love and planning to spend the rest of their lives together.
‘You could see it in their faces and hear it in their voices and we have seen all the other evidence to prove it.’ Brown, a former Vanity Fair magazine editor, is reported to have been paid £1 million for penning the book, which is set to be released in time for the tenth anniversary of Diana’s death in August. The writer also alleges that Diana tried to attract other men while attached to Dodi, including US millionaire Teddy Forstman. Dodi’s tycoon father Mohamed - who believes that his son and his royal lover were killed as the result of a conspiracy engineered by the British Royal Family - says Brown’s book is just the latest attempt to smear Diana and Dodi’s memory. He said: ‘This is just part of the campaign against me and against everyone who loved Diana. I will carry on until we get to the truth.’ The book is said to be based on interviews from more than 250 people, including Prime Minister Tony Blair. A source said: ‘It is going to be controversial but this book isn’t based on myths that Diana created about herself and it certainly isn’t gossip.’
