So, Diana took her friend, Egyptian business magnate and Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>up on his longstanding invitation to host her, along with William and Harry, at his vacation home in Saint-Tropez.<\/p>\n Dodi Fayed<\/strong>, Mohamed’s eldest son, showed up on July 14, a few days into the princess’ stay, docking his\u00a0<\/em>boat\u00a0near his father’s yacht, the Jonikal<\/em>. The 42-year-old movie producer was\u00a0accompanied by his model fianc\u00e9e<\/a>\u00a0Kelly Fisher<\/strong>,\u00a0though Dodi would\u00a0later deny that they were engaged.<\/p>\n Mohamed, who used to arrange private shopping excursions for the princess at his famed London department store after it had closed for the evening, was excited by the prospect of a love connection between Diana and his son.<\/p>\n Kelly left for work on July 18 and Dodi started spending more time with Diana and her sons, renting out a nightclub so they could dance in peace and taking the trio to an amusement park.\u00a0<\/p>\n Diana called it the “best holiday of my life,” per Morton.<\/p>\n But in light of the tragic news, after dropping the boys back home in the U.K. she flew to Milan to attend the July 22 funeral for Versace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
