Princess Diana’s relationship with Dodi Fayed blossomed after she stayed at the home of his father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, and aboard their luxurious yacht in St-Tropez, France. This happened following her high-profile divorce from Prince Charles, with whom she shared her beloved sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. The romance was a fresh start for Diana, but it was tragically cut short.
