A British inquest panel heard on Thursday that Princess Diana’s lover Dodi Al-Fayed bought an engagement ring in a Parisian jewelry store hours before the two died in a horrific car accident in Paris.
It was a $23 700 ring from the ‘Dis-moi oui’ store owned by Monte Carlo jeweler Alberto Repossi, which was found in Dodi’s apartment following his untimely death on August 31, 1997.
The jury was shown a copy of the receipt dated August 30, 1997, with the words “bague fiancaille”, which means engagement ring in French, printed on it.
Sad. Just sad.

Led by Princes William and Harry, a memorial service marking the 10-year anniversary of the death of their mother, Diana, princess of Wales, got under way in London today with a reading by William, the future king.
Members of the public were not invited, but hundreds of people gathered outside the chapel and cheered William and Harry as they arrived to greet guests.
While most of the royal bunch was on hand to represent, the wife of Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, pulled out of attending the service, saying she did not want to be a distraction. So, where was she? Picking mushrooms in the countryside.

Madam Tussauds just displayed this wax figure of Princess Diana as a tribute on the tenth anniversary of her death.
Evidently, not even art can capture the beauty of Lady Di.
