The Crown: Season 6 Part 1 Official Trailer

POV: You’ve just finished binge-watching The Crown season 6 part 1, and now you have burning questions. Especially about Dodi Fayed’s engagement to Princess Diana. Sure, your mom might have been aware of this ’90s celebrity gossip, but it might be new to you.

So, who is Kelly Fisher? Kelly was a successful American model who was head over heels in love with Dodi. They even had plans to tie the knot on August 9, 1997. That’s right, he bought her a house in Malibu. Talk about commitment! But, alas, things didn’t go as planned. Their love story took an unexpected turn.

According to a Vanity Fair article, while Dodi went on vacation with his dad and Princess Diana, Kelly was left behind in Paris. But fear not, my friends. She was later flown to St. Tropez and whisked away to another Al Fayed yacht. Picture this: two gorgeous women, each on a different yacht, being charmed by the same billionaire’s son. Cue the drama!

Yes, you read that right. Kelly Fisher sued Dodi Fayed. But wait, it gets juicier. She held a press conference in Beverly Hills wearing her engagement ring, accompanied by her lawyer, Gloria Allred. Allred had plenty to say, proclaiming that Dodi had left Kelly high and dry, just moments before their wedding. Ouch!

The plot thickens! Kelly dropped the lawsuit after the tragic deaths of Diana and Dodi. In 2017, she opened up about her heartbreak, telling The Sun, “I was heartbroken to see the pictures of Diana and Dodi together. But the most heartbroken I ever, ever was–ever–was when he died. That was too much for me. It was incredibly difficult.” Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!

Believe it or not, Kelly Fisher played a part in the inquest into Diana’s death. A phone call between her and Dodi was even brought up. According to ABC, she allegedly said, “You even flew me down to St. Tropez to sit on a boat while you seduced Diana all day and fucked me all night.” Well, that’s certainly one way to spark some courtroom drama.

But let’s fast forward to the present. Kelly Fisher married a Russian pilot named Mikhail Movshina in 2007, and they now live in South Carolina with their daughter. She has left the glitz and glamour of the public eye behind and currently works as a property developer. In other words, you won’t be seeing her on any red carpets.

So, there you have it, folks—the tale of Kelly Fisher, the woman who almost became Princess Diana’s potential rival. Love can be complicated, can’t it? Remember, next time you dive into a TV series, be prepared for the unexpected real-life twists and turns that might just leave you speechless. Now, who’s ready for some more fashion and gossip?
