Mr Anniversary Gift

Unfortunately we are looking back on an anniversary of a different kind in the coming year.  The loss of the World's Princess.

If only she'd lived, we'd likely be celebrating her wedding anniversary to Dodi Al-Fayed rather than mourning her loss.

Just released:

Dodi Al-Fayed and Diana, Princess of Wales, chose an engagement ring together which he bought for her hours before they were both killed in a car crash in Paris, French jeweller Repossi said, in its first detailed public comment on the purchase.

The renowned jeweller said it was making the statement to refute numerous articles in the press which alleged that Al-Fayed had bought the ring for another woman. The company said it had not made the information public earlier on the advice of its lawyers.

"In August 1997, Mr Dodi Al-Fayed and Princess Diana went to the Repossi boutique in Monte Carlo, where they chose a ring," the jeweller said in a statement.

The billionaire son of Harrods owner Mohammed Al-Fayed "wanted the ring to be ready by August 30, 1997, at the latest. The Repossi workshops are usually shut during that period but they nevertheless altered the ring to the right size", the statement said.
