Diana and Dodi’s romance was ‘FAKED and couple slept in separate bedrooms’, insider claims

PRINCESS Diana’s romance with Dodi Fayed was faked and the couple slept in separate bedrooms, an insider has claimed.

Diana, then 36, and Dodi, 42, shared holidays and evenings out together after she split from Prince Charles.

However, a staff member who worked for them both claimed they weren’t actually romantically involved, the Daily Star reported.

The yacht worker claimed that Diana’s shows of affection were all for the cameras – and that Dodi even called her “ma’am” privately.

They said: “It’s all a big fake pretence.”

The claims were made by the worker to journalist Paul McMullan in 1997, just weeks before both Diana and Dodi died in a car crash in Paris.

They were made while Diana and Dodi sailed the Mediterranean Sea on board a 200ft yacht, owned by Dodi’s dad Mohamed Al Fayed.

A memember of the yacht’s crew reportedly told McMullan: “They don’t share the same bedroom, he calls her ma’am, is incredibly deferential and respectful.

“But as soon as she goes outside to wave to the paps, she’s bending over and kissing him and hugging him.”

Despite appearing to be in a relationship, McMullan claimed the couple were not.

Speaking during the documentary Sex & Power, he said: “The truth was the opposite.”

It comes amid claims that Diana wanted to move to California with her kids before her death.

Diana’s voice coach Stewart Pearce said Diana wanted to take her sons William and Harry to Malibu as her relationship with film producer Dodi continued, according to The Daily Mail. 

But he also claimed that Princess Di didn’t want to be an actress but rather wanted to do work behind the cameras. 

“’There were a number of major projects brewing in her consciousness through offers that had been offered to her,” Pearce told the outlet. 

“But one of the major opportunities that she wanted to create, was to start developing documentaries about three charitable interests that would then be assimilated into major movie pictures.”

“She was planning on spending a lot of time in Hollywood,” he claimed.
