Princess Diana Inquest: The Ring Of Truth
“THE PROOF DIANA WAS GETTING ENGAGED?” The Mail is at the Diana inquest and experiences a “sensational new twist”.
Was the £11,600 knuckleduster Dodi Fayed bought meant as an engagement ring, what the receipt FROM Alberto Repossi’s Paris jewellers terms a “bague financaille”? The jurors look on as Dodi purchases the jewel of the Dis-moi oui - ‘Tell me yes’ - range.
The paper calls it the “Riddle of the diamond ring”. And indeed it is a puzzle. Why would the son of a billionaire buy a ring costing just £11,000 for his celebrity lover?
Words like “riddle” and “sensation” are tabloid currency with a value right up there with Turkish lira. But here they have real worth. Was this really what Dodi Fayed was going to give Diana?
Or was it just a token, make-do trinket until the real rock could be excavated and shined?
And if he just wanted any old ring, why not have a Celtic Cross Ring dispatched from his father corner shop at a cost of £139 plus postage and package?
Riddle. Sensation. Both.

There is a post on Truth For Madeleine which brings up the idea that all friends were in 5A, and kids were sedated for a bit of peace, and Maddy passed away…could there be something in this…IMO, if a child was taken to the hospital, or local doctor, there would be trouble. So, to avoid this, and Maddy not being that wanted, save our backs….think of something quick, hence the phone calls.

If Henri Paul was an MI5 operative he would have to have been a crack driver, trained in getting out of difficulties!

It would be easier to check on twins whilst eating at restaurant. They would probably sleep well. By then the job was probably over. One way or the other.

Lucky Dodi didn’t have time to offend Diana with his demonstrable lack of taste!

Didn’t think the FWA liked the PoW, Andrew? anyway wouldn’t it have been at Pontypool not Pont de l’Alma?

Of course, an added comment - there were two, one put in for safe keeping and one taken in a bag into the room.??

That is a thought - one for him, one for her, a smaller one. Good one Anorak!
Some sort of wedding ring of the future.

Do we know how big the ring was? Might have been for him?

Some thoughts. How long did Diana know Dodi for? The ring would have made a nice belt buckle. Or mobile phone accessory.
Did Diana not do as she was told…marry Dodi or else.

Free Wales Army did her in. How many times do you need telling!
