As the Diana inquest enters its second week, a jeweller has claimed that Dodi Al-Fayed bought the Princess of Wales an “engagement ring” from his showroom days before their death in a Paris car crash ten years back.
“I had given Scotland Yard the actual copy of the receipt given to Dodi’s secretary on which was clearly written ‘engagement ring’. I am probably the only witness to the fact that Dodi and Princess Diana were going to get engaged,” the media reported here on Monday, quoting Alberto Repossi as saying.

The Italian jeweller has also alleged that the British police had urged him to lie about the 130,000 pounds ring. “They said it would be better for your reputation if you change your version of events,” he claimed.
