For over two decades, the tragic death of Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris on August 31, 1997, has been surrounded by mystery, speculation, and conspiracy theories. Now, at 67, Andrew Wainrib, Dodi Fayed’s closest friend, has broken his silence and is revealing what really happened, shedding light on Dodi’s private life, their friendship, and the unanswered questions surrounding that fateful night.

The Night That Shocked the World

When Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana were killed in a high-speed car crash, the world was left in shock. The official narrative claims that the accident was caused by reckless paparazzi chasing their car and their driver, Henri Paul, being intoxicated. However, many—including Dodi’s own father, Mohamed Al-Fayed—have refused to accept this version of events.

Why? Because Diana herself feared for her life.

In a handwritten letter to her butler, Paul Burrell, she wrote:
“This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous. Someone is planning ‘an accident’ in my car—brake failure and serious head injury—in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry.”

For years, Dodi’s family and close friends have insisted that the crash was not an accident but a calculated murder. Now, Andrew Wainrib is speaking out and revealing the truth about his best friend and what really happened behind the scenes.

Dodi’s Private Life—The Playboy With a Hidden Side

Dodi Fayed, the son of billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, was known for his lavish lifestyle. He dated Hollywood stars, lived in luxury, and was constantly surrounded by the elite. However, according to Andrew Wainrib, Dodi was much more than just a wealthy playboy.

“People saw him as a privileged rich man, but they never really knew the real Dodi,” Wainrib revealed.

Dodi was deeply romantic, and his relationship with Diana was not just a fling—he was genuinely in love with her. Andrew claims that Dodi had been planning to propose to Diana, and she was excited about their future together.

Rumors even circulated that Diana was pregnant with Dodi’s child, and that this was the real reason why the British establishment wanted them gone. While no official medical reports confirm this, Wainrib believes Diana and Dodi were planning something that made powerful people nervous.

The Conspiracies—Was It Really an Accident?

Even after multiple investigations, many people—including Mohamed Al-Fayed—believe that Diana and Dodi were deliberately killed. Here’s why:

1. Diana’s Fears Were Justified

Diana had already warned several close friends that she felt her life was in danger. She believed that she was being watched and that a plan was in place to eliminate her.

2. The Car Crash Had Strange Inconsistencies

The Mercedes-Benz S280 they were in had been reported stolen months before and recovered, leading some to believe it had been tampered with.
Their driver, Henri Paul, was said to be intoxicated, yet CCTV footage from the Ritz Hotel that night showed him walking steadily and acting normally.
The high levels of carbon monoxide in his blood were never explained.

3. The White Fiat Uno—The Car That Vanished

Multiple witnesses saw a white Fiat Uno exiting the tunnel moments after the crash, but it was never found. Some believe it was used to force Diana and Dodi’s car off the road.

What Dodi’s Best Friend Says Really Happened

Andrew Wainrib firmly believes that Dodi and Diana were targeted.

“Dodi was deeply in love with Diana, and they were planning a future together. Their relationship wasn’t just a fling—it was serious. I truly believe they were a threat to the establishment, and that’s why they didn’t make it out of Paris alive,” Wainrib revealed.

He also claims that Dodi was warned multiple times to be careful but ignored the warnings because he was focused on making Diana happy.

“Dodi was ready to propose, and he knew Diana was ready for a new life. He didn’t see the danger, but those of us close to him did,” he added.

Wainrib remains convinced that the truth has never fully come out and that the crash was not just an accident, but a planned event to prevent their relationship from continuing.

Mohamed Al-Fayed’s Fight for Justice

For years, Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, fought to prove that his son and Diana were murdered. He accused Prince Philip and the British government of orchestrating their deaths to prevent the monarchy from being connected to an Egyptian Muslim family.

While British and French investigations ruled the crash as an accident, Mohamed Al-Fayed never accepted this. He spent millions on legal battles and private investigations, determined to uncover the truth.

In 2023, Mohamed Al-Fayed passed away, never seeing the justice he fought for. However, his claims and the lingering questions surrounding the crash continue to haunt history.

Final Thoughts—Will the Truth Ever Be Known?

Even after 26 years, the mystery of Diana and Dodi’s deaths remains unsolved. While the official explanation says it was a tragic accident, many—including those closest to Dodi—believe it was something far more sinister.

Andrew Wainrib’s revelations only add fuel to the fire, making it clear that Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana’s love story may have ended not by fate, but by design.

So, will we ever truly know the full truth? Or will the secrets of that fateful night in Paris remain buried forever?
