Dodi 'wooed Diana while with lover'

Dodi Fayed had all-night sex sessions with his previous lover while wooing Diana, Princess of Wales, in the Mediterranean, a court has heard.

In a foul-mouthed final phone call, underwear model Kelly Fisher raged: "You even flew me down to St Tropez to sit on a boat while you seduced Diana all day and f***** me all night."

Miss Fisher said she taped the conversation in August 1997 around two weeks before Dodi and Diana were killed in a car crash in Paris.

A transcript of the 20-minute call was read to the jury at the couple's inquest in central London. In it Miss Fisher, who believed she and Dodi were engaged, accuses the son of Harrods tycoon Mohamed al Fayed of abandoning her for the Princess.

In an angry tirade she claims that Dodi even spoke to her of marriage during one of his holidays with Diana. At one point she says: "You told me you didn't even like her... why do you suddenly like her?"

Claim and counter-claim are thrown about who cheated on the other first, she brands Dodi a "liar" and he calls her "crazy" and "hysterical".

Throughout, Dodi refuses to discuss the question of engagement on the telephone.

Having heard second-hand through the press that Dodi was seeing Diana, a livid Miss Fisher phoned Mohamed al Fayed in the middle of the morning only to have him "threaten" and call her a string of names, the jury heard.

Miss Fisher, who lives in Los Angeles, also confronts Dodi over the now-famous pictures of the couple together holidaying on Mr al Fayed's yacht that August.

As Dodi insists he and Miss Fisher had already broken up, she hits back: "You are f****** crazy. We were together the whole time and you knew it. You knew it." The inquest continues.
