[Political Junkie Too]

In The Crown, he was portrayed as a very rich mogul who desperately wanted British citizenship. His applications had been rejected several times, and he blamed racism for it (he had bribed politicians in the past). He pressured his son Dodi to date Princess Diana and then propose to her as a means of getting citizenship for himself and Dodi.

Dodi didn't want to do it, but his father was extremely overbearing and essentially ordered Dodi to do it. Diana wasn't interested in a long-term committed relationship, and they were going to talk more about it when the accident happened.

Thanks for that most interesting. It’s a bit of a saga where I dont know who to believe.

There is no other evidence or corroboration.

And even in the 80s and 90s we had tape machines, etc!
