Relationship with Dodi Fayed In July 1996, Fisher met Egyptian heir and film producer
Dodi Fayed. In July 1997, while Fayed was in a relationship with Fisher, he became romantically involved with
Diana, Princess of Wales. Fisher only learned of their relationship after seeing paparazzi photos of the two embracing. In August 1997, Fisher, represented by
Gloria Allred, sued Fayed for breach of contract in the
Santa Monica Superior Court and claimed that they were engaged to be married, with a wedding set for August 9, 1997, when he began a relationship with the princess. A spokesperson for the Al Fayed family denied an engagement between Fisher and Fayed. Fisher participated in the inquest into the death of Diana. They previously lived in
Paris and Switzerland. == In popular culture ==
