Priest: She asked me about marrying Dodi

A PRIEST has claimed Diana asked him if it was possible for her to marry her Muslim boyfriend Dodi Fayed shortly before she died.

She spoke to Father Frank Gelli not long before the fatal crash in Paris in 1997.

The Anglican priest was a curate at St Mary Abbots church in West London, close to the princess’s home at Kensington Palace. In the months leading up to her death Diana began attending the church.

Now Mr Gelli has said she stopped him to ask about marriage, and he is con- vinced she was seeking Christian approval to marry a Muslim man.

‘She wanted to know if it was possible for two people of different religions to marry. I told her it was,’ he told the Sunday Express.

He said Diana later called him from the Mediterranean where she was on holiday with Dodi to say she had good news.

The priest was asked to meet her after the holiday, but she and Dodi would die days later in the Paris crash. Mr Gelli said he is sure they would have married.
