Paparazzo Mario Brenna Disputes 'The Crown's' Portrayal of Princess Diana Photo Incident

Brenna insists he stumbled upon Diana and Dodi by chance, contradicting the Netflix show's narrative that he was hired to photograph the couple.

Mario Brenna, the paparazzo who captured the famous photograph of Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed, has disputed the portrayal of his actions in the latest season of 'The Crown'.
Brenna denies the show's suggestion that he was hired by Dodi's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, to take the photographs, and insists he came across the couple by chance while in Sardinia for the summer.
He claims to have spent several days stalking the couple's yacht and even climbed a cliff to get a better view for his photographs.
Brenna's photographs, which he sold worldwide, reportedly earned him $2.1 million over the following six to eight months.
Despite the controversy, Brenna continues to work as a photographer near Lake Como, Italy.
