Role: Rosaline added: ‘As a fellow Egyptian, I was always curious about Dodi, his life, and the relatively small space he occupies in Diana’s constantly examined story’

Rosaline added: ‘As a fellow Egyptian, I was always curious about Dodi, his life, and the relatively small space he occupies in Diana’s constantly examined story.

‘I hope this play sheds light on how a key moment in modern history has been remembered through a skewed lens, and that a quarter-century later we can revisit it through a fresh perspective.’

Dodi & Diana isn’t the first play about the late Princess Diana, after the critically derided Princess Diana: The Musical had its Broadway premiere last year.

All smiles: Rosaline was beaming at the event as she chatted with Kareem

The production has faced fresh criticism today, with the New York Times saying it ‘exploits the People’s Princess’.

The musical was roundly slammed over its ‘hysterically awful’ lyrics and ‘absurdly over the top’ production.

The show, created by Joe DiPietro and David Bryan (Bon Jovi’s keyboardist), stars Jeanna de Waal, as Princess Diana, Roe Hartrampf as Prince Charles, Judy Kaye as the Queen, and Erin Davie who ‘turns Camilla Parker Bowles into the Wicked Witch of the West’.

At one point Diana sings how she ‘wishes Charles was Elton John’ before adding: ‘Alright, I’m no intellect/but maybe there’s a discotheque/where the prince could hear Prince and we’d all get Funkadellic’.

Later, she sings to her infant son: ‘​​Harry my ginger-haired son / You’ll always be second to none.’

One of the most heavily quoted lyrics comes from a scene in which Diana crashes one of Camilla’s parties and scandalised guests sing about a ‘Thrilla in Manilla with Diana and Camilla’.
