Mohamed Al-Fayed, father of Princess Diana’s boyfriend Dodi, dies at 94
Mohamed Al-Fayed, the founder of Harrods stores whose son was killed in a car crash with Princess Diana, has died.
Fulham Football Club, owned by Mr Al-Fayed, announced his death on Friday night. He was 94.
Mr Al-Fayed, an Egyptian businessman who ran Harrods in London, was troubled for years by the death of his son Dodi, who was in the car crash in Paris with Princess Diana 26 years ago. He was widely known to have spent the rest of his life mourning the tragedy.
“On behalf of everyone at Fulham Football Club, I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mohamed Al Fayed upon the news of his passing at age 94,” his successor as owner, Shahid Khan, said in a statement on the club’s website.
“I join our supporters around the world in celebrating the memory of Mohamed Al Fayed, whose legacy will always be at the heart of our tradition at Fulham Football Club,” the statement added.
Mr Al Fayed for years held that his son was killed in a plot allegedly hatched by the British intelligence services. But French authorities ruled out any foul play in the incident.
