Former Harrods Owner, Al Fayed Dies At 94

todaySeptember 2, 2023

Background

Mohamed Al Fayed, the former Harrods boss whose son Dodi was killed in a car crash alongside Diana, Princess of Wales, has died aged 94.

 

Born in Egypt, he built a business empire in the Middle East before moving to the UK in the 1970s.

 

However, he never realized his ambition to gain a passport for his adopted country.

 

BBC reported that he spent his later years questioning the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Dodi and Diana.

 

According to the report, Mr. Al Fayed had remained largely out of the public limelight in the past decade, living in his Surrey mansion with his wife Heini.

 

In a statement released on Friday, his family said: “Mrs. Mohamed Al Fayed, her children, and grandchildren wish to confirm that her beloved husband, their father, and their grandfather, Mohamed, has passed away peacefully of old age on Wednesday, August 30, 2023.

 

“He enjoyed a long and fulfilled retirement surrounded by his loved ones.”
