Egypt-born billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed is no longer in this world. At the age of 94, he has said goodbye to the world. Businessman Al Fayed hit the headlines when his son Dodi and Princess Diana were killed in a car accident together. Born in the Egyptian city of Alexandria, Al-Fayed began his career selling fizzy drinks and then worked as a sewing-machine salesman. He made his family’s fortune in real estate, shipping and construction. Although Al-Fayed owned iconic establishments such as Harrods, Fulham and the Ritz Hotel in Paris.
He fell out with the British government over its refusal to grant him citizenship in the country where he had resided for decades, and often threatened to emigrate to France, which earned him the Legion of Honour, France’s highest civilian award. After the death of his son, Mohammed Al Fayed fought a long battle with the British government. He was convinced that Dodi and Diana were murdered in a conspiracy orchestrated by Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II. He alleged that the royal family conspired in the accident. This is because he did not like Diana dating an Egyptian man.
She even claimed that she was about to give birth to Dodi’s child. The Queen’s husband, Prince Philip, has been accused of ordering Britain’s security services to kill her to prevent her marrying a Muslim and giving birth to his child. Al-Fayed died on Wednesday, his family said, a day before the 26th anniversary of the deaths of Dodi and Diana.
