The dead have entered Fullham, which is terrible…
Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed died on Friday, September 1, in London. He was best known for owning Harrods department store, Fulham football club, and being the father of Dodi Fayed, who tragically died alongside Princess Diana in a 1997 car accident. He was 94 years old.
According to The Guardian, he was laid to rest following Friday prayers at Regent’s Park Mosque in London, as reported by Al Jazeera Egypt.
Ashraf Haider, a family member, told Al Shorouk newspaper that his wife’s grandpa, Egyptian industrialist Mohamed Al-Fayed, had died. “We belong to God, and to Him we will return.”
Mohamed Al-Fayed was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1929, and moved to the United Kingdom in the mid-1960s, where he amassed riches through a variety of businesses.
He married Samira Khashoggi in 1954, and they had one son, Emad, also known as Dodi. The couple separated in 1956.

Al-Fayed’s most renowned ownership was Harrods, which he purchased in 1985 and sold to Qatar in 2010 for a stunning $2.4 billion. Additionally, he owned the Ritz Paris Hotel and the Fulham Football Club.
In 2013, Al Fayed sold Fulham Football Club to American auto parts mogul Shahid Khan for an estimated $300 million.
His eldest son, Dodi, had a lengthy connection with Princess Diana before their loving relationship bloomed on a yacht voyage in the south of France. Tragically, their lives were cut short in a horrific vehicle accident in Paris, preventing them from sharing their future together.
Throughout his life, Al-Fayed was an ardent critic of the British royal family, believing that they had a part in the deaths of his son Dodi and Princess Diana in a 1997 automobile accident.
In an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, he revealed his belief that the pair was deliberately murdered due to societal preconceptions, claiming, “because they still don’t accept that Dodi, my son, an Egyptian, a Muslim, can be the stepfather of the future king.”
