Dodi Fayed's father seemed to be fascinated by the British royal family The late Mohamed Al-Fayed, father of Dodi Fayed, who died alongside Princess Diana in a 1997 car crash in Paris, has been accused of multiple rapes in a new investigation — inspiring a dive into the billionaire's fixation with the British royal family.

Queen Elizabeth was informed of allegations against Mohamed Al-Fayed before Princess Diana and her sons vacationed with him in 1997.

Another woman who said Fayed raped her when she was a teenager branded him a “monster, a sexual predator with no moral compass whatsoever”, who treated Harrods staff as his “playthings”. She added: “We were all so scared. He actively cultivated fear. If he said ‘jump’, employees would ask ‘how high?’.”
