British BBC reported that Mohamed Al-Fayed, a wealthy Egyptian businessman, died on August 30 at the age of 94. He has a business empire spanning a variety of industries including department stores and shipping, but he is probably best known for accusing the British royal family of murdering his son Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana. Dodi, the lover of the then-divorced Princess Diana, was killed in a car accident in 1997 while avoiding paparazzi chase in a road tunnel in Paris, France.

“Mrs. Fayed and her children and grandchildren confirm that her beloved husband, their father and grandfather Mohamed, passed away peacefully at an advanced age on Wednesday, August 30, 2023,” Fayed’s family said in a statement. The day after Fayed’s death coincided with the 26th anniversary of the deaths of Dodi and Princess Diana.

Fayed never got over the deaths of Dodi and Princess Diana, becoming increasingly obsessed with speculation surrounding their deaths. He provided evidence in court in February 2008 that the deaths of Dodi and Princess Diana were ordered by Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, Prince Philip, and with the acquiescence of MI6. But the coroner dismissed it as a “conspiracy theory” and the jury rejected Fayed’s claims.
