The legacy of Mohamed Al Fayed, the Egyptian billionaire who passed away in 2023 at the age of 94, is now marred by a series of serious allegations. Nearly 37 women have come forward, accusing Al Fayed of sexual assault, including rape. Among the accusers are six American women, one of whom granted an exclusive interview to NBC News.
Al Fayed, a controversial figure known for his ownership of London’s iconic Harrods department store, was also featured in Netflix’s popular historical drama series, “The Crown.” He held a close relationship with Princess Diana in the late 1990s, even going on a holiday trip with her and her sons, Prince William and Harry, despite warnings from Dai Davies, the former head of royal protection.
These allegations, which come to light after his death, paint a stark contrast to his public persona and raise troubling questions about his past actions. The accusations are currently being investigated, and it remains to be seen what impact they will have on his legacy.
