Should Al-Fayed allow his son to rest in peace?

Question

LONDON - Luxury storeowner Mohamed al-Fayed accused the British royal family on Monday of wanting to "get rid" of Princess Diana, who died in a 1997 Paris car crash along with his son.

Giving evidence at an inquest into Dodi's and Diana's death, the owner of London's Harrods store, al-Fayed directed accusations at the princess's former husband Prince Charles, and at her former father-in-law and husband to Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip.

"(Princess Diana) told me personally both before and during the holiday we shared in July 1997 of her fears," al-Fayed said in a written statement to the court. "She told me that she knew Philip and Prince Charles wanted to get rid of her."

Al-Fayed has said in the past he believes Diana's killing was ordered because the royal family did not want the mother of the future king having a child with his son.

Answer 3

as a father how can he lay his son to rest if he has doubts in his mind as to how he died? i know as a mother that if it were my child i would fight to the bitter end for the truth - I'm not saying either way weather i think there was a plot to kill them but it does make sense - if Diana was indeed pregnant it would have grave repercussions in the eyes of the royal family  eg: the future kings half sibling being half Arab but then again maybe it was just a tragic accident who knows?

Answer 4

Yes,he should let his son rest in peace. Unfortunately,al Fayed bears some responsibility in the deaths of Dodi and Diana because it was his company who hired Henri Paul.Paul was head of security and not a chauffeur for the company.So, Mohamed al Fayed feels guilty and is using this inquest to assuage some of his guilty feelings.

Al Fayed is a publicity hound.He has always wanted to break into the establishment,but because of shady past dealings has had no success in doing so. He won't be able to gain much respect by making absurd accusations,either.

Answer 5

Isn't it wonderful the way the British have taken this corrupt, toad-faced, foul-mouthed Egyptian to its hearts?

Allegations without a shred of evidence, conspiracy so flimsy putting on a seatbelt would defeat it...

Answer 6

There are too many contradictions in this case for me to believe that it was a complete accident.  The driver was 'drunk' and yet video footage shows him standing on one foot in the foyer minutes before he left to tie his shoe-lace - a difficult fete for a man under the influence.  'Diana intended to marry Dodi' and then media coverage states that she had no intention of doing so and did not love him - yet footage shows them holding hands and behaving in a romantic way.  There were rumours that she was pregnant and then suddenly an eye-witness noticed contraceptives at the crash scene.  Then there are other questions such as why did the ambulance take so long to transport Diana to the hospital when it was just minutes away?  Just consider the possibility that the monarchy was responsible for creating the 'accident' which resulted in their deaths.  To be able to carry it off as an accident, the wide-spread cover-up which Al Fayed accuses would have been paramount.  People familiar with the Princess and Dodi would have known if they typically wore seat-belts and the outcome of an arranged crash - if if did occur - was therefore logical.  At a time when the Princess was causing embarrassment, distress and anger to the royal family, she died.  At the very least, her death was convenient.

Answer 7

Mr. Al-Fayed is an unhappy man for many reasons.  He now has the opportunity to place blame in the highest corners and is using every avenue.  It is a pity and he has my sympathy for his great loss, but I do believe he is wrong and continues to misrepresent and distort the facts.

best of luck to you!

Answer 8

I think he is a very sad, unhappy man that needs to blame some-one for his son's death. He cannot & will not accept that it was an accident. I think that grief has unhinged him a little. You have to feel sorry for the man!
