Mohamed Al Fayed, the former Harrods owner whose son Dodi was killed in the 1997 Paris car crash that claimed the life of Princess Diana, has died aged 94.
The Egyptian-born businessman moved to the United Kingdom in the 1970s, having created a business empire in the Middle East.
However, the BBC reports that he never realised his ambition to gain a passport for his adopted country.
Al Fayed had remained largely out of the public eye over the past decade, living in his Surrey mansion with his wife Heini.
