Al-Fayed for decades insisted the pair were murdered, despite inquiries finding otherwise, and was scornful towards the British royal family in his later life.
After 1997, when a car crash claimed the lives of his son and Diana, Al-Fayed would frequently sling insults at the British royal family and became persona non grata among parts of the country’s elite.
Al-Fayed was questioned by police in 2008 in relation to a sex assault allegation that he denied, a Harrods spokesperson said at the time.
He eventually sold the store to the Qatari royal family in 2010, for a reported $2.25 billion.
Al-Fayed had six children, including Dodi and the environmentalist entrepreneur Omar Fayed.
