Princess Diana “Was Warned Al-fayed Was Sleazy Villain” Before She Met His Son Dodi, Friend Reveals
Journalist Richard Kay tried to warn Diana before she holidayed with al-Fayed and began romance with son Dodi.
Diana and Dodi were both killed in a Parish car crash in August 1997, and his father was extended great sympathy as he mourned their loss – including putting a permanent shrine to the couple at Harrods, his London department store. The last 10 days have seen a revision in the perception of this always controversial figure, after the BBC’s Panorama documentary program shared accounts of several women who had suffered sexual abuse from him going back decades, including his tenure as Harrods boss. According to Kay, Wharfe said: “I told her that he was basically a villain and it would make life very difficult for the Queen if he was able to parade the princess and the boys as his guests at a time when he was publicly fighting Her Majesty’s government over its failure to grant him a passport.”
