Mohamed Al Fayed's rise to the top of British high society has been marred by controversy, including accusations of rape and sexual assault by more than 20 female ex-employees. His four surviving children are now engaged in a battle over their inheritance, which includes a property empire and ownership of Harrods. Al Fayed's eldest child, Dodi, died in a car crash with Princess Diana in 1997, and Al Fayed accused Prince Charles of being involved in their deaths. Following Al Fayed's death in 2023, his children from his marriage with Finnish model Heini Wathén have reportedly been involved in a legal battle over his estate.
