Dodi Al-Fayed

Emad El-Din Mohamed Abdel Moneim Fayed (April 15, 1955 - August 31, 1997) was the son of Mohamed Al-Fayed, owner of the British department store, Harrods.

Born in Alexandria, Egypt. He attended the Institute Le Rosey in Switzerland. His occupation was often given as film producer; he is credited as being one of the producers for the acclaimed movie Chariots of Fire (1981).

He died in a car accident in Paris, France, together with Diana, Princess of Wales, his lover at the time. Their brief relationship was marked by controversy when another woman brought a breach of promise suit, claiming to have been affianced to al-Fayed and abandoned for Diana.

In the media frenzy following the car crash, there was much speculation about al-Fayed's character, particularly with respect to his choice of female companions and his motives for involvement with the late Princess of Wales.

His father erected a memorial to Dodi and Diana at Harrods.
