Princes William and Harry are likely to be ‘disgusted’ by the sexual abuse allegations against Mohamed Al-Fayed.
After 20 female former employees of Harrods came forward with allegations of assault against Mohamed Al Fayed, a royal expert looks at how Prince William and Prince Harry will feel
Princess Diana’s friendship with former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed was well-documented, with the pair frequently attending events together. This connection was forever sealed in tragedy when Diana and Al Fayed’s eldest son, Dodi, lost their lives in a Paris car crash in 1997, reports OK!
Recently, allegations of assault and physical violence against Al Fayed were made after 20 former female Harrods employees came forward. Given their mother’s tragic link to the Al Fayed family, a royal expert has weighed in on how Princes William and Harry might be reacting to these developments.
“I’m sure they both will have been as horrified as the rest of the world,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! “We don’t know much about their feelings about Mohamed Al Fayed… or indeed Dodi.”
“William has never spoken about either, but Harry wrote in his book about his mother’s ‘friend’. He said that as long as their mother was happy, they had no problem with him.”
Reflecting on Prince Harry’s recollections of Mohamed Al-Fayed in his book ‘Spare’, Jennie shared: “Harry said both he and William were very impressed by laser pens from Harrods given to them by Mohamed, writing: ‘He was the father of mummy’s boyfriend, so maybe he was trying to win us over. If so, job done. We thought those lasers were genius. We whipped them around like lightsabers.’
