A documentary that presented allegations of rape and sexual abuse against Mohamed Al Fayed was broadcast on the BBC two years ago. The film brought to light claims that occurred over several decades, with more than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct now attributed to Al Fayed and others associated with him, spanning from 1977 to 2014. These allegations include sexual assault, rape, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. The Metropolitan Police is currently handling at least 159 cases, with 21 victims coming forward before Al Fayed’s death in 2023 at the age of 94.
In a new memoir titled Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, recounts details of his sister’s relationship with Mohamed Al Fayed. According to reports, Diana told her brother that Al Fayed had touched her inappropriately during the early stages of her romance with Dodi Fayed, Mohamed’s son. The Earl described how Diana expressed her revulsion at the incident, stating that Al Fayed had squeezed her buttocks and made a suggestive remark about being a "father-in-law" in Egypt. These claims were first raised in the BBC documentary and have now been detailed in the Earl’s memoir, which is being serialized by the Daily Mail ahead of its official release.
The Earl also revealed that he initially considered naming Dodi Fayed in an early draft of Diana’s funeral eulogy, thanking him for making her happy in her final weeks. However, he later removed the name before delivering the speech. The memoir has drawn attention not only to Al Fayed but also to the late King Charles III, with the Earl alleging that the King made inappropriate comments about Diana both before their marriage and before her death in 1997.
In response to the allegations, Buckingham Palace acknowledged the emotional toll of grief, stating that "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason." The Earl, who has defended the accuracy of his claims, gave an interview to the BBC ahead of the book’s release, reaffirming that everything he wrote was true. The revelations have reignited public interest in the personal and private life of Princess Diana, as well as the controversies surrounding those close to her.
