How much did Dodi Fayed sell Harrods for? Dodi Fayed didn't sell Harrods. His father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, sold Harrod's in 2010 for £1.5 billion ($1.86 billion) to Qatar Holdings.
In 2010, it was announced that Fayed had sold Harrods to Qatar Holdings for £1.5 billion. The move came as a surprise to many—Mohamed was famously attached to the department store, and had even spoken of wanting to be entombed on the roof of the building after his death.
Born into the billionaire family of Mohamed Al-Fayed, Dodi, the eldest son, inherited substantial wealth (his father's net worth was estimated at $2 billion upon his demise in August 2023). The exact net worth of Dodi at the time of his death remains undisclosed.
As depicted in the show's third episode, Fayed bought a ring from the French luxury jewellery brand Repossi following his and Diana's visit to a store in Monte Carlo.
I took friends who had never been to Harrods or seen the Diana/Dodi memorial, after walking around I finally asked a staff member. The store is no longer part of the Fayid property portfolio, it is now owned by the Royal family of Quater and all trace of Diana has been removed.
After the princess' death, most of her personal jewelry was inherited by her two sons Princes William and Harry, with pieces loaned to her during her lifetime being returned to Queen Elizabeth II, where they are most likely to have been inherited by King Charles in 2022.
In King: The Life of Charles III, Christopher Andersen says Charles was "ashen and trembling" when he heard the news of Diana's death. "He let out a cry of pain that was so spontaneous and came from the heart. Palace staff rushed over to Charles' room and found him collapsed in an armchair, weeping uncontrollably."
While he was openly critical of the royal family after the crash, Al-Fayed did attend Princess Diana's funeral in Westminster Abbey in 1997, alongside his wife, Heini Wathen. His son Dodi had been buried at an earlier date at Barrow Green Court, Surrey – a house which Al-Fayed owned.
While Harry and William were the chief heirs of Diana's estate, the People's Princess' will also listed others whom she wanted to share her wealth, including her butler, Paul Burrell, as well as 17 of her godchildren, according to Worthy.
Also the fact he tried to apparently to call her the night she died but couldn't reach her as she changed her number breaks my heart. But it's a bit disappointing how they focused more on Dodi - Diana relationship when they only dated for two months. I wish they'd went deeper in their relationship.
Harrods is a British luxury department store located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, London, England. It is owned by Harrods Ltd, a company currently owned by the state of Qatar via its sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority.

Two recalled Diana dismissing tabloid claims that she and Dodi would soon be engaged, both times saying, “I need another marriage like I need a rash on my face.” She told several of them she was having a fun summer but looked forward to getting back to London, to work and to her children.
As the present graph lays out, in 2023 the net worth of Harrods Limited amounted to almost 2.4 billion British pounds, although turnover was lower than previous years in the financial year ending in February 2022.
Why did Princess Margaret not bow to Diana's coffin?
Why did Princess Margaret refuse to bow as Princess Diana's coffin went past the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace? She was there, at the funeral, which was right and proper. She respected the loss of her great-nephew's mother without being hypocritical as she wasn't personally fond of Diana.
Diana's former husband, sons, mother, siblings, a close friend, and a clergyman were present. Diana's body was clothed in a black long-sleeved, three-quarter length woollen cocktail dress designed by Catherine Walker which she had chosen some weeks before, a pair of black pantyhose, and a pair of black shoes.
Diana suffered from a concussion, broken arm and a cut to her thigh in the crash, but what ultimately took her life were her severe chest wounds. Her heart was displaced in her chest and she suffered a tear to her pulmonary vein that proved lethal and caused internal bleeding.
Another inconsistency he noted was that Prince William did not go missing for 14 hours at Balmoral Castle after learning of his mother's death. Although, he did say that the princes did go for walks after Diana's death to deal with their grief.
While Charles was born on November 14, 1948, his future wife, Lady Diana Spencer was born on July 1, 1961 giving them a 12 year difference in age. The couple married on July 29, 1981, just a few weeks after Diana's 20th birthday.
The last time the choker was publicly seen was when the Princess attended the Met Gala in New York in December 1996. It hasn't been seen or exhibited since and now belongs to Prince William and Prince Harry.
The Crown took creative liberties and introduced Kate Middleton as a character, but her meeting with Princess Diana never happened in real life. The series reached recent history in its final season, covering events like Princess Diana's tragic car crash and Prince William meeting Kate Middleton in 2001.
The unknown alleged daughter of Diana is called Sarah Spencer. The rumor is that Prince Willam, after discovering her existence, was curious to meet her but was advised not to by the Royal advisors.
