Mohamed Al-Fayed, the father of Princess Diana's boyfriend Dodi Fayed, was a major figure in the news at the time of Diana and Dodi's tragic 1997 death. But the late Harrods owner—who died in 2023—has been back in the spotlight after a bombshell BBC documentary, Al-Fayed: Predator at Harrods, revealed allegations that the businessman had sexually assaulted more than 20 former employees. Now, author Alison Kervin has investigated the chilling claims in a new book, The Monster of Harrods.
In an excerpt published in the Times, Kervin—who spoke with 60 "survivors, witnesses and former employees" for the tell-all—wrote that Al-Fayed would "stroll around" Harrods "looking for women to abuse." One security guard, Biggie, told the author that "he witnessed girls coming out of Fayed’s office crying, disheveled and terrified."
