Dodi Fayed Biography

A film producer and the son of wealthy businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed, he is best remembered as the male companion of Diana, Princess of Wales. He and the princess died tragically in a 1997 car crash in Paris, France.

After attending Switzerland’s Institut Le Rosey, he became a member of the staff at the United Arab Emirates Embassy in London, England.

His film production credits include Chariots of Fire, Breaking Glass, and The Scarlet Letter.

Before he began his relationship with Princess Diana, he was briefly married to fashion model Suzanne Gregard.

During the summer of 1997, when he was vacationing with Princess Diana, he was engaged to marry a model named Kelly Fisher.

Emad El-Din Mohamed Abdel Mena’em Fayed (/f aɪ ˈ ɛ d / ; Arabic: عماد الدين محمد عبد المنعم الفايد ‎ [ʕaˈmæːd ɪdˈdiːn muˈħæmmæd ʕæbdelˈmenʕem fæːjed] , 15 April 1955 – 31 August 1997), better known as Dodi Fayed (Arabic: دودي الفايد ‎ [ˈduːdi] ), was an Egyptian film producer and the son of billionaire Mohamed El Fayed. On August 31, 1997, he died in a car crash in Paris with Diana, Princess of Wales, with whom he was in a romantic relationship.

In 1986, Fayed married model Suzanne Gregard, but the couple divorced after only eight months of marriage.

Fayed was originally interred in Brookwood Cemetery near Woking, Surrey, but was disinterred and re-interred on the grounds of the Fayed estate in Oxted, Surrey in October 1997.

In the early-morning hours of 31 August 1997, Diana and Fayed died in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma underpass, in Paris. They had stopped in Paris en route to London, after having spent nine days together on holiday in the French and Italian Rivieras aboard his family’s yacht, the Jonikal. Neither Fayed nor Diana was wearing a seat belt.

In July 1997, Fayed became romantically involved with Diana, Princess of Wales. Earlier that summer, Fayed had become engaged to an American model, Kelly Fisher, and had bought a house in Malibu, California, for himself and Fisher with money from his father. Fisher subsequently claimed Fayed had jilted her for Diana and announced that she was filing a breach of contract suit against him, claiming that he had “led her emotionally all the way up to the altar and abandoned her when they were almost there. He threw her love away in a callous way with no regard for her whatsoever”. She dropped the lawsuit shortly after Fayed’s death.

Fayed’s father erected two memorials to his son and Diana at Harrods. The first, unveiled on 12 April 1998, consists of photos of the two behind a pyramid-shaped display that holds a wine glass still smudged with lipstick from Diana’s last dinner, as well as a ring Fayed purchased the day before they died. The second, unveiled in 2005 and titled Innocent Victims, is a 3-metre (10′) high bronze statue of the two dancing on a beach, beneath the wings of an albatross.

The memorials were designed by 80-year-old Bill Mitchell, a close friend of Dodi’s father and architect for Harrods for more than 40 years. In January 2018, it was announced that the statue would be returned to the Al-Fayed family.

Fayed was a student at Collège Saint Marc before attending the Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland. He also briefly attended Sandhurst. After completing his education, he served as an attaché at the United Arab Emirates Embassy in London. Fayed was the first cousin of the late Washington Post Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed in Turkey in 2018.
