LONDON (Reuters) -Mohamed al-Fayed, the self-made Egyptian billionaire who bought the Harrods department store and promoted the discredited conspiracy theory that the British royal family was behind the death of his son and Princess Diana, has died, his family said. Born in the Egyptian city of Alexandria, al-Fayed began his career selling fizzy drinks and then worked as a sewing-machine salesman. Although al-Fayed owned establishment symbols such as Harrods, Fulham and the Ritz hotel in Paris, he was always an outsider in Britain, tolerated but not embraced.

on occasion. dodi was agitated. it was starting to get to him. on saturday, august 30th, diana and dodi flee to paris. but the photographers follow. that drive from the airport was fast and furious. the car was swerving through the streets of paris. debbie gribble is traveling with the company and riding in the car behind them. there was so much tension. it of the like the whole situation was building up into something that was not going to be a good ending. later that night, diana and dodi leave his paris apartment for dinner at the restaurant benoit. when they tried to go to the restaurant, it was impossible. just hoards and hoards of photographers. so they change plans and go
