‘The Crown’ under fire for villainous portrayal of Mohamed Al-Fayed: ‘Bulls—t’
18.11.2023 - 22:05 / nypost.com
“The Crown’s” highly-anticipated final season dropped on Netflix this week, with viewers tuning in to see how the series would portray the days before Princess Diana’s tragic death.The beloved royal died alongside her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, in a car crash on Aug. 31 1997, just weeks after they began a whirlwind love affair.“The Crown” shows Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed (played by Palestinian actor Salim Daw) as having a hand in manufacturing their relationship in an effort to secure himself British citizenship.However, experts are unimpressed by the show’s producers painting the former Harrod’s owner as a villain.Royal expert Robert Jobson told Newsweek recently that “it’s disrespectful and it’s easy to attack the dead.” Mohamed died on Aug.
30 this year at the age of 94 — almost 26 years to the day that Diana and Dodi perished.When asked about claims that Mohamed may have manufactured his son’s romance with the princess, Jobson said: “I don’t think it’s true but I think Mohamed would have tried to manipulate the situation because he was a canny old f–ker.”“He wouldn’t have pushed [Diana] to do it but he would have seen the opportunities involved,” he added. But Jobson insists that Mohamed was not motivated in any way by trying to attain a UK passport, calling that plot line “bullsh-t.”The Egyptian billionaire was rejected twice for British citizenship throughout his lifetime.
“The Crown” shows Mohamed feeling disappointed by Dodi, who in turn appears as someone struggling to get out from under his stern father’s thumb. But Jobson says that portrayal is not accurate.

Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed’s relationship timeline
tragic deaths — are again resurfacing thanks to the sixth and final season of “The Crown” on Netflix. Fayed, an Egyptian filmmaker, was the Princess of Wales’ last romantic partner before they both died in a Paris car crash in August 1997. Their time together was full of lavish yacht trips and jet setting around the world.
‘The Crown’ is a ‘cruel’ and ‘untrue’ portrayal of Princess Diana’s life: friend
story came to a close with the first part of Season 6 of “The Crown.” The first four episodes of the final season dropped earlier this month — and detailed her love affair with Egyptian billionaire Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla), their untimely deaths and Dodi’s relationship with his father, Mohamed al-Fayed.However, the royal drama seems to be chock-full of historical inaccuracies — according to BBC correspondent and Mohamed’s onetime spokesman Michael Cole.Cole told the Sun how the show’s “malicious” scenes are hurtful to the reputations of the Princess of Wales (Elizabeth Debicki) and the film producer. The two died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.Cole insisted that producers of the series did “not respect Diana” and that the show is “a travesty of the truth” and portrays the couple’s serious romance as a short rendezvous.“It’s the complete opposite [of the truth], and completely cruel, and unnecessarily so, and they’ve got it wrong, because … it’s drama,” he said, adding that Diana and Dodi were “in love.”Mohamed (Salim Daw) is presented as a matchmaker between his son and the princess, appearing as a villain trying to savagely get them together for his personal gain.But this was far from real life.
