The senior Al Fayed also holds a long-term lease...
...happier, some royal watchers contend, than for his son to become stepfather to the future King of England. Dodi and Diana's liaison reportedly began when the elder Al Fayed invited the princess and her two sons to vacation with his family at his villa in St.-Tropez. Adnan Khashoggi told a Saudi newspaper last month, "We welcome Diana into our family." The relationship between Dodi and Di led to an "inflated sense of pride" for England's Middle Eastern and Asian communities, contributor Fuad Nahdi wrote in the Independent.
