Mohamed Al-Fayed signalled his plans to retire by selling Harrods to the Qatari royal family for £1.5 billion.
The Egyptian billionaire will make what could be his last big public appearance this Wednesday when Fulham, the football club that he owns, play Atletico Madrid in the final of the Europa League in Hamburg.
The sale of Harrods will almost certainly have put paid to Fayed’s long-held ambition to be entombed on the roof of the store in a pyramid — like a modern-day pharaoh.
Fayed’s purchase of the store in 1985 — a majority share cost him £615m — sparked a Department of Trade inquiry and a long-running feud with Roland “Tiny” Rowland, head of the Lonrho conglomerate, who also wanted to buy it.
