All you want to know and some stuff you won't, about Mohamed Al-Fayed, the billionaire who married first and briefly Samira Khashoggi and then a Finnish model/socialite.
They skip over the part of brother-in-law and arm dealer Adnan Khashoggi, because the love story with Samira was very short-lasting, even if it produced the ill-fated Dodi.
Having glossed over some uncomfortable allegations, this episode is filled with nostalgic love for the departed Dukes of Windsor, but especially their valet Sydney, a rather sweet and endearing character, who was educated into the English upper class way of life by the Duke and then transfused his knowledge into Al-Fayed.
All very well, but what's got to do with the crown? Not much, apart from paving the way to what Netflix will probably construct as the stars-crossed romance of the century, the Diana/Dodi summer fling that got stuck into eternity because of its end.
