## Key points

- Harrods wants Al-Fayed’s widow and daughters replaced as executors.
- The estate is valued at up to £118 million.
- The family says it can handle settlements with professional advice.

## Summary

Harrods has asked the High Court to remove Mohammed Al-Fayed’s widow and two daughters as executors of his estate, arguing that they may not be able to negotiate compensation claims impartially. The dispute matters because hundreds of women have made sexual abuse claims against the late businessman, and the estate could be asked to contribute to settlements.

Harrods’ barrister said the family had been reluctant to provide full information about the estate and questioned the widow’s change in position on the claims. The family denies mishandling the estate and says professional advisers would guide any settlements. It is valued at between £111 million and £118 million, much of it held through offshore companies and a trust; the family says its UK assets are worth nothing.
