Mohamed Fayed burns the royal warrants that used to adorn Harrods in the final
scene of a controversial documentary on the death of Diana, Princess of
Wales.
As he looks on at the bonfire, he turns to the camera and brands the Duke of
Edinburgh as a "Nazi". Even the film's makers admit the burning of
the crests is likely to be viewed as "spiteful" .
Critics condemned the decision to film the burning of the Royal crests as
malcicious and vengeful.
Hugo Vickers, the Royal historian and author, said: "It does seem
vindictive and in very bad taste to burn the warrants but I suppose it's up
to him. He was the shopkeeper."
The film, entitled Unlawful
Killing, has already provoked outrage for including a sickening,
close-up photograph of Princess Diana taken moments after the Mercedes she
and Dodi Fayed were travelling in crashed in a Paris underpass.
At one stage in the documentary the Queen is labelled a "gangster in a
tiara" while Prince Philip is described as a "Fred West-style
psychopath".
