Mohammed Al Fayed - (always refereed to as "Mr Fayed") has not only accused his former employee of dereliction of duty, but of being part of a conspiracy - with, among others, Prince Philip - to murder Dodi and Diana.However, the idea that Rees-Jones holds the key to what happened during the early hours of August 31st, 1997, is less easy to dispel.
