Award-winning Netflix series The Crown has added Egyptian star Amir El-Masry to Season 5 cast, Variety has revealed. The Limbo star will be playing the young Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, father of Diana’s lover Dodi.

El-Masry became internationally renowned with a small standout role opposite Tom Hiddleston in Susanne Bier-directed mini-series The Night Manager. More recently he bagged a BAFTA Scotland acting award for Ben Sharrock’s drama Limbo. He also scored a role as a military chief in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Interestingly, back in September 2021, Olso fame Salim Daw was also cast as Dodi’s father and former Harrods owner. Daw will portray an older incarnation of the Mohamed al-Fayed. While there are no more plot details available for Season 5, the casting tells that fans are in for a more substantial backstory of the Al-Fayed family. The now 93-year-old Egyptian businessman, back in the day, accused the monarchy of ordering British security services to kill Princess Diana to stop her from marrying a Muslim man and having his baby. His son Dodi was romantically linked to the Princess of Wales and died with her in the fatal car crash in Paris, France on Aug. 31, 1997.
