Harrods boss tells BBC he is 'dreadfully sorry' for Al Fayed abuse - BBC Business

Quick Summary:

It is the first time the managing director of the luxury store has personally apologised on camera.

The store's new owners have previously said they are "appalled" by the allegations of sexual abuse and have been investigating since 2023 whether any current members of staff were involved.

The BBC had asked Mr Ward for an interview to try and find out what was known by senior staff at Harrods of the allegations at the time but that was declined.
