London landmark Harrods, probably the most luxurious department in the world and my personal favourite, has been sold today for a reported £1.5 billion to the Qatari royal family.
What does that mean for the store? Will it stay the same in terms of management and the extremely well trained staff? I hope so.
With the Qatari's also owning a substantial percentage and backing One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge does that officially mean Knightsbridge is the new wealthy ghetto for Arabs?
We will miss Mohammed Al Fayed doing his daily sweep of the store, always with a friendly smile and wave.
