Dody Al Fayed died in a car crash over 10 years ago. You must mean his father, Mohammed Al Fayed.
I read a headline yesterday which screamed, "Those bloody Nazis" or something to that effect. Of course, of all the people you have named, only Diana would know what a "Nazi" was, and only she would understand the context (the first German to sit on the British throne was George I); Rasputin would have looked at the connections between the modern royalty family and that of the Russian monarchy and therefore would probably have called them "those bloody Romanovs!"; George Washington, being the smart guy he was, would probably have made the connection, but in his time Germany was a collection of autonomous city-states, so he might have called them "those bloody Hanoverians!".
Anne of Cleves was German herself, born the Duchess of Cleves (Dusseldorf); both Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Howard may have called their protractors "bloody Protestants"; all the fallen wives of Henry VIII would have realised the problem wasn't with the English monarchy, but with their filandering husband. They likely would have admired both Elizabeths - the former for her chastity, the latter for her fidelity - both for being powerful women. They likely would have admired Prince Phillip for not trying to become King and supercede his wife (even though in law he would have been unable to), and with regard to the Prince of Wales, no doubt would have resigned themselves to "it happens". And if the stories of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard's infidelities are untrue, those ladies likely would be more dismissive of Diana - whose infidelities were not only real, but confessed openly and not under duress.
Finally, all the above-referenced names in history were die-hard Christians (except possibly for Rasputin who, although ordained as a Christian monk, is said to have dabbled in the "black arts", and I believe all would have been totally aghast at the fact that the mother of the heir to the throne of England was planning on marrying a Muslim. Not a comment on the character of Dody Al Fayed or modern-day Muslims in general, just on the attitudes of Christians in the 16th through 18th centuries...

I have to agree with another of the answers - what in the heck are the wives of Henry VIII, George Washington and Rasputin got to do with this subject.

You've certainly picked a whole menagerie of historical figures there. What Al fayed is saying is incorrect, but he never really has cared much for anyone's feelings, his own family included. He has his own agenda and his son's death has given him an even better platform in which to 'beat his drum' As for those historical figures the only thing I can think you mean is about conspiracy theories and non of those people were the victim of any conspiracy therefore I couldn't imagine them being particularly concerned!

I think the best answer I ever got on the conspiracy theory that Diana was murdered by the British Government was that one day Diana's son William will probably be King and therefore how would he react if he ever found out - heads would roll!! I would think all of the above would probably see it for what it is - a grieving father looking for somebody to blame for his beloved son's death.

i'd ask catherine of aragon how she felt when her husband didn't want her anymore, i'd ask anne boleyn why she married her husband when she could have been killed, i'd ask george washington what it was like to be the first president and if people really liked him, and i'd ask rasputin why was he so weird.

Henry VIII s wives are probably wishing someone had the minerals to take on royalty in order to expose & exploit the full truth behind their own deaths.

They would say maybe to blame someone else?? The Crown would have openly
taken "credit" if they had been involved. They were very saddened by Princess
Diana's death. Personally I think it was a botched kidnapping attempt.

What exactly is your question? And, no, we can't forget grammar because there is no meaning. You are talking about people in different ages, and your question, if there is one, is unintelligible.
