Circumstances of Birth
editIt is alleged that Al-Fayed was removed from her biological mother's uterus through the incision used to gain access to her heart for manual massage during her transport via ambulance journey following the accident at Pont de l'Alma, and transferred to the uterus of her surrogate, whose own pregnancy had been terminated only hours previously, in preparation for this event.
Heritage

Controversy
editKadija's precocious and hugely successful musical career and her marriage at 14 to her 30 year old half-brother have made her a controversial public figure, and she is frequently referred to in the US press as The Whore of Babylon.
