Saudi Arabia's Princess Sara bint Talal bin Abdulaziz is claiming political asylum in the UK over fears for her safety back home. She tells Hugh Miles and Robert Mendick why she doesn't want to return.
Saudi Arabia's Princess Sara bint Talal bin Abdulaziz
She was Saudi
Arabia’s “Barbie” princess; the pampered granddaughter
of the Kingdom’s founder and daughter of one of his most powerful and
favoured sons.
Princess Sara bint Talal bin Abdulaziz, however, is claiming political asylum
in the UK over fears for her safety back home.
The claim, the first ever made by such a senior member of the ruling family’s
inner circle, will embarrass the Saudi dynasty and threatens a diplomatic
row.
Princess Sara, 38, accuses senior Saudi officials of plotting to kidnap her
and smuggle her back to Riyadh, having subjected her to a “well orchestrated
and malicious campaign of persecution”.
She currently occupies a suite and several rooms in a five-star London hotel
with her four children and two dogs, guarded by a private security team.
