Diana's Niece on Assault Charge
The West Australian March 4, 2011, 9:21 am
Princess Diana's 18-year-old niece has appeared in court accused of assaulting a man on crutches at a McDonalds fast food drive through. Lady Amelia, the daughter of Diana’s brother Earl Spencer, was charged with common assault after the incident in Cape Town in December.
She allegedly carried out the attack with a male companion as they waited to buy burgers, according to a report in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper. Court documents revealed that Lady Amelia was accused of "flicking a cigarette butt" into a taxi, then "swearing, smacking and kicking" the car’s passenger, Ricci Cinti.
She was accompanied by one of her sisters – either her twin Lady Eliza or former Tatler cover girl Lady Kitty Spencer, 20 – and two men, the Daily Mail reported. The teenager reportedly flew into a rage when Mr Cinti’s taxi cut in front of a Mini Cooper at a drive-through branch of the burger chain in Cape Town.
Mr Cinti, 27, who was on crutches following a football injury, claims Lady Amelia swore at him and smacked his taxi. He alleges that he was pulled out of the car and knocked to the ground. The self-employed machinist, who lives in Cape Town, said he was knocked out and suffered a swollen jaw in the assault, which led to him undergoing a brain scan.
Lady Amelia and her male companion apparently sped off but police traced the car and arrested her for assault. At the last hearing, Lady Amelia’s lawyer, William Booth, told magistrate Mary-Anne Attridge that Mr Cinti had not suffered any injuries in the alleged assault. He said he would applying to have the case thrown out.

Comment:
YES, have the CASE thrown out, he is just a common taxi driver, he has no rights to mix-up with the royal families and relatives, more kicks and punches and throws... thats the way it is ??!
Thats why, there is the Sudan revolution, the Egypt revolution, the Libya revolution, the Russia revolution, the French revolution, etc... to throw OUT tyrant kings, Queens, and dictators (and their close families) in the past months, decades, and centuries!
One need to be FAIR to ALL !
