UAE Royal Mahrah Al Nahyan was convicted of child neglect in London’s Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday. She was found unconscious on a west London street in June after a cocaine binge, with a barefoot three‑year‑old child nearby.
Police recovered drug paraphernalia but no substances. The toddler was rescued by bystanders and later handed over to a local schoolteacher.
Attorney Stephen Vullo said Al Nahyan expressed remorse and intends to finish a three‑month rehab program at Priory clinic.
Judge … sentenced her to a two‑year community order, a £8,000 fine, and mandatory rehabilitation, with the fine equivalent to ₹7.6 lakh.
Al Nahyan will relocate to a house close to the clinic and become a day patient after the program, according to her lawyers.
The case illustrates the UK’s willingness to prosecute foreign royalty for domestic crimes.
