A Jordanian princess has accused her housekeeper of stealing jewellery from her Belgravia home.
Princess Firyal Irshaid, 81, saw her jewellery collection taken from her home and listed for sale after she left Britain in 2020 during the pandemic.
Maria Taborda Henao, 71, denies stealing the items, which include a wedding ring and a custom sapphire and diamond ring.
After arriving in Britain in the late 1980s, Taborda Henao told Southwark Crown Court through a Spanish interpreter that she had cleaned for around 30 to 35 households, including for the late businessman Lord Jacobs and a Belgian countess.
