A Saudi Arabian princess sparked a tsunami of angry remarks online, after it became known that she had allegedly made a Parisian decorator kiss her feet and told her bodyguards to "maim" and "kill" the worker.
The incident took place this past summer, but only became known to the public this week, after the victim of the alleged royal assault filed an official complaint with the French authorities.
The man, whose name also remains unknown, claims that he was invited to the princess's residence in the prestigious 16th district of Paris to do some basic redecorating,

reported on Tuesday.
Upon arrival, the man started taking pictures of the room he was assigned to decorate, which is a standard procedure aimed at being able to return the furniture back to where it had been after the work is completed.
The princess, however, allegedly accused the decorator of planning to sell the pictures to the media and lost her temper. According to the victim, two of the royal's armed bodyguards grabbed him, tied his hands together, hit him in the head and made him kneel and kiss the woman's toes.
The decorator also said the princess ordered them to "kill the dog, he does not deserve to live," referring to the man.
