London: A Saudi Arabian princess has sought political asylum in Britain because she fears for her safety in her home country, the Daily Mail said. Princess Sara bint Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, claims she is being persecuted by her own family.

She has accused Saudi officials of plotting to kidnap her and get her back to Riyadh, following “baseless” claims she has sided with Saudi Arabia’s political opponents.

The pampered granddaughter of the Kingdom’s founder, she is living in a five-star London hotel with her four children and two dogs. She said she wanted political asylum as her and her children’s leave to stay in Britain had expired.

British ministers will have to decide whether to offer her asylum, thereby defying Saudi officials who want her to return to her native country.
