A MEMBER of Qatar’s royal family spat at a hotel worker in a 2am bust-up at a five-star London retreat – before being dragged from his room in handcuffs. Abdulrahman Al-Thani, 18, launched the pathetic attack in the early hours of Monday morning after asking staff at Mayfair’s exclusive 45 Park Lane “Do you know who I am?”.
The minor royal, who was staying at his parents’ flat inside the posh £700-a-night hotel, spent the night in Brixton police station after cops swooped and arrested him in his room. Al-Thani is a distant relative of the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The holidaying royal had returned from a night out when a security guard denied him access to the hotel at 2am. Prosecutor Rihan Neil told Westminster magistrates’ court: “The defendant was a guest staying at the 45 Park Lane hotel. “Earlier in the night he tried to gain access through a different entrance.
“To do this, he had to prove he was staying at the hotel. "He refused to give these details. “Security asked him multiple times to leave, before placing his hand on the defendant’s arm to try and encourage him to leave. “The defendant became verbally aggressive and called the workers names.
"He then left the premises.”. The court heard the well-travelled business student later returned as the passenger in a white Maserati supercar. Ms Neil continued: “He approached the staff member he interacted with and asked, ‘Do you know who I am? Suck your mum’, and then spat at the worker.
