Princess Di's niece kicks man on crutches

Princess Diana’s 18-year-old niece flicked a cigarette at a man on crutches before kicking and hitting him, a court was told.

The full extent of the physical attack allegedly carried out by Lady Amelia Spencer became clear as she appeared in court for the first time.

Official documents revealed that the young aristocrat has been formally accused of flicking a cigarette butt into the taxi then swearing, smacking and kicking the taxi’s passenger, Ricci Cinti.

Lady Amelia, who is the daughter of Diana’s brother Earl Spencer, allegedly carried out the assault with a male companion as they waited to buy burgers at a branch of McDonald’s in South Africa.

It had previously been alleged that she launched into a foul-mouthed tirade and struck the vehicle.

According to reports, the teenager flew into a rage when Cinti’s taxi cut in front of a Mini Cooper at a drive-through branch of the burger chain in Cape Town.

Cinti, 27, who was on crutches following a football injury, claims Lady Amelia swore at him and smacked his taxi.

He alleges that he was pulled out of the car and knocked to the ground.
