The Chanel burka-wearing vamp who goes clubbing with Kate Moss at centre of sensational court case

For Patrick Ribbsaeter – the lover in question who sat in the dock listening to her give evidence – it was one of the few times he had seen her dressed in a burka.

Cleared after a two-week trial of assaulting her chauffeur, Mr Ribbsaeter, 30, tells today of the first time he set eyes on 28-year-old Miss Al Amoudi – in her room at The Conrad Hotel in Bangkok in May last year when she demonstrated considerably less sartorial restraint.

She was introduced to him wearing a revealing corset and designer jeans. Instantly bewitched by ‘this really beautiful woman’, he recalls being struck by what he describes as her close resemblance to the Colombian pop singer Shakira. Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes

They became lovers that first night, beginning a destructive five-month relationship that was, he claims, defined by ‘hard partying’.

‘She didn’t wear the burka as a rule,’ he said. ‘She wore designer clothes. Though once or twice in my presence she was completely covered up – the first time I visited her flat in London, for example.

‘It was a black burka and it had the Chanel logo on the back of it in crystals.’

Last week’s criminal case also shone unwelcome light on the lifestyle of a woman who claims to be a princess, yet had an illegitimate child after separating from her husband. She guards her privacy scrupulously – yet is the focus of much rumour and speculation in London’s Arab community. Cheap True Religion Jeans

So just who is this fast-living, apparently fabulously wealthy princess, who, according to Mr Ribbsaeter, shuttles around London in a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, counts Kate Moss as one of her friends and has boasted of dating, among others, a former Premier League footballer and two film stars?

One might expect Mr Ribbsaeter to fill in some of the many blanks. After all, no one so close has ever come forward before to talk publicly about her background. In some ways he does do this, but at the same time his testimony serves only to stir the pot of intrigue.

The couple first met when Mr Ribbsaeter was invited to her Bangkok hotel room by a male friend, whom Miss Al Amoudi had met in a bar.

‘My friend said she wanted to party and when we got to the room she was on her own, drinking champagne and quite drunk,’ said Mr Ribbsaeter. ugg boots sale

‘She told me of her many problems, of people who tried to rob her – business associates, people who hang around her.’

At the time of their first encounter, Mr Ribbsaeter, originally from Gothenburg, had been living and working in Thailand for two years. He said Miss Al Amoudi readily divulged details of her life, but in a sketchy way, and, because he did not ever meet any members of her family beyond her young daughter, was able to confirm very little of what she said.

‘We were in bed one night and she told me she was the daughter of Osama Bin Laden,’ he said.

‘She spoke highly of him, said he was a nice man, but she said she had no contact with him. I didn’t know what to believe.’
