  • Diana’s Bridesmaid, India Hicks, Admits to Stealing A Coat From Harrods Earlier This Year

    Our regular royal correspondent is off today, so I’ll be filling in.

    My interest in the British Royal Family and their cohorts is less than zero, so excuse me if I don’t proceed from here with great enthusiasm for those involved.

    India Hicks is Prince Charles’ goddaughter, is 678th in line to the throne, and was also a bridesmaid at Princess Diana’s wedding in 1981.

    Sadly, the only sources covering her Harrods shoplifting exploits are the Sun and the Daily Mail, so let’s go with the latter:

    [She] stole the expensive Max Mara ladies’ coat from one of its luxury branches at Heathrow Airport in January.

    The mother-of-five, who was born in London but moved to the Bahamas with long term partner David Flint Wood in 1996, was taken to court after being charged with theft.

    Hicks, 53, pleaded guilty at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday and was conditionally discharged for three months. She was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £22 victim surcharge.

    Her address was given in court as Schenectady, a US city in New York state.

    A spokesman for Hicks said she had been ‘absent-minded’ and had later returned the coat.

    I suppose it’s plausible that one walks out a store with a coat, having forgotten to pay, but she did plead guilty to the charges.

    This is a Max Mara ladies’ coat:

    Is this the exact design she stole? Nobody knows – such drama.

    The rest of the Daily Mail, as is to be expected, is a shower of shite about how Hicks has been labelled ‘unusual’, because she’s one of the few British heiresses interested in earning their own income.

    They then cite the fact that she launched a “jewellery, accessories, make-up and homeware” online store back in 2015, but that it was shut down earlier this year.

    So brave.

    We end there, because everyone should be spending their Friday doing more important things than reading this.
