Princess’s girl fights with mugger near Chelsea flat
PRINCESS’S daughter Mandolyna Theodoracopulos has become the latest victim of London’s soaring street crime. But, in keeping with the pugnacious spirit of her father, Spectator columnist Taki Theodoracopulos, who holds a black belt in karate, Mandolyna fought back against her attacker, kicking him powerfully in his groin.
Revealing details of the attack on his daughter, known as Lolly, Taki has blasted the capital’s Labour Mayor, Sadiq Khan, for failing to tackle crime. ‘My little girl Lolly was viciously attacked and robbed near the World’s End pub on the King’s Road [in Chelsea] after going to dinner with her cousin,’ Taki says.
‘She had spotted a hoodie on her way to dinner, a man of North African or Middle Eastern appearance. He attacked her after dinner as she was nearing her flat.’
With pride, he continues in his magazine column: ‘The scumbag got a surprise.
‘My beautiful daughter is made of sterner stuff and fought back, kicking him you know where, though she was unable to gouge his eyes, as I have taught her to do.
‘When she was hit on the side of the head and went down she continued to fight, but the cowardly scumbag managed to rip an expensive necklace off her before running into the darkness.’
Taki says that Lolly, 41, whose mother is his exwife Princess Alexandra Carlota Sophy von SchoenburgHartenstein, was visited by a woman police officer the next day.
‘But she didn’t even ask for a description of the gem the filth had stolen,’ he claims.
‘I suppose that taking a description of something he was certain to get rid of immediately plays no part in police work nowadays.
‘It just might look a bit racist to go into the areas where these criminals live and check out a few pawnshops.
‘The Mayor does not give a hoot for those who live near Chelsea or in other socalled chic neighbourhoods.’
