Claims
7 examinedMaria Virgelina Taborda Henao, 71, denies one count of theft at Southwark Crown Court.
This is Local London (via Yahoo News UK) and a second report republished by Yahoo News, both from 6 October 2026, report that Taborda Henao, 71, denies theft and is on trial at Southwark Crown Court.
Taborda Henao allegedly stole the wedding ring from Princess Firyal's 1964 wedding to Prince Muhammad bin Talal, which the princess thought had been lost and which was found at the defendant's home in Fulham.
Both reports say the prosecution alleges the wedding ring from the 1964 marriage to Prince Muhammad bin Talal, presumed lost by the princess, was found during the search of the defendant's Fulham home.
Taborda Henao had been working as the princess's housekeeper in Belgravia for more than a decade when the pandemic struck in 2020.
The reports describe her as the princess's housekeeper for 11 years, with access to the Belgravia home during the princess's absence in 2020.
In November 2020 the princess received a call from the jewellers JAR saying a bespoke piece made for her had been put up for auction in England.
Both reports say a partner at JAR called the princess in November 2020 (21 November, per one report) to tell her pieces were being sold at auction in England.
The princess discovered several of her personal items had been listed by Canterbury Auction Galleries.
This is Local London reports the princess identified her sapphire and diamond ring and other missing items at Canterbury Auction Galleries.
Ramirez sent around £18,000 to his aunt between June 2019 and November 2020.
Both reports give the prosecution figure of £17,835 transferred between 23 June 2019 and 28 November 2020, which the article rounds.
Ramirez is believed to have fled to Colombia in October 2023 while still on police bail.
This is Local London reports he fled to Colombia in October 2023, and the second report says he left while on bail.
