Storage units belonging to a princess are seized after she runs up a huge debt in Paris.

Paris sees visitors from all over the world including royalty.

Well, one Saudi princess has garnered media headlines for the wrong reasons after a trip to Paris.

A French judge recently ordered the seizure of three of her storage units so that their luxury possessions can be sold to pay off the debts. The princess had visited Paris in late 2011 and stayed until the summer of 2012.

She brought along 60 assistants and during her trip she indulged in expensive meals, utilized a limo service and bought luxury jewelry. The princess also rented out the entire 7th floor of the Shangri-La hotel.

The end result was a bill totaling over $7 million. She returned home without paying a cent and legal authorities were caught off guard as she was protected due to her diplomatic immunity.

The court system was eventually able to seize her storage units. It is believed the units contain artwork, jewelry and luxury leather pieces.
