From the article below:
"Meshael Alayban, 42, who prosecutors said
is one of the six wives of Saudi Prince Abdulrahman bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz al Saud
, was released Thursday after posting the hefty bail amount a day after her arrest."
One of six wifes???
Weird! In Islam, only a maximum of four wives are allowed (at the same time). Either a typo, or some of the women are already divorced from the Prince. Maybe Mrs. Alayban is one of the divorced wifes. That would also explain why it can be possible that she has no diplomatic passport at the moment. On the other hand, not until last year Californien has adopted this appropriate law. It's quite possible that it was also decided to abjudicate the immunity of diplomats when they are suspected to have acted contrary to this law.
Prince Abdulrahman bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz al Saud is one of the grandsons of the late first Saudi king. The grandfather of Prince Adulrahman had founded the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and ruled the country from 1932 to 1953.
