An Emirati royal was discovered unconscious on a London street after cocaine use while caring for a three-year-old.

Mahrah Al Nahyan, 32, a member of Abu Dhabi's ruling royal family through marriage, was discovered unconscious on a busy London street in west London on 13 June. She had taken cocaine in the days before the incident and remained unresponsive for around 30 minutes. A barefoot three-year-old in her care was playing unsupervised near the road with a scooter and a toy plane.

Members of the public raised the alarm after noticing the child was unattended, without shoes, and in close proximity to moving traffic. They stayed with the child until police arrived at around 1.50pm. Video footage showed Al Nahyan slumped against railings beside an unconscious man lying on his back.

When Al Nahyan awoke, she shouted at officers and those around her: 'This is not a slaughterhouse, why do you care so much? Why are you so worried?' Police found drug paraphernalia in her possessions but no illegal substances. Al Nahyan admitted one charge of child neglect and has been undergoing drug addiction treatment at a rehab clinic since the incident.
