Britain's Princess Michael of Kent left motorists fuming after her chauffeur caused a traffic-jam by parking on double yellow lines.
The royal - nicknamed Princess Pushy because of her demanding antics - was dropped off at a party in London's prestigious district of Knightsbridge by a chauffeur-driven Bentley.
The vehicle then parked illegally and waited outside the interior design boutique for nearly an hour.
According to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, cars, motorbikes and cyclists were forced to maneuver around the obstacle, causing traffic to pile up.
One driver fumed: "'It was lucky no one in a wheelchair came along or they would have been forced onto the road to get around the car.
"It's a very busy street to park like that for even a few minutes, let alone over half an hour. It could easily have caused a collision."
Other angry motorists shouted at the female chauffeur to move on but she reportedly ignored the shouts and continued to talk on her mobile phone.
Near-by parking spaces became clear but the driver reportedly refused to budge until the princess left the party.
