Cape Town – Amelia Spencer (18), the cousin of Princes William and Harry, is expected to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Tuesday on charges of assault.
Spencer is the daughter of Earl Charles Spencer, princess Diana's brother.
The incident occurred on December 29 at the fast food restaurant McDonald's in Green Point.
Mr William Booth, a well-known Cape Town attorney, will be representing Spencer in court.
"We have all our papers in order and will present our case to the court today (Tuesday)," Booth said on Monday.
Started swearing
It was reported earlier that Spencer (18) and Mr Ricci Cinti (27), former president FW de Klerk's neighbour in Fresnaye, Cape Town, came to blows on December 29, 2010, at the McDonald's in Green Point.
Cinti allegedly pushed into the line ahead of Spencer at the drive-through for vehicles.
The incident occurred at 02:30.
Spencer reportedly became annoyed and started swearing at Cinti, who was in a taxi when it skipped the line.
According to reports, Spencer got out of her car and banged against the bodywork of the taxi before she cursed Cinti – who in the meanwhile climbed out of the taxi.
Unconscious
Cinti, who was walking with crutches due to a sports injury, lost his balance during the argument, fell and hit his head on the ground.
He was unconscious for a while after he fell.
He was rushed to a local hospital where he underwent a brain scan.
An unknown friend of Spencer, who was with her in the car when the incident occurred, was also involved according to reports.
Spencer and her friend got in their car and drove away, but not before bystanders photographed the registration number.
A complaint of assault was later made at the Sea Point police station.
Spencer was arrested on January 7, 2011, and released with a warning. Her friend's involvement with the incident is being investigated and he will possibly appear in court on Tuesday on the same charges.
