Lakshmi Mittal, will be selling one of his Kensington Palace Gardens, to Princess Haya of Jordan for £85 million.
Mittal had bought the highly-priced property (in the mega-rich location) from an Isreali-American banker, for his son Aditya Mittal but Aditya never lived there.
Based near the Isreali embassy and opposite the home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Kensington Palace, the residence is fit for a princess with a special storage room for art, a silver room, and a floor dedicated to bedrooms and flowers.
Princess Haya of Jordon is the daughter of late King Hussein of Jordon and the fourth wife of Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Vice President of the UAE. She is also an Oxford University graduate, a UN Messenger of Peace and a member of the International Olympic Committee, the only Arab woman to compete at world, continental and Olympic level in show-jumping.
She was keen on the house as she had fond memories of the road when she was growing up.
The Mittals, who had three properties on the road are holding on to their other two addresses, one belonging to Lakshmi Mittal's daughter Vanisha Mittal and the larger property, dubbed as the “Taj Mittal” belonging to him. Kensington is home to some of Britain's richest people, including top notch business tycoons and members of Saudi Arabia's royal family.
