A friend of Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has allegedly been involved in a nightclub brawl.
Till Bechtolsheimer - who knows the royal couple through his sister Olympic gold medallist Laura Bechtolsheimer - got into an altercation after he was accidentally pushed by fellow clubber Daniel Kurkowski at the Dream Hotel in New York City last month.
Till's girlfriend Julia Kadioglu reportedly made matters worse as she smashed a bottle of lager over Daniel's head after the fight broke out, which left him with a nasty cut.
Julia - who graduated from St Andrews University at the same time as Prince William and Duchess Catherine - was reportedly escorted out of the swanky premises in handcuffs.
However, she was later released without bail after her arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Her lawyer Benjamin Yu told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "My client insists on her innocence. She's indignant she was even arrested."
Till is the grandson of billionaire real-estate baron Karl-Heinz Kipp and the royal couple - who have seven-month-old son Prince George - are close friends with the Kipp family.
Last year, Prince William, 31, and Duchess Catherine, 32, attended the wedding of Laura and her beau Mark Tomlinson, which took place at the Swiss Alps in Switzerland.

Britain's Duchess of Cambridge has become a godmother.
The 32-year-old royal has taken motherhood in her stride since giving birth to her son Prince George seven months ago, and now she's been chosen by a close friend to be a godparent to their child.
The brunette beauty was given the official title on Sunday (16.02.14) when she attended the baptism service with her husband Prince William and their son George at the St Barnabas Church in Mayland, Chelmsford, in Essex, South East England.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, reverend Ken Dunstan said: "I think my usual congregation were surprised at who was joining us. I don't normally pay a huge amount of attention to godparents as long as the godparents are there and willing to make the appropriate promises."
He added: "She was there as a godparent not as a princess."
It is believed Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before she married William in 2011 - knew the parents from university.
Reverend Ken explained: "The couple said they wanted four godparents but weren't quite sure whether one would be available.
"Then later the father rang me to say the other godmother is available, it's a friend from uni. Then he told me who it was.
"I got the impression that a number of the congregation had been to the same university."
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also chose one of their pals from university Oliver Baker to be Prince George's godfather.
