This is the season 2 FINALE! A special thank you to Samantha for requesting this story. In 2018, a young woman, a member of a royal family, attempted to escape in fear for her own life. She also had a history of making prior escape attempts, which were unsuccessful. After her escape attempt in 2018, she disappeared entirely from public view. The public was in fear of the princess's safety. Was she alive? Was she being held captive somewhere? What was going on with this royal family? In 2021, images began to resurface online of the princess. Today we are discussing one of the most high-profile and mysterious cases involving a member of a royal family in recent years. This is the story of Princess Latifa.
