Murray was suing Mdivani for $1000 a month support for their son. While on the stand, Mdivani reacted strongly when questioned about whether or not he was a "prince of royal blood." Mdivani asserted that he was not a prince, he only inherited the title through custom from his father, but he was not born of a king.
