Donati, arrested in Italy last September, wore an Armani tracksuit at Isleworth crown court, West London, as he admitted the 2019 break-in.

He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced later.

Co-defendant Jugoslav Jovanovic, 24, appeared in court via video link on Monday, when he did not formally enter a plea.

Alesandro Maltese, 44, is also charged with involvement and will be in court later this month.

Last month, Petra slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “wanting privacy” - and said “all they’ve done is interviews.”

The youngest daughter of former Formula One mogul, Bernie Ecclestone, made the comments after their tell-all explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Petra, 33, said: "They said they wanted privacy and they didn't want to be famous and they didn't want to do interviews. But all they've done since is basically do interviews."
