Diplomatic officials from more than 180 countries owe New York City over $16 million in unpaid parking tickets, demonstrating the challenge of collecting on violations more than a decade old.

In the ACT (where most foreign diplomats are located), if you don't pay a parking fine, the government can cancel your license and/or registration. In the case of unpaid parking fines for diplomats who don't necessarily have an Australian driver's license (and many of them show that they probably don't have a license in their "home" country either - but that's another story), the government would potentially cancel the "DC" registration in lieu of payment - in reality, the fine would possibly be withdrawn, but repeat offenders may eventually be asked to leave the country. New York possibly doesn't have these same back up penalties, so it's doubtful what happens there, happens here.

can you imaging Prince William driving down the M1 speeding and behind him is his security detail how many police officers would risk giving him a ticket
when he becomes King he will r ember that and get the police officer sent of to some remote cold windy Barron island some where on top of Scotland The problem with diplomats can be seen in several episodes of yes minister and yes Prime Ministe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_Minister

But I guess Prince Charles and Prince William are always escorted an don official business where they can speed. The princess was not under Police escort so not exempt.
