Residents of the famous Louveciennes commune reacted to news that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was the mystery buyer of the $320 million Chateau Louis XIV.

On Sunday it was revealed that the identity of the mystery buyer was none other than Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, heir to the Saudi throne.
