Dubai Princess Shaikha Mahra Announces Divorce on Instagram: A Look at the Royal Family’s Most Shocking Controversies

Shaikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has made headlines by publicly announcing her divorce from Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum. The announcement, made via Instagram, comes just two months after the birth of their first child. In a direct and bold statement, Shaikha Mahra wrote, “Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.”

The Dubai royal family, renowned for its opulence and influence, has also been entangled in multiple high-profile controversies that have sparked international attention. Here’s a deep dive into some of the most shocking scandals surrounding the family:

1. Princess Latifa’s Escape and Allegations of Abuse

One of the most widely publicized controversies emerged in 2018 when Princess Latifa, another daughter of Sheikh Mohammed, attempted to flee Dubai, citing repression and abuse. Her escape plan was foiled, and she was forcibly returned. A video she recorded before the attempt detailed allegations of imprisonment and torture, prompting global human rights organizations to rally for her release. According to BBC, Latifa had previously attempted to escape at age 16 but was caught and held in solitary confinement for over three years.

2. Princess Haya’s Legal Battle in the UK

In 2019, Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, the sixth wife of Sheikh Mohammed, fled to the United Kingdom with their two children, seeking legal protection. According to Reuters, Haya filed for protection against a forced marriage for one of her children and requested a non-molestation order. A London High Court ruling later confirmed that Sheikh Mohammed had orchestrated intimidation tactics against Haya, including surveillance using Pegasus spyware, as reported by Al Jazeera.

3. The Mysterious Disappearance of Princess Shamsa

Princess Shamsa, another daughter of Sheikh Mohammed, disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 2000. Reports indicate that she was abducted from Cambridge, UK, by four armed men and forcibly returned to Dubai on a private jet. According to The Guardian, Shamsa had previously evaded security at her father’s Longcross estate in Surrey before her disappearance. Her case resurfaced during Princess Haya’s legal battle, further exposing the royal family’s stringent control over its female members.

4. Pegasus Spyware Scandal

In one of the most shocking revelations, Sheikh Mohammed was accused of using Pegasus spyware to hack the phones of Princess Haya and her legal team during their court battle. A UK court ruled that the use of the spyware constituted an “unlawful abuse of power,” as reported by The Guardian. The incident raised major concerns over privacy violations and the extent of surveillance used by the royal family.

Conclusion: A Royal Family Under Global Scrutiny

The controversies surrounding Dubai’s royal family paint a stark contrast to their public image of luxury and progressive governance. From allegations of human rights abuses to invasive surveillance tactics, these incidents continue to draw international attention and criticism. As the world watches, the Dubai royal family remains under scrutiny, challenging the carefully curated narrative of their rule.

Dubai Princess Shaikha Mahra Announces Divorce on Instagram: A Look at the Royal Family's Most Controversial Moments

Shaikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has made headlines by publicly announcing her divorce from her husband, Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum. The announcement, made on her official Instagram account, comes just over two months after the birth of their first child.

Addressing her husband directly, the Dubai princess wrote, “Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.” The couple had tied the knot in May 2023, but their union has now come to an abrupt and highly publicized end.

While Dubai’s royal family is often associated with wealth, power, and opulence, it has also been at the center of multiple controversies over the years. Beneath the surface of its grandeur, several incidents have raised concerns about the treatment of women in the royal household. Here’s a look at some of the most significant controversies:

1. The Escape and Captivity of Princess Latifa

In 2018, Princess Latifa, one of Sheikh Mohammed’s daughters, attempted to flee Dubai, citing years of repression and abuse. Her escape attempt, which involved an elaborate plan to leave by boat, was intercepted, and she was forcibly returned to Dubai. Before her escape, Latifa recorded a video detailing her claims of imprisonment and torture, which sparked global outcry and calls for her freedom. Human rights organizations continue to advocate for her release.

Latifa’s history of attempted escapes dates back to her teenage years. According to a BBC report, she first tried to flee at the age of 16 by crossing into Oman but was captured, imprisoned, and allegedly subjected to solitary confinement and mistreatment for over three years.

2. Princess Haya’s High-Profile Escape to the UK

Another scandal emerged in 2019 when Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, the sixth wife of Sheikh Mohammed, fled to the United Kingdom with her two children. She sought legal protection against forced marriage for one of her children and requested a non-molestation order.

During legal proceedings in London’s High Court, it was revealed that Sheikh Mohammed had subjected Haya to intimidation, surveillance, and threats. According to Reuters, the court found that he had orchestrated the abduction and mistreatment of two of his daughters from a previous marriage and had used Israeli Pegasus spyware to hack the phones of Princess Haya and her legal team. These revelations painted a chilling picture of the control exerted over women within the royal family.

3. The Mysterious Disappearance of Princess Shamsa

The case of Princess Shamsa, another daughter of Sheikh Mohammed, remains one of the most unsettling mysteries surrounding the royal family. In 2000, Shamsa was abducted from the streets of Cambridge, UK, by armed men and transported back to Dubai via private jet.

Reports indicate that she had previously managed to escape from the family’s estate in Surrey, but her newfound freedom was short-lived. Since her disappearance, little is known about her fate, and her case resurfaced during Princess Haya’s legal battle, further highlighting the recurring pattern of female royals attempting to flee oppressive conditions.

4. The Use of Pegasus Spyware

The Dubai royal family’s controversies took an even darker turn with revelations about the use of Pegasus spyware. A UK High Court ruling confirmed that Sheikh Mohammed had unlawfully used the software to hack the phone of his ex-wife, Princess Haya, and members of her legal team.

According to The Guardian, the Dubai ruler’s use of invasive technology raised serious concerns about privacy, surveillance, and the extent to which he was willing to go to monitor and control those who opposed him.

A Family Under Scrutiny

These incidents have cast a shadow over the carefully curated image of Dubai’s royal family. While the emirate continues to position itself as a beacon of progress and luxury, these controversies underscore the stark contrast between public perception and the reality faced by some of its own members. As international scrutiny grows, questions remain about the future of the royal family and the fate of those who dare to defy its power.

Despite Dubai’s image as a hub of luxury and innovation, the pattern of suppression and surveillance among female members of the royal family challenges the carefully curated public narrative.

Princess Haya's Husband Discovers Affair with Bodyguard

An insider has claimed that Dubai’s ruler found his estranged wife Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein with her British bodyguard during a surprise visit to their London home, and suspected the two had “inappropriate contact” with one another.

In May this year, Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum was attending a joint wedding of his three sons in Dubai when he unexpectedly returned to his $106m British mansion, Daily Mail reports.

According to family sources, the king was “shocked” to see his wife with the bodyguard and immediately demanded her to return with him to Dubai. Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, 45, reportedly refused to do so and is now embroiled in Britain’s most expensive divorce.

According to certain publications, the Dubai ruler also found strips of used condoms beside Haya’s bed as well as two glasses, proving the romantic couple were having sex in the bedroom while their children were in the next room. These claims are, however, unconfirmed.

It is being claimed that the billionaire racehorse owner was already skeptical about the relationship between his wife and the former serviceman who provided security detail to the royal family.

According to The Times, Haya Bint Al Hussein lavished several gifts on the bodyguard that raised eyebrows among senior royals, who did not approve of the closeness between the two.

“The Sheikh came back to the house unannounced and found his wife with the bodyguard. His suspicions were confirmed,” a source told the outlet. “Having left for his sons’ wedding he was not expected to be back so early. He did not tell the staff he would be coming back and arrived unannounced at the house where he found his wife and the bodyguard. They were too close for his liking.”

But the Times report also suggested the Sheikh’s suspicions were unfounded.

Following the Haya Bint Al Hussein’s refusal to go along, the billionaire flew home to Dubai while his wife and two young children remained in London. He would later post a poem online alluding to the alleged relationship.

“You betrayer, you betrayed the most precious trust, and your game has been revealed,” he wrote.

Al Maktoum had reportedly left his wife and kids behind to attend his eldest son Prince Hamdan’s wedding on May 15, where his two other sons Sheikh Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and Sheikh Ahmad were also wed in a joint ceremony.

Later this month, Haya Bint Al Hussein will appear in court to initiate the most expensive divorce in the UK, with the pair hiring top lawyers, it is claimed.

According to Daily Mail, Haya Bint Al Hussein has called on Fiona Shackleton, the attorney who handled the divorce of Princess Diana from Prince Charles.

The report further stated the estranged couple is also battling in court for custody of their children.

Senior members of the Dubai royal court reportedly became concerned about the “inappropriate intimacy” between the princess and the unidentified bodyguard, sources told Daily Mail. They also claimed the bodyguard is unlikely to ever return to the UAE and shall remain in London after being found with the princess.

According to previous claims, Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein fled from Dubai after spending months “meticulously” planning her escape. She allegedly feared she would face the same fate as Princess Latifa. The daughter of the billionaire sheikh, with another one of his six wives, was reportedly captured as she tried to get away and dragged back to Dubai.

She later claimed in a video that her escape bid was discovered and was subsequently held on her father’s orders.

That said, the bodyguard in question allegedly informed Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein about her husband’s ill-treatment of Princess Latifa, 33, saying she was allegedly imprisoned and tortured after an escape attempt during her teens and was forced to return to Dubai once again last year after another failed escape.

According to the report, the bodyguard allegedly relayed “disturbing facts” to the Princess, thus inspiring her decision to file for a divorce.

“We hope that when this reaches the High Court the truth about the appalling treatment of Princess Latifa finally comes out,” David Haigh from the Free Latifa Campaign said. “Haya Bint Al Hussein is a crucial witness and one person who can tell the world what has happened to Latifa.”

Haya Bint Al Hussein is currently said to be hiding with her children in her own mansion that overlooks Kensington Palace. She is now the subject of unprecedented legal action by her husband, who is reportedly trying to obtain a court order to have his children flown back to Dubai.
