Royal Breakup: Dubai Princess’ Divorce Announcement On Instagram Shocks The World
In a remarkable and unprecedented move for UAE royalty, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has taken to Instagram to announce her divorce.
The daughter of Dubai’s ruler and UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum shared the news with her 691,000 followers on the popular social media platform.
“Since you are engaged with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce,” Sheikha Mahra, 30, stated in her post. “I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.”
The princess married fellow royal Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum in 2023, and they now share a daughter.
Sheikha Mahra’s forthright and unfiltered message signals a significant shift from the traditionally private handling of such matters within the UAE’s royal family. Her strong social media presence has enabled her to reach a vast audience, highlighting her readiness to utilize modern communication channels for personal announcements.
