Dubai Princess Announces Shocking Divorce on Instagram
Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has announced her divorce from Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum on Instagram.
The 30-year-old princess took to social media to express her feelings, hinting at her husband’s infidelity. “Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce,” Sheikha Mahra wrote. “I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.”
The couple’s engagement was announced in March last year, and they were married in May 2023. They hosted a luxurious reception in Dubai the following month, where Sheikha Mahra dazzled in a white embroidered ballgown.
This announcement comes just two months after the birth of their daughter. Sheikha Mahra had previously shared news of their pregnancy on October 18, 2023, and celebrated her 30th birthday with a pink-themed gender reveal in February.
The princess announced the birth of their daughter on May 9 via Instagram, posting a photo of the newborn’s tiny hand. On June 4, she shared a selfie of herself and her daughter snuggling with the caption, “Just the two of us.”
Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, 75, who also serves as the vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has not publicly commented on his daughter’s declaration.
