Dubai Princess Publicly Demands 'Divorce' From Cheating Royal Husband In Blunt Instagram Post

In an unexpected move, Her Highness Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Dubai princess, addressed her husband's infidelity on Instagram, declaring their divorce.

Sheikha Mahra, who is daughter of the UAE Vice President and Prime Minister, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, wrote a scathing and short message to her husband.

 “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.”

Following the announcement, fans noticed that the royal couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed all photos of each other from their profiles.

Some followers mentioned that they had "blocked" each other, while others speculated that Sheikha Mahra’s account might have been hacked. Despite the rumors, the post quickly garnered tens of thousands of likes.

This shocking news comes just over a year after Sheikha Mahra and Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum tied the knot. The couple announced their engagement on March 22, 2023, and exchanged vows in a traditional Islamic marriage ceremony on May 28, 2023, followed by a lavish wedding reception in June.

They welcomed their first child, a baby girl also named named Mahra, in May 2024.

People were immediately taken with the example she set for all women to find their self worth and stand by it.
