Dubai Princess Announces Divorce from Husband in Shocking Instagram Post
18.07.2024: In a stunning turn of events, Shaikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, daughter of Dubai’s ruler, has publicly announced her divorce from Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum on Instagram.
The princess’s message was direct and unequivocal: “I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.”
A Public Split
This announcement comes just over two months after the couple welcomed their first child. In her Instagram post, the Dubai princess expressed her discontent with her husband’s attentions being elsewhere:
“Dear Husband,” she wrote. “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.”
Social Media Frenzy
The news has ignited social media, with many noticing that the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed all photos of each other from their profiles. Speculations are rife, with some suggesting the princess’s account might have been hacked, while others believe it to be a deliberate public declaration.
Comments poured in, ranging from support to curiosity. One user commented, “Bad news. God bless you,” while another wrote, “I am proud. Your Decision.” A third user applauded the princess for her “courage and bravery”, acknowledging the challenges of such a public life change.
Questions Arise
Among the reactions, questions about the divorce process surfaced. One user inquired, “But the divorce will occur from Husband’s side, right? And Wife has to choose Khul’?”
From Wedding Bliss to Separation
The couple tied the knot in May last year and celebrated the arrival of their daughter 12 months later. Ms. Sheikha Mahra had previously shared the joy of her childbirth experience, thanking her medical team and sharing tender moments of her husband cradling their newborn.
Hints of Trouble
Just weeks prior to the divorce announcement, the princess had posted a cryptic message on Instagram, cuddling with her baby and captioning it, “Just the two of us.” Many now wonder if this was a subtle hint at underlying marital issues.
