Dubai Royals News and Pictures

[bumbershoot]

I think I have a bit of a hard time being interested in, much less keeping track of, some of the various Middle Eastern royalty.  Seems like they all have zillions of dollars of oil money, live extravagant lifestyles -- albeit somewhat privately for the women -- and most of the women are under pretty tight control. Anyone else?

Rita are they related?

Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana al Maktoum

Sheikh Mana
> bin (the son of) Mohammed
> bin (Mohammed, son of) Rashid
> bin (Rashid, son of) Mana
> al Maktoum (the family of Maktoum)


Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Sheikha Mahra
> bint (daughter of) Mohammed
> bin (son of) Rashid
> al Maktoum (the family of Maktoum)


is that correct? In this case, are Mohammed and Rashid the same people? Or are these two different al Maktoum branches? Thank you.

The House of Maktoum (Arabic: آل مكتوم Āl Maktūm) is the ruling royal family of the Emirate of Dubai, and one of the six ruling families of the United Arab Emirates. The family is a branch of the Bani Yas clan (a lineage the family shares with the Al Nahyan dynasty of Abu Dhabi), which is a branch of the Al Bu Falasah section of the Bani Yas, a tribal federation that was the dominant power through the region that now forms the United Arab Emirates.

The married Shaykhas are all over the place! Paris and London and some places in the Alps are full of them. Many spend months of their hot summer in Hotels abroad or own houses in Europe, complete with friends and servants. They are the ones that buy the Dior and Yves St. Laurent stuff made to order and keep entire brands going. These are not poor locked up houswifes!

Sheikha Latifa, Daughter of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (@soylati ) first social media appearance since 2018.

Sheikha Latifa Said in her first Instagram post since 2018 “I was recently made aware of media inquiries for a piece which casts doubt on my freedom because I have not spoken publicly about what has happened. I gave statements via my lawyers and posted personal travel photos with friends and family thinking that it would be enough.”

Heart-breaking. And as usual EII and her family showcasing their moral indefference to everyone else:

The Fugitive Princesses of Dubai

As the emirate’s ruler espoused gender equality, four royal women staked their lives on escaping his control.

For more than half her life, Latifa had been devising plans to flee her father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the leader of Dubai and the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. Sheikh Mohammed is an ally of Western governments, celebrated for transforming Dubai into a modern power. Publicly, he has placed gender equality at the heart of his plan to propel the U.A.E. to the top of the world economic order, vowing to “remove all the hurdles that women face.” But for his daughter Dubai was “an open air prison,” where disobedience was brutally punished.

In her teens, Latifa had been ferociously beaten for defying her father. As an adult, she was forbidden to leave Dubai and kept under the constant surveillance of guards. Escape presented a challenge of “unfathomable immensity,” Latifa knew. “It will be the best or last thing I do,” she wrote. “I have never known true freedom. For me, it’s something worth dying for.” (I have drawn details of Latifa’s experience from hundreds of letters, e-mails, texts, and audio messages that she sent to friends in the course of a decade.)
