Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum has once again captured the public’s eye. It’s no news that the Dubai princess gained attention earlier this month with her Instagram post about seeking a divorce.
The truth is everyone wishes for royal life because it seems like a fairytale, but what about the real-life challenges that lurk behind the palace walls? Marriages in royal families face serious pressure and public scrutiny, and sometimes, these unions can fall under such weight.
On July 21, Sheikha Mahra shared an Instagram picture featuring her two-month-old daughter. In the picture, she was carrying her baby as they admired a painting of a white horse, accompanied by a simple white heart emoji in the caption.
Here’s everything we know about the Dubai Princess and her Instagram post, which caused a stir!
Who Is the Dubai Princess?
Sheikha Mahra, 30, is the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Zoe Grigorakos. Her father, Sheikh Mohammed, is the ruler of Dubai and the vice president and prime minister of the UAE. That’s a lot!

The Dubai princess is one of his 26 children. Known for her prominent public and social media presence, she regularly attends red-carpet events in Dubai and graces the covers of regional magazines—an unusual practice for female royals.
With nearly half a million followers on Instagram, she shares her interests, love for horses, charity work, and personal selfies. Her recent social media activity has drawn significant attention. Her post in which she publicly called for a divorce from her husband was a rare and bold move for a member of the royal family.
The Dubai Princess’s Marriage in the Spotlight
The Dubai princess married Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum in a lavish ceremony that captured the attention of magazines like Harper’s Bazaar Arabia and Grazia. Sadly, a little over two months later, the Dubai princess made headlines with an unexpected divorce announcement on social media.
On July 16, Sheikha Mahra took to Instagram to address her husband directly. She stated that she was declaring their divorce due to his involvement with other companions. She repeated the phrase, “I divorce you,” three times and concluded her message with, “Take care, your ex-wife.”
That Instagram message was pretty dramatic and surprising to those who are fans of their high-profile marriage.

Following her announcement, the Dubai princess removed all photos of her husband from her Instagram account, where she has 876,000 followers. That funny move has also caused many reactions from the public.
On the other hand, her husband seemed to follow suit by deleting pictures of her from his social media. Unlike the Dubai princess, Sheikh Mana has a less active online presence. In fact, his latest post was from April 10, where he was seen shaking hands with his father-in-law, Sheikh Mohammed, celebrating Eid al-Fitr.
So far, there has been no official comment from the royal family of Dubai regarding the reported divorce. Elsewhere, online users speculated that Dubai Princess’s account might have been hacked. But newsflash: both the Dubai princess, her husband’s account, and the controversial post remain active. So, you all are wrong this time!
CNN has sought comments from the Dubai government’s Media Office, which referred them to the Dubai Princess’ media office. Efforts to reach her media office have so far been unsuccessful. Neither the UAE government nor Sheikh Mana has publicly commented on the Instagram post.
Like his soon-to-be ex-wife, Sheikh Mana has also refused to comment publicly on the alleged divorce. It seems everyone is trying to keep this case low-key. Nonetheless, it seems as though Sheikha Mahra and their daughter are doing well!
