Daughter of a Sheikh - Dubai princess announces husband's divorce - on Instagram
"It is a very modern break-up, which seems to be happening just as privately as virtually. Sheikh Mahra bint Mohammed Al Maktoum surprised everyone recently with a clear statement on Instagram. She addressed her former husband, Sheikh Mansour Al Maktoum, with the following words:
"Dear husband, since you are engaged with other lovers, I hereby announce our divorce. I am divorcing you. I am divorcing you and I am divorcing you. Goodbye. Your ex-wife", wrote the 30-year-old. She repeated it three times what she intended.
Princess Mahra Announces Divorce on Instagram
Photos of her husband and snapshots of their shared life are no longer to be found on her profile. A clear cut. In late May of last year, they announced on Instagram that they had signed the "Katb Al-Kitaab" – the official marriage contract. In October of the same year, they shared the happy news: The newlyweds were expecting a child. For the birth announcement in May of this year, the Sheikha also used Instagram. The newborn girl was named Mahra, just like her mother.
The peaceful happiness of the little family apparently did not last long. In the comments under her divorce announcement on Instagram, the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Dubai, received a lot of support.
"I find it inspiring when a woman recognizes her worth and stands up for herself", so an Instagram user. "Stay strong, Princess. Your father raised you well and you are the daughter of a king. Keep a cool head and no matter how difficult it gets, your people will love you", so another.
Again, others speculate about how a divorce could come about and what regulations the two may have agreed upon in their marriage contract."

Ms. Mahra, now a divorcee, no longer shares photos of her married life on Instagram, following her public announcement. Despite the divorce, the support for her decision was overwhelming on the platform, with users praising her strength and self-worth, acknowledging her royal lineage as the daughter of the ruler of Dubai.
