The daughter of the ruler of Dubai gave birth to a girl last week and released photos from the hospital moments after childbirth. Sheikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, thanked her doctor and the staff at Dubai's Latifa Hospital for what she termed as the "most memorable experience for bringing baby Mahra to this world”.
The raw moments from the birthing room show the princess holding the newborn to her chest. The baby is still covered in vernix from the womb as she latches on to her mother.
Sheikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum's husband Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum is seen standing by her side. He holds his daughter in one of the photos.

"Just the three of us," Sheikha Mahra wrote on Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of an ultrasound scan, according to a Grazia report. Her husband shared it on his Instagram Stories.
