Dubai princess Sheikha Mahra divorces husband via explosive Instagram post: ‘You’re occupied with other companions'
Dubai princess Sheikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum married Sheikh Mana in May last year.
Sheikha Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the daughter of the ruler of Dubai, has put an explosive post on Instagram, declaring “divorce” from her husband, a little over two months after they welcomed their first child.
“Dear husband, 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,” the Dubai princess wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
She has also removed photos with her husband from Instagram.
Sheikha Mahra married Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum, an Emirati businessman, in May last year. A year later, they welcomed a daughter. Sheikh Mana, who is in his 20s, has multiple business ventures.
In May this year, the Dubai princess had released photos from the hospital moments after childbirth. She had thanked her doctor and the hospital staff for ensuring she got the "most memorable experience for bringing baby Mahra to this world”.
Her husband was seen standing by her side, as the newborn lay on its mother's chest. Sheikh Mana was seen holding his daughter in one of the now-deleted photos his wife had posted.
The couple had a gender reveal party in February.
