The bond between a mother and daughter is like no other, as exemplified with these Arab royals.
In honour of having just marked Mother’s Day, GRAZIA takes you through the touching moments and words Arab royals shared with their mothers and daughters throughout the year.
From celebrating momentous occasions, to simple days spent together, the Arab region’s commitment to family shines through their monarch role models.
Sheikha Moza
Posted exactly a year ago on Mother’s Day these Qatari royals are a favoured mother-daughter duo in the Arab region. With the riveting Doha World cup in the background, Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser poses with her beloved daughter HE Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani. Captioned “Every year you are a symbol of giving,” the princess has clearly followed in the footsteps of her philanthropic mother as the operating Vice Chairperson and CEO of the Qatar Foundation (QF).
Queen Rania
One of the most prominent figures in Arab region, when she’s not taking a stance against injustices and amplifying fashion brands, Queen Rania is a mother first and foremost to her four children. In a birthday post for both Princess Iman and Princess Salma, she remarks that she “couldn’t have asked for better besties.” Building joyful bonds with her daughters, she shares snippets of each achievement and milestone they cross to her 10 million plus followers on Instagram.
Sheikha Mahra
Her Highness Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum regularly posts photos of herself with her mother, Zoe Grigorakos, on Instagram. The royal shared a particularly special post about her mother on her wedding day last year with a simple, yet powerful caption saying: “My everything ❤️.” As she’s about to become a mother herself, we’re sure this Mother’s Day was a particularly poignant one for the Dubai sheikha.
SHIEKHA MAJDA
Sheikha Majda Al Sabah previously praised her royal mum in a past Mother’s day post. Affectionately leaning on her shoulder, the Kuwaiti royal gushed about the guidance and light her mother extends to the entire family. Daughter of HH Sheikha Amthal Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the two smiled and embraced one another in this cheery picture.
SHEIKHA LATIFA
While she’s a prominent figurehead in Dubai, Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a doting mother first and foremost to her four children – two sons and two daughters.
