In a rare and candid move this July, Sheikha Mahra shared her divorce announcement from His Highness Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum on her Instagram.

The post read: “Dear Husband, As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you. I divorce, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.”

This bold and public declaration was a direct expression of her emotional state and was one of the few instances where a royal figure shared something so personal with the world.
