Alongside the video, the 37-year-old Crown Prince also posted some poetic words in Arabic which translate into: “Brotherhood feelings of love inspire him. The word ‘brother’ spoken from the mouth of my brother is the sweetest thing someone’s lips could say.”
On September 18, 2015, Sheikh Rashid tragically died of a heart attack.
The royal – and eldest son of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and the Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE – was just 33-years-old.
At the time of Sheikh Rashid’s sudden death, UAE President Sheikh Khalifa declared three days of mourning across the country, with flags lowered to half-mast.
