      Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-ever reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, has died aged 96.
      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai offered his heartfelt condolences to the British royal family minutes after the news was shared by The Royal Family on Twitter.
      In his message, Sheikh Mohammed said, “We join the world in mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, a global icon who represented the finest qualities of her nation and people. Her incredible life of service and duty to the United Kingdom is unparalleled in our modern world.”

      — HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) September 8, 2022

      Buckingham Palace confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement, this evening.
      “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” the statement read. “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
      Her Majesty had a monumental life, devoted to the service of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations.
      The Prince of Wales, who is now king, succeeds his late mother as monarch. The late Queen laid out her hopes for the future when she marked her Platinum Jubilee.
      The Queen’s reign and influence across the global stage for over seven decades was nothing short of iconic and we hope she may rest in peace.

      Justin Bieber’s latest post explains why he cancels upcoming concerts in Dubai

      While beliebers were gearing up to see Justin Bieber live, the singer’s latest post came as sad news to all his fans.
      The singer made an official announcement cancelling his upcoming concerts due to health concerns. He has been in battling Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome for months and after making a public announcement in June 2022, he still decided to go ahead with more shows until now.
      Booked to perform on October 8 and 9 at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena for his Justice World Tour, an official statement is yet to be released by the organisers regarding the cancellation of the two shows.

      After Bieber’s performance at Rock in Rio last weekend, he experienced severe exhaustion, which led him to cancel his forthcoming concerts that are scheduled to take place later this, also leaving the ‘North America leg’ of the Justice Tour incomplete.
      His statement said, “As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour. After resting end consulting with doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour.”
      “I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better. I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of justice to the world,” he continued.
      The singer has been thankful for the support of his fans and ended with “Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this! I love you all passionately!”
      What is Ramsay Hunt Syndrome?

      In the video Bieber shared unveiling his condition to his fans, the singer showcased how he wasn’t able to move one side of his face.“As you can see, this eye is not blinking,” Bieber said. “I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move.”
      “So, there’s full paralysis on this side of my face. So for those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously, not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious, as you can see,” he added.
      Per the Mayo Clinic, the condition Bieber is suffering from is Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is also known to cause chickenpox and shingles.
      The virus causes irritation and inflammation of facial nerves, leading to facial palsy and a rash affecting the ear or mouth. The extreme symptoms of this syndrome can include a painful rash inside the ear canal and outside the ear, at times attacking the tongue and roof of the mouth, along with vertigo and tinnitus.

      Sotheby’s makes history in Dubai with a rare $21 million estimated pink diamond

      It’s not every day that you come across a rare 11-carat pink diamond.
      One of the leading auction houses, Sotheby’s is here to change that with the second largest internally flawless that’s all set to be unveiled at the Dubai Diamond Exchange tour in Dubai.
      The “Williamson Pink Star” comes as a cushion-shaped stone and is named after its record-breaking predecessor, which was presented as a gift to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1947. The 59.6 carat oval mixed-cut diamond was sold for a$71.2 million in April 2017 at a Sotheby’s exhibition achieving the title of the world auction record of any diamond, gemstone of jewel until today.

      “The discovery of gem-quality pink diamond of any size is an extremely rare occurrence,” said Chairman of Jewellery and Watches at Sotheby’s Asia, Wenhao Yu. “Driven by a limited supply and rising demand, prices for top-quality large pink diamonds over 5 carats have increased exponentially.”
      After delving into its rarity, the experts concluded that only five percent of diamonds are coloured, out of which only three percent are pink, thereby making this one of the most prestigious displays to take place.

      By making its rounds around the world, this diamond will next be displayed in Singapore, Taipei and lastly Hong Kong in a standalone auction on October 5, 2022.
      If you want to witness it in person, this diamond is on display for the public in The Monogram Room at the Four Seasons in DIFC. Visit sothebys.com to book a viewing.
