      If there’s one thing to know about the Crown Prince of Dubai, it is that he will experience every country he visits like a local.
      As a royalty, one may expect him to carry the same energy across the globe — but to everyone’s surprise, the beloved Prince of Dubai loves experiencing the city or the town he is visiting like a local.

      Recently, HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum was spotted in a grocery store in London, shopping for everyday necessities, along with his twin babies, Sheikh Rashid and Sheikha Shaikha.
      Just like any other doting father, the Crown Prince of Dubai was seen indulging his twins in some everyday shopping, while pushing them around happily in the grocery cart.
      After digging through the archives, Emirates Woman has curated a list of all the potential places to add to your bucket list from Sheikh Hamdan’s feed.
      United Kingdom

      Sheikh Hamdan has been seen in London quite a few times over the years and even recently made a visit with his twins, Rashid and Shaika, to the Godolphin stables. Having previously studied at Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Fazza has a strong connection to the UK and is often seen taking a trip to one of his favourite destinations.
      Tanzania

      Exploring both nature and immersing himself in the culture, Sheikh Hamdan’s picture-perfect safari trip to Tanzania looked beyond idyllic. While being surrounded by wildlife, the thrill-seeker shared a series of clips while jumping over a large pool of water. He also  explored the dense forests. The trip was indeed an adventurous one with all the outdoor activities the royal was seen trying out.
      Japan

      In 2019, Sheikh Hamdan made a visit east to Japan. Regarded as a highly-trained fitness enthusiast, the Dubai royal was seen posing with bronze sculptures of rugby player Michael Leitch and sumo wrestler Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi. He was also captured taking some classes and trying some delicious food. He’s undoubtedly ticked off a host of must-visit venues on his trip to Japan. From grazing through the enchanted streets or travelling by the high-speed bullet train to Tokyo, make a note of all the must-dos on your next trip.
      South Korea

      Nearly three years ago, in 2019, Sheikh Hamdan paid a visit to Seoul in South Korea. He posted a photo of himself in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of the country’s must-visit attractions. Along with his Uncle Saeed, they visited historic spots in the city, as well as enjoyed matcha milkshakes, a very popular drink of choice in East Asia.
      Estonia

      In 2018, Sheikh Hamdan took his riding skills international, participating in a 160km endurance race in Estonia. During his travels in the Eastern European country, he cycled in Estonia along with his friend Saeed Jabber Al Harbi.
      Uzbekistan

      There’s no doubt, that Sheikh Hamdan is always seen posing in the great outdoors. His recent trip to Uzbekistan in November 2021 consisted of all the engaging activities. It included camping, falconry, exploring nature and also visiting some of the local residents in the country.
      USA

      Back in 2018, Dubai’s Crown Prince travelled to the USA visiting popular cities like Chicago and New York City.
      Denmark

      Spotted on this self-governing archipelago, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Faroe Islands is known for its picturesque coastal cliffs and gorgeous open skies. Seen taking a selfie with nature, this popular photo was all over social media.
      Canada

      Exploring the peaks of British Columbia, the royal was seen enjoying this snow-filled holiday on Canada’s ski slopes back in 2019. This stunning wintry escape is everything one looks for in the cooler months. Snowboarding, snow-cover buildings and spruce trees were some of the elements which truly made this holiday complete.
      Italy

      Seen posing in the popular frame shot with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sheikh Hamdan visited Italy in 2017, as the snap was captured with perfect precision. From relishing some delicious pasta to walking on the cobbled steps, this beautiful destination is one to add to your list too.

      Amidst a wave of public concern and well-wishes, the royal household finds itself once again thrust into the limelight with the revelation that Kate, the beloved Princess of Wales, is battling a health challenge.

      In a heartfelt video message released recently, the Princess disclosed that she has commenced chemotherapy following a major abdominal surgery, the details of which have been closely guarded by the palace.
      The announcement comes at a time when the monarchy is already grappling with the news of King Charles, her father-in-law, also undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. This double blow to the royal family has prompted an outpouring of support from across the nation and beyond, with messages of solidarity flooding social media platforms and well-wishers expressing their hopes for a swift and complete recovery for both royals.
      For Kate, the journey towards her diagnosis has been shrouded in secrecy, with the type of cancer she faces remaining undisclosed. However, her courage in sharing her story and her determination to undergo treatment with the unwavering support of her husband, Prince William, has been met with admiration and respect from the public.
      In her poignant address, filmed at Windsor, Kate expressed gratitude for the support of her family and the efforts made to shield her children from the full extent of her health battle. She emphasized her commitment to focusing on her recovery and urged others facing similar challenges not to lose hope, assuring them that they are not alone in their fight against the disease.
      Despite the setbacks and challenges, the resilience and strength displayed by Kate and her family serve as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to duty and service. As they embark on this journey towards healing, the thoughts and prayers of the nation are with them, united in hope for brighter days ahead.
