      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is no stranger to sharing tidbits of his family life with his loyal fans.
      Having shared some snippets from his summer holiday in the UK with twins Rashid and Shaikha, the Crown Prince of Dubai is also spending quality time with his father, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
      Sheikh Hamdan, affectionately known as Fazza, shared a snap on Instagram with his father and his two children spending time together in the UK.
      In the forefront of the photo twins Rashid and Shaikha are seen sitting in a pushchair, with doting dad Sheikh Hamdan and grandfather Sheikh Mohammed behind.

      Last week, he posted a few snaps from his recent outing with his horses in the countryside where his son Rashid accompanied him.

      In the first photograph, the little one is seen with his dad petting one of the horses at the stable. But it’s the second photo which shows just how grown-up Fazza’s son has gotten as he was seen holding his dad’s hand, walking alongside him in the fields.
      Sheikh Hamdan simply captioned the post with a blue heart and a horse emoji, suggesting it was just 14-month-old Rashid was with him at the stables.
      Rashid and Shaikha celebrated their first birthday back in May.

      Video: Sheikha Hissa Al Maktoum celebrates major victory at UK racing event

      The Dubai royal family is known for their affinity and passion for horses, some of which has largely been shaped by the late His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the former Deputy Ruler of Dubai.
      The late sheikh was also the founder of Shadwell Racing, a global racing and breeding enterprise involving both Thoroughbred and Arabian horses, which has seen success worldwide.
      His Highness’ legacy lived on at the recent Sussex Stakes in the UK, where stallion Baaeed was victorious and is regarded as perhaps one of the best racehorses in the world.

      The late sheikh’s daughter, Her Highness Sheikha Hissa bint Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, was at the race reverently watching on as Baaeed triumphantly crossed the finish line in Group 1.
      “For me and my family he means the world,” Sheikha Hissa told Racing TV following Baaeed’s victory, adding that it was a special moment to see the racehorse’s triumph, particularly as he’s from the lineage her later father bred.
      “It’s good to see one of our best horses coming from that lineage that my father worked hard on,” she said.

      Celebrating the victory of four-year-old Baaeed with Sheikh Hissa was jockey Jim Crowley and trainer William Haggas.
      Also close to Sheikha Hissa was her father, whom she paid tribute to with a badge of his photo on her pale pink abaya.
      We’re sure her father would be incredibly proud of his daughter as she continues to champion his legacy.

      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is known for being very much in touch with the people of the UAE and a new viral video has proven exactly why.
      In a video posted to social media platform TikTok, footage was captured of the Dubai Ruler on a recent outing in Motor City. His Highness, in the company of a few others, is seen walking towards his car, which is emblazoned with the well-known number one number plate, opening the door and getting in.
      While the action in itself is very simple, it speaks volumes, as many users noted in the comments of the video, which has now been viewed over one million times.

      Sheikh Mohammed has been lauded as a “humble”  and “great” leader by viewers.
      “Because people love him, he doesn’t need much security,” one user commented.
      “You see the [difference] no 50 security members and cameras everywhere [because] he made sure the country is a safe place for everyone,” another said.
      Another also added, “What a great leader, which is [a] lesson to [the] world.”
      The safest place in the world
      The safety of UAE citizens and residents has continually been reflected in the leadership of the country.
      Last year in November in an official report by Gallup, it was found the UAE is the safest place to walk alone, with 95 per cent of the country’s residents feel safe, especially when walking alone at night.
      Sheikh Mohammed himself shared his pride in the ranking, noting how safe the UAE was for women and how they can walk home, be it day or night, “without fear”.
      “Security is a blessing and safety is tranquillity,” he said. “If a woman wanders alone at any hour of the day or night without fear, she knows that she is in the Emirates.”

      This video proves Sheikh Hamdan is the most down-to-earth crown prince

      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has just shown he is a truly down-to-earth royal.
      The Crown Prince of Dubai is currently in London, where he regularly spends time, and was stopped by two Dubai residents in the UK’s capital.
      In a video captured by Sheikh Hamdan’s friend Ahmad Jaber Al Harbi, the royal is seen interacting with the two fans.
      Sheikh Hamdan, affectionately known as Fazza, was in his car driving in the city when he was stopped for some photos by the two individuals.

      Not ever one to say no to a photo, Dubai’s Crown Prince enthusiastically posed with the fans, even helping them to get the right shot.
      At one point in the video, the male fan says “Sorry to bother you” but Fazza responded saying, “No, it’s okay”, also shaking his hand.
      The video has gone somewhat viral on Instagram, having garnered nearly 300,000 views in 24 hours and nearly 20,000 likes.
      Regular visitor
      His Highness is a regular visitor to the United Kingdom, as are many other members of the Dubai royal family.
      Most recently, Sheikh Hamdan was photographed at Royal Ascot in June where the Crown Prince of Dubai was seen in the company of British royals, Charles, Prince of Wales and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

      It was a day of celebration for the royal as Godolphin – the Dubai royal family’s private Thoroughbred horseracing stable – was victorious at the St James’s Palace Stakes Group 1 flat horse race. Godolphin’s horse Coroebus, ridden by jockey William Buick, came first in the race.
      With a known passion for horses, His Highness is ensuring he passes his passion down to his children, twins Rashid and Sheikha. Last year, on another trip to the UK, the doting father took the twins to Godolphin stables, located in the English countryside, to visit the stallions.
      The Crown Prince of Dubai shared two photos of himself holding baby Rashid, who was dressed in blue, and with horse Adayar.

      “Training and education should start early on,” Sheikh Hamdan captioned the post.

      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, celebrated his 73rd birthday last week.
      It turns out it was an extra special day for the Dubai Ruler as he welcomed a new addition to the family, a grandson.
      Sheikh Mohammed’s son, His Highness Sheikh Majid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and his wife Hessa Beljafla welcomed their fifth child together on Friday, July 15.
      As reported by Arabian Royal Agency, the couple named the newborn Maktoum.
      Sheikh Majid and his wife wed back in 2014 and welcomed twins Mohammed and Dubai the following year in July 2015.

      The couple then had another daughter Maitha in May 2017 and another son Rashid in February 2019.
      To mark the birth of his new son, Sheikh Majid shared a photo of himself with his five children on Instagram. The newborn Maktoum was being held by his eldest brother Mohammed.
      Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid is known for being a family man, particularly when it comes to his grandchildren.
      During Eid Al Fitr celebrations back in May, His Highness was seen with 23 of his grandchildren in a photograph posted by his son, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai.
