      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, is known for his kind gestures and truly getting to know the people of the UAE.
      From lending a helping hand to those in need to being a doting dad, His Highness continues to inspire the people of the nation.
      As we dig into the archives, Emirates Woman takes a look at some of Sheikh Hamdan’s most heartwarming and inspiring moments.
      Extending a helping hand

      At the annual Dubai Fitness Challenge in 2021, Sheikh Hamdan joined the participating residents in the 5km and 10km run and was seen assisting an 18-year-old with a rare genetic condition. He participated in the last race with Rio Watson who has a chromosome disorder known as Iq44 deletion denovo that affects motor and speech functions. The official @teamangelwolf Instagram page said, “Thank you for being such an inspiring leader, a true role model, and making time for your community!”.

      Sheikh Hamdan is known for praising the good people of Dubai. Recently, the Crown Prince praised a Talabat delivery driver for removing two concrete blocks causing a road obstruction to oncoming traffic. The good deed was caught on camera which was shared on Instagram by Sheikh Hamdan where he referred to the individual’s actions as “an act of goodness in Dubai to be praised” and called on his followers to help him find the man. Once found, Fazza personally thanked him on social media.
      Taking a selfie with fans abroad

      In a recent visit to the UK’s capital, this down-to-earth royal was seen interacting with two of his fans when he was in the car. He took time to stop for some photos with the two individuals and enthusiastically posed with the fans. He even patiently waited to ensure they get the right shot. In a span of 24 hours, the video went viral garnering nearly 300,000 views and around 20,000 likes.
      Being a doting dad

      Since welcoming his two children Rashid and Shaikha in 2021, Fazza has been the ultimate doting dad. One particularly sweet moment was when he took the twins to visit the giraffes. The father-of-two shared two beautiful snaps on Instagram of himself with the little ones.
      Kind words for his father

      Much like his father, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Fazza is also a keen writer and poet. Showcasing one of his hidden talents, Sheikh Hamdan wrote a poem for his father back in 2018.
      He wrote, “This is the son of Rashid the great oneHe sees through his mind before his eyesThrough his global vision coming from above the cloudsHe creates for you glory in the skies.”

      Her Highness Sheikha Hissa bint Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the daughter of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the former Deputy Ruler of Dubai, is ensuring her late father’s legacy continues to live on.
      Attending the Sussex Stakes in the UK last week, Sheikha Hissa was cheering on horse Baaeed as he was victorious in coming first in Group 1.
      While her father may not have been able to be there in person, Her Highness made a touching tribute to Sheikh Hamdan when she was at the Sussex Stakes.
      In an interview with Racing TV following Baaeed’s win, the sheikha was seen wearing a badge with her father’s photo which was pointed out by the interviewer.

      “Is that a badge of your father you’ve got there?” the interviewer asked.
      “Yes, my father’s photo,” Sheikha Hissa replied.
      To which the interviewer said, “So, he comes with you…”
      “Always,” Sheikha Hissa replied, finishing her sentence.
      It was a special victory for Sheikha Hissa and Baaeed at the Sussex Stakes as the racehorse is directly from the lineage Sheikh Hamdan bred.
      “For me and my family he means the world,” Sheikha Hissa said of Baaeed’s victory. “It’s good to see one of our best horses coming from that lineage that my father worked hard on.”
      Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid died last year. His passing was announced by his brother, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai.
      He was aged 75 at the time of his passing on March 24, 2022.

      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, has praised a Dubai delivery driver for an act of good.
      Taking to Twitter over the weekend, His Highness shared a video, which was caught on camera by another onlooker, of the man removing an obstruction from a busy intersection.
      In the footage, the man, who is a Talabat delivery driver, is seen waiting until the lights turn red at the intersection to remove two concrete blocks causing a slight road obstruction to oncoming traffic.
      Sheikh Hamdan referred to the individual’s good deed as “an act of goodness in Dubai to be praised” and called on his followers to help him find the man.
      “An act of goodness in Dubai to be praised,” Sheikh Hamdan said of the individual’s good deed. “Can someone point me to this man?”

      Oh, how fast little ones grow up! His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s one-year-old twins are the perfect example of that.
      Known for giving his fans snippets into his life on Instagram, the Crown Prince of Dubai shared a couple of new photos on social media.
      Sheikh Hamdan, affectionately known as Fazza, is currently away in the UK and posted a few snaps from his recent outing with his horses in the countryside and Rashid also paid a visit with his doting dad.

      In the first photograph, the little one is seen with his dad petting one of the stallions 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. However, we’re sure if baby Shaikha is anything like her brother, she’ll also be walking too.
      Turning one
      The baby twins celebrated their first birthday back in May.
      To mark their first birthday, the Fazza shared a heartwarming photo in celebration of the special day.
      With a beaming smile on his face, Sheikh Hamdan is seen cradling the twins when they were newborns and he became a dad for the first time.

      “Feels like yesterday this picture was taken,” he captioned the post. “It’s been one year today. Happy birthday Rashid & Shaikha… and to all the children of the world.”
      The Crown Prince of Dubai appears to have taken to fatherhood seamlessly and has shared a few special moments with his 14.2 million Instagram followers over the past year.
      Most notably, the doting dad is ensuring he is passing down one of his number one passions in life to his two children – horses – which is evident on his recent outing in the UK.

      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.
