    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.

    Sheikh Hamdan captioned the post with three heart emojis: one red, one blue and one pink, representing the Dubai Ruler and his two grandchildren.

    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.

    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?”

    It wasn’t long before the man in question was found, prompting Sheikh Hamdan to personally thank him on his social media channels.
    “The good man has been found,” he said. “Thank you Abdul Ghafoor, you are one of a kind. We will meet soon!”

    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.
