    His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, has shared some adorable new photographs of his father doting on his grandchildren, twins Rashid bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum and Shaikha bint Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum.
    In the photos, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is seen spending quality time with the little ones whilst they holiday in the UK as a family.
    The first photograph shows the Dubai Ruler with little Shaikha, helping her to walk. The second photo shared by Sheikh Hamdan shows Sheikh Mohammed with young Rashid, playing in the garden.

    Along with the photos, Sheikh Hamdan, who is affectionately known as Fazza, shared a poem Sheikh Mohammed penned about twins Rashid and Shaikha in Arabic.
    The Dubai Ruler himself shared the poem on his official Instagram page alongside a photograph previously shared by Sheikh Hamdan of the four enjoying quality time in the UK together.

    Summer in London
    Fazza has been enjoying a long holiday in London over the summer months.
    Just a couple of weeks ago, he was spending time in the UK’s capital and was seemingly able to go about his day being unrecognised.
    His Highness shared a selfie on Instagram with his friend Badr Ateej riding the crowded London Underground.
    “We’ve got a long way to go and Badr is already bored,” he said in the caption of the post.

    A few weeks prior, the Crown Prince of Dubai was recognised around central London as he was driving. In a video captured by Sheikh Hamdan’s friend Ahmad Jaber Al Harbi, the royal is seen interacting with two fans.
    Sheikh Hamdan was in his car driving in the city when he was stopped for some photos by the two individuals, who also happened to be Dubai residents.
    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.

    His Highness is a regular visitor to the United Kingdom, as are many other members of the Dubai royal family.

    3 hours ago

    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!”.

    — Hamdan bin Mohammed (@HamdanMohammed) July 31, 2022

    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.”

    The touching way Sheikha Hissa paid tribute to her late father Sheikh Hamdan

    Lifestyle

    by Team Emirates Woman
    2 mins ago

    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.
