Dubai Princess Shares Photo With 2-Month-Old Daughter After Shocking Divorce

The Dubai princess is moving on.
Shortly after Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum announced her split from husband Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum, on social media, she showed a glimpse into her single life.
In a photo shared July 21, the daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum posed with her daughter in front of a portrait of a horse. Donning a dark floral dress with an orange flower pattern, she gave her 2-month-old a kiss on the forehead while holding her.
The sweet mother-daughter moment comes less than a week after the 30-year-old raised eyebrows with her very public divorce request to her husband July 16, accusing her husband of infidelity.
“Dear husband,” Sheikha Mahra began in her post. “As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, I Divorce You.”
The daughter of the Dubai ruler—who is one of 26 children—finished her post with, “Take care, your ex-wife.”
E! News previously reached out to reps for both parties for additional comment and has not heard back.
The princess’ divorce statement evokes similarities to the Islamic practice of “triple talaq.” The Islamic law practice allows Muslim men to divorce their wives by simply saying it three times, according to the BBC. In the United Arab Emirates, Sharia law still governs for marital or divorce proceedings between Muslim couples, according to the country’s website.
And although Sheikha Mahra cannot legally divorce her husband through this method—as only men are allowed to carry out the practice under Sharia law—she had hinted at an end to her one-year marriage last month.
In another June selfie with her daughter—who was born in May—the princess wrote, “Just the two of us.”
