Princess Sheikha Mahra, who married Shaikh Mana, a prominent member of the Dubai ruling family, last year in a lavish ceremony that garnered attention from renowned magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar Arabia and Grazia, has taken a bold step in publicly ending her marriage.
The couple welcomed a daughter shortly after their high-profile wedding, adding to the unexpected nature of the announcement.
In the wake of the post, all photos featuring her husband have been removed from Princess Mahra’s Instagram account.
Similarly, Shaikh Mana’s account no longer contains any images of the princess. This move has left many followers and onlookers questioning the state of their relationship and the reasons behind the sudden public declaration of divorce.
Princess Mahra is known for her active public and social media presence, a rarity among female royals. She frequently attends red-carpet events in Dubai and has graced the covers of various regional magazines.
Her Instagram account, boasting nearly half a million followers, offers glimpses into her personal interests, including her passion for horses, her charity work, and candid selfies.
Notably, her mother, Zoe Grigorakos, is of Greek descent, adding to the princess’s diverse background.
The announcement has sparked widespread speculation among Instagram users, with some questioning whether her account might have been hacked.
Despite these rumors, the post and the account have remained active, adding to the credibility of the declaration.
As of now, neither the UAE government nor Shaikh Mana has issued any public statements regarding Princess Mahra’s Instagram post.
The silence from both parties adds to the intrigue and speculation surrounding this high-profile divorce.
This announcement marks a significant moment in the public life of Princess Sheikha Mahra, reflecting her willingness to break traditional norms and communicate openly with her followers.
It remains to be seen how this story will unfold and what impact it will have on her public and private life.
