The daughter of the ruler of Dubai – who announced her ‘divorce’ in a brutal social media post – has announced she’s releasing a perfume line titled ‘Divorce’.
Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum posted an announcement on her Instagram page reading: ‘I hereby declare our divorce,’ baffling her followers.
She married Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum in April 2023, and welcomed a baby two months ago.
The post read: ‘Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you and I divorce you.
‘Take care. Your ex-wife.’
It seems she’s capitalising on her heartbreak and newfound fame after her split with a matte black bottle of perfume with ‘Divorce’ scribbled on the front.
The luxe perfume has been advertised with Sheikha Mahra posing in glam shots with the black bottle.
Mahra has been praised for her eloquence after her split, with one user commenting: ‘So he cheats, she publicly humiliates him and divorce him then creates a business out of it! She is not a princess, she is a queen.’
When she announced her divorce, she appeared to reference the Islamic practice known as triple talaq, which lets husbands divorce their wives by saying ‘I divorce you,’ thrice.
The princess’ father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has ruled Dubai since 2006.
Sheikha Mahra is one of 26 of his children. She attended university in the UK, and has been vocal about women’s empowerment.
