Fascinating Couples..
I was fascinated when reading an article on horse Racing and coming accross the name of Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein.
Apparently, she is the wife of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. They both have a love of horses and equestrian sports..
Had any of you heard of her ? She seems to keep a very low profile in the region.
@ QatariSun,one never gets to see all the ruler's wives in public,just so happens that SheikhMO & HH Sh.Hamad here have wives(namely Princess Haya & Sha. Mozah respectively) who're doing things that warrant public profile & are progressive enough in their thinking to not hide behind the veil...
Princess Haya, the younger sister of King Abdulla of Jordan. She is simply beautiful and low profile.
messymiss why dont you start a thread of your own where you can keep repeating that all by yourself and all to yourself.

It seems from what i've read that he has two wives. the "senior" one being Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum Bint Juma Al Maktoum.
Pay peanuts & you get Monkeys
Horses in English style; cute couple (Makhtoom/Hussien).
Saw quite a few pics of her but funnily enough they were always captured somewhere outside UAE. I don't think she appears in public much in Dubai, never saw her at any event while I was there, It was only Sheikh Maktoum with male family members..

Her sons are horses, Ms Lana?

and she is a mother of handsome sons and beautiful daugthers, her sons are winners of many equestrian competitions in Europe.
I think you and me, QS, will not be able to understand this mentality.
but obviously they are all dressed properly for the horse riding, perfectly according to the horse-riding dress code...
labda, I also think that 'guy on her right (the other right) is cute :)"

I am wondering, when the man appears on public with only one of his wives, where the other ones at that time? Why they cannot be taken to attend the event as well?
..Does it mean that the one who the man appears with is the favorite wife, or she is just “fresher” than others?
..How other wives feel about being neglected while their husband shows up with other woman? Or in this case, "money talk" and wives just keep quiet?

That's even worse, labda, red on blue is what the clowns in the circus wear.
I think the guy on her right (the other right) is cute :)

I think Mr. Maktoum looks funny, especially with the pink tie on the bluish shirt. Ouch!
she looks simply elegant..
She's Mo's third wife (and as gadarene pointed out she's King Hussein's daughter) and they married about 5 years ago. There's been loads of press about it.
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
No they've been married a while now,she's Jordan's King Abdullah's sister & yes it's their love for horses that brought them together...she's royalty & she looks it...
