The wife of Dubai’s billionaire ruler is believed to be in hiding in London after the break-up of her marriage, according to sources close to the family. Princess Haya Al Hussein is said to be seeking a divorce after initially fleeing to Germany where she sought political asylum.
She will be the subject of a BBC documentary called Escape from Dubai – The Mystery of the Missing Princess which will be shown on BBC2 in December.
Unconfirmed reports in Arab media suggest a German diplomat helped her ‘escape’ from Dubai leading to a potential diplomatic crisis between the two countries. It is claimed that German authorities have refused a request from her husband Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Maktoum to return his wife to Dubai.
Only three months ago one the Sheikh’s children, Princess Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum, was allegedly captured off the coast of India attempting to flee to America after living under the strict control of her father. She has since disappeared, but is believed to have been returned to the United Arab Emirates where her father is the Prime Minister and Vice President.
