14-year old Emirati girl Alia Al Mansoori recently shared a light-hearted moment with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
The video was shared by the Crown Prince on his Twitter page. The winner of the first UAE 'Genes in Space' student competition, Alia looks in awe of the Crown Prince and seemed to hang to his every word. It looks like the royal must have shared some important life lessons with the young girl.
