Have you met Shaikh Hamdan's best friend?

Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, may be tough at work, a daredevil at stunts but he's still a child at heart - especially when it comes to choosing friends.

See these photos to see what he does best: hanging out with his young 'best friend' Mohammed bin Ahmed Jaber Al Harbi, or Maj for short, and embracing his inner child.

Both Shaikh Hamdan and Maj keep posting photographs on Instagram with each other that show how close they really are.

Just in case you guys don't know, this is my best friend, Maj wrote in one of his Instagram posts.

Maj is the same gentleman who tipped his hat as he offered his hand to Queen Elizabeth at the Epsom Derby in the UK last year.
