From Sheikh Hamdan's babies, Sheikha Latifa's newborn to fairytale wedding: Sneak peek into Dubai royals' lives

Whether right here in the UAE or around the world, the life of a member of a royal family has long been cloaked in allure, captivating millions across the globe. Collective obsession with the British royal family, for example, has been well-documented throughout history, with the most recent coronation seeing hordes of locals spilling into the streets of London to catch a glimpse of the new King.

This fascination permeates here in Dubai, too; the glittering magnetism of the emirate's Royal Family – a monarchy instrumental in Dubai's transformation from sleepy fishing village to cosmopolitan metropolis – often piques the curiosity of fascinated residents, intrigued by glimpses of what it is like to be part of the bloodline of centuries-old dynasties.

Luckily, Dubai's royals keep residents more than satiated with regular glimpses into their personal lives. From exclusive photos of newborn babies cradled by their doting parents, to snapshots of a picture-perfect, fairytale wedding, here is a compilation of our favourite royal moments.

Sheikha Mahra

Back in April, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, daughter of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, confirmed her marriage with Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum.

The bride took to social media to share pictures of the stunning event, including several snapshots of herself dressed in her dreamy bridal outfit. The photos see the bride facing away from the camera as her waterfall-like, snow-white gown cascades behind her.

Another shot shows the newlyweds cutting their wedding cake as the impressive creation towers over them, complete with a brush of soft flowers running up the side.

Sheikh Hamdan

Dubai's beloved Crown Prince, who recently became a father for the third time with the arrival of baby Mohammed, took to Instagram last week to share the latest photos of his infant with his 15.8 million followers.

The photos show the adorable toddler, dressed in a cream onesie, wrapped in his father's arms as the Royal plants a kiss on his baby's head.

The second photo shows baby Mohammed lying on his stomach atop an adorable bedspread, complete with monkeys, palm trees and a bright yellow sun. The position is said to improve neck and shoulder strength for infants, as well as promoting motor, visual, and sensory development.
