She’s the Dubai princess making waves—in more ways than one.
Princess Mahra has been challenging social norms, not just for the Arabian Gulf, but worldwide.
Daughter of Dubai’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Princess Mahra is rapidly becoming the Arab world’s most talked-about starlet.
In July 2024, she sent a shockwave worldwide—all in one now-removed Instagram post—announcing her own divorce from her reportedly cheating husband.
“Dear husband,” she wrote in plain white text over a black background. “As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take care, your ex-wife.”
Her bold declaration moved women worldwide, showing that no wife is obligated to put up with infidelity—even if it means breaking the glass ceiling.
The sentiment especially resonated with other Arab women, who hailed her as a symbol of female empowerment in the region.
But that wasn’t her only move to make an impact, Princess Mahra also started her own haircare line—full of beauty secrets from the Arabian Gulf.
Following the launch of an aptly-named fragrance line, Divorce, the princess is now dishing the details on her royal mane with Xtianna.
The beauty line address hair and body concerns, using camel milk—an Arabian Gulf staple—as the special ingredient.
Princess Mahra’s luxury self-care lines are made to deliver silk tresses, smooth skin, and a luxurious fragrance—features the royal is known for.
But her business moves aren’t the only matter causing a buzz, she’s been spotted with rapper French Montana on several occasions, causing romance rumors among fans.
Social media sleuths have spotted the Moroccan-American rapper and the Dubai royal exchanging likes on Instagram.
While neither party has confirmed anything regarding romantic interests for one another, many fans are speculating and showing support.
The two were recently spotted in Paris Fashion Week, holding hands, Princess Mahra carrying a bouquet of flowers in her arm.
They look great together,” one wrote on an Instagram post of the pair by DialoguePakistan. “Happy for them.”
“If this is true, congratulations to both,” another added.
Between her glamorous public appearances, business savviness, and unapologetic personal agency—Princess Mahra is flipping the script on what it means to be a modern Gulf princess.
