A heartfelt tribute

The day started with a beautiful moment on social media that touched everyone across the island. His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa shared a moving tribute to his father, wishing him a life as long and impactful as his reign.

From the archives, the early years

Walking down memory lane, the nostalgic photos of His Majesty’s youth tell a story of preparation and passion. Whether it was his time spent at the Mons Officer Cadet School at Sandhurst or his early days establishing the Bahrain Defence Force, the seeds of leadership were sown early.
