The Royal Brothers: What You Need To Know About The 4 Maktoum Brothers
Last week, Dubai’s Crown Prince shared snaps of his new family (he’s now a proud Dad of twins!) and since then, we can’t get enough of the Dubai royal family.
The Al Maktoum family is the leading royal family in the UAE, lead by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. He is the ruling Sheikh and many of his children are prominent members of society.
Quietly, they are heavily involved in government, media, philanthropy, the arts, sports and more, and they share snippets to the ‘gram, where we can piece together a little bit of what life must be like for Dubai’s royal family.
