Princess Haya fled to the U.K. in 2019, saying she was « terrified » of her husband, the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates.
London – The ruler of Dubai was ordered by a British court Tuesday to pay $730 million dollars to his ex-wife and their children in one of the most expensive divorce settlements in British history. Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein,47, fled to the U.K. in 2019 saying she was « terrified » of her husband, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, who is the prime minister and vice president of the United Arab Emirates. He is alleged to have ordered the forced return of the couple’s two daughters to the UAE, the Associated Press reported. In October, a U.K. family court judge ruled that the UAE ruler had conducted a fear campaign against Haya, authorizing the hacking of her phone.
