Following the birth of their twins last month, Sheikh Hamdan and his wife Sheikha Sheikha bint Saeed received letters of congratulations from all around the country as the new father made a grand announcement to his followers. The Dubai Crown Prince, who is well-known on social media, posted an image of a pair of small pink and blue feet to express his happy news.
In Arabic, Sheikha means “princess,” while Rashid means “rightly guided.” The girl shares her mother’s name, while the boy shares his with that of Sheikh Hamdan’s late grandfather, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum.
In May 2019, Sheikh Hamdan and Sheikha Sheikha got married. During the ceremony dubbed “joy of the nation,” two of Sheikh Hamdan’s brothers, Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and Sheikh Ahmad bin Mohammed, were also married.
