This morning hearts broke all across the UAE as it was announced that heartthrob Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, and two of his brothers Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Sheikh Ahmad bin Mohammed, Chairman of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation, were each married on Wednesday evening in a joint ceremony. According to the Dubai Media Office, the three sons of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, were wed in a private religious ceremony here in Dubai.

Earlier today, the government media office confirmed that Sheikh Hamdan, 36, married Sheikha Sheikha bint Saeed bin Thani Al Maktoum, Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed, 35, married Sheikha Maryam bint Butti Al Maktoum and Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed, 32, married Sheikha Midya bint Dalmouj Al Maktoum. 

Sheikh Hamdan’s sister, Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice Chairwoman of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, took to Instagram to congratulate the three brothers on the happy occasion. Her caption beautifully reads, “The nation is rejoiced.”

Although the three couples had their Islamic wedding on Wednesday evening (this is where they sign the official marriage contract) a wedding ceremony is expected to follow, however it is not clear yet if it will be a public or private celebration.

Team BCME wish His Highness Sheikh Hamdan and his brothers Mabrook and many congratulations.
