[Banchelor]

Is Rashid Majed their personal singer i have seen a lot pictures videos where his songs are playback i think the song Maryam is is dedicated to Maryam
and i saw another thread where was posted Sheikha wedding music was perfomed by him
i would like listen this kind music more but in nogomi i don't see those songs
so where i get those songs

[lady blue]

Rashid almajid is a saudi singer but i think the family likes him as he sings alot for him. also Hussain aljasmi and mehad hamad.
if you are looking for songs written by shiekh Hamdan including the song for Maryam and Shiekha's wedding then your best bet is his formal web site. it has a link to all his songs.

We don't know as many don't reveal who they are.

Sheikh Hamdan is a poet, many of his poems are handed over to singers to sing.

As a personal account, it is unknown. This account is all about his activities.

Hey everyone

I was reading Sheikh Hamdan's poems today and I was wondering if his sisters also write them? For example I heard that Maryam writes some poems. What about Sheikha Shaikha? Once I found a poem about Sheikh Nasser and someone said it was written by Shaikha

[lady blue]

dont know

What is the protocol or etiquette when interacting with senior memebers of the Dubai royal family - sheikhs and sheikhas?

Saying hello whether by shaking hands or kissing them on the cheek. Some people (by choice) kiss the senior and less senior royals on their shoulder.

Posts discussing Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed have been moved to the Sheikh Mohammed's Children thread.

I watched some videos from Royal Ascot when Colour Vision won the Ascot Gold Cup for Goldolphin and HH Sheikh Mohammed.

As Frankie Dettori rode into the Winners' Enclosure, it looked like HH Sheikh Hamdan darted over, leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek as Frankie was still on the horse. When Frankie Dettori dismounted he went up to HH Sheikh Mohammed and gave him a hug and kiss.

I thought Sheikh Hamdan's gesture was lovely and Sheikh Mohammed didn't look a bit fazed to get hugged and kissed by his jockey.

We Brits have the rep of being a bit stiff upper lip (although after the death if Diana, Princess of Wales I think we're less stiff) but I just can't imagine HRH The Prince of Wales or even Prince Harry giving a jockey a kiss, let alone a jockey hugging The Queen.

So is it an Al Maktoum thing to give and receive such affection, a UAE thing in general or just the good relationship between Sheikhs Mohammed and Hamdan and their jockey ?

[AdmirerUS]

I thought it was nice and very appropriate.

I think it depends a lot on how great of a racing enthusiast the royal is, how demonstrative in general their society is, and the fact that this was two adult men after a competition.

For some reason, men the world over seem more prone to hugging after a win - even the men you think are stiff. Golf immediately came to mind (because I am an enthusiast) and I thought of Ryder Cup Teams, Tiger Woods and his Caddy (and NO ONE touches Tiger, usually). Other examples of odd affection after a win in the sporting world include Gatorade being thrown on coaches, tennis players climbing into the stands, etc. Plus there are lots of examples of race winners hugging their jockeys. Granted, QRII won't be seen that way any time soon - but I think that royal family is an exceptionally stiff one. Just my opinion.

I didn't say I saw anything wrong in it, I think it's nice that Sheikh Mohd is on such good terms with his jockey that Frankie Dettori would just spontaneously hug and kiss him. I also felt it was sweet of Sheikh Hamdan to congratulate Frankie Dettori like that and it made me smile.

Still don't know whether that's just them or something done in their family or whether people in UAE or more demonstrative.

I kinda agree but have to say the Queen's Olympic debut was fantastic ! The Princess Royal looks like she has a fun side and I met her when I was a small child as she had a horse called Doublet which she competed on in a big horse show near me and me and my friend toddled up to her while she was exercising and demanded to stroke the horse much to my mother's embarrassment.
