Welcome! But wich Rashid you mean? And wich Hamdan you mean?

I think you speak from 2 Hamdans.And from another Rashid as we. First,I think, you mean Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum. He is the father of Hamdan bin Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum and Mohammed bin Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum. Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum is the crown prince of Dubai, son of Muhammed bin Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum, nephew of Hamdan bin Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum and grandson of Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum.

Have I summarized correctly?

Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum is the brother of Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, and he is the Rashid, we often talked about here.

Do not despair, our names accumulation makes it sometimes difficult for outsiders to keep track.....

The al Maktoum family has many members with similar sounding names. There are many persons with the names Mohammed, Hamdan, Rashid, Ahmed, Maktoum in the al Maktoum family. :-)

HH Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum was a great, ambitious leader of Dubai in the past. He ruled for 32 years from 1958 until his death in 1990. He was the father of four sons:
Maktoum bin Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum (1943–2006)
Hamdan bin Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum (b. 1945)
Mohammed bin Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum (b. 1949)
Ahmed bin Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum (b. 1950)

He listened all people how talked with him intently. He dismayed to learn that no one in the outside world had ever heard of them. Rashid decided this would change. HH Sheikh Rashid wanted the name of his town, DUBAI; on the lips of every person on earth. HH Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum made from the village of Dubai a cosmopolitan city with his foresight, kindness and dignity. When he died, he had converted many of his dreams and brought us wealth and prestige in the world. He and HH Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan has contributed significantly to the founding of the State of UAE. Sheikh Rashid brought Dubai to join Abu Dhabi and other northern Emirates to create the United Arab Emirates in 1971, and in 1973, Dubai joined the other emirates to adopt a uniform currency, the UAE dirham. After the death of the great Sheikh Rashid, his son, HH Sheikh Maktoum became the ruler of Dubai first. In January 06th 2006 Maktoum died and HH Sheikh Mohammed became a leader and put the ideas of his father and brother continued success.

Sheikh Mohammed went to the hospital today to visit Bob Baffert, a horse racing trainer from the U.S. who had a heart attack today. I think he trained a couple horses for him, I'm not sure though. There is a video here:

Right, the family like it to have their privacy. You barely see him in events & occasions like his other brothers. He makes sure that his private life don´t gets to the public. I think that we should respect his wish. Sorry, that I can´t give you better informations about him.

Just wanted to know if it's a royal wedding ? And does the ruling family attends the local weddings too?

[lady blue]

Well I couldn't find the picture you are talking about, but if it was resent then it's probably a local wedding. The family do attend a lot of local weddings.

[Imanmajed]

A new Sheikh is born today. His name is Sheikh Hamdan bin Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum. Congratulations. This year is a good year with a lot of new Sheikhs. (Zayed, Rashid and now Hamdan).

[Isotta]

Congratulations! This is getting complicated. I think there should be a gigantic family tree with some sort of "you are here" arrow to show how everyone is related to everyone else. BUT I think it would be a very complex tree indeed!

I think we talk about different Saeeds from the al Maktoums. SO wich Saeed you mean? I mean in my post before Sheikh Saaed bin Maktoum bin Rashid al Maktoum. He is the nephew of Sheikh Mohammed and the cousin of Sheikh Hamdan (CP) and not his uncle. And he has 2 wifes. So you mean Sheikh Saeed Bin Dalmouk bin Juma Al Maktoum??? He is married with the daughter of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum since 2009 only and became a new father in May 2012 of Rashid bin Saeed bin Dalmouk bin Juma al Maktoum. So he can´t have today another son with one wife only! Or you mean Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, the brother of Sheikha Hind???? Please, enlightening me!!!! About which Saeed of the al Maktoums we talk????

Would that be Sheikh Hamdan's uncle from mother or fathers side? Saeed bin ?. And do you happen to know the mothers (of the new baby) name?

The father of CP Sheikh Hamdan, Sheikh Mohammed, havn´t a brother with the name Saeed. Only the mother Sheikha Hind have a brother with the name Saeed. lady blue said, the father of the newborn is the uncle of CP Sheikh Hamdan and that the newborn is the first child after so many miscarriages for the couple. So it can only be the brother of Sheikha Hind. But I don´t want to spread rumors and wrong informations. We have to wait of lady blue for enlightening all of us and make it clear. It`s better!

They have a lot of Saeeds in the family of al Maktoum: Saeed bin Maktoum bin Rashid al Maktoum, Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma al Maktoum, Saeed bin Dalmouk bin Juma Al Maktoum, Saeed bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum (he is not married yet), and Saeed bin ........

And a lot of Hamdans: Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Hamdan bin Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum, Hamdan bin ... we don´t know now.

And a lot of Rashids: Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Rashid bin Saeed bin Dalmouk bin Juma Al Maktoum, Rashid bin Hamdan al Maktoum, Rashid bin Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum, Rashid bin .....

And a lot of Maktoums: Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Sheikh Maktoum bin Hasher bin Maktoum al Maktoum, late Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid al Maktoum, Sheikh Maktoum bin Juma al Maktoum, Maktoum bin .......
