Can i ask one question ?

If Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Saeed Al Maktoum is the cousin of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum so whats the relationship of Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed with Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Saeed Al Maktoum ?
 
Kalifa bin Saeed, Rashid bin Saeed, and Ahmed bin Saeed are brothers. Therefore, Ahmed is the uncle of the offspring of both Kalifa and Rashid.

What can be the reason ?

Do any one know if Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum ( The uncle of Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum ) is single or married ? I heard rumours saying he is married to a foreigner lady but he haven't announced officially and that he also have a child from her is this true ? If not why dont he get married even though when he is already 46 years old ? Do he have any personal fortune ?

From what I have heard... He is not married but he does have a daughter with a foreign lady.
 
Thanks for the information

Do you know where she is from or what she do ? Is the sheikh seen with her daughter any picture available ? whats her age ? do the sheikh ever visit her ? whats the sheikh fortune ?
 
i've a doubt that is out of this context. with Sheikh Maktoum's death, shouldn't be Sheikh Hamdan the ruler? He's older than Sheikh Mohammed ...
 
Not always is the succession one of age. Derivation often occurs. Sheikh Mohammed was the Crown Prince and thus the heir designate. Sometimes the Crown Prince can change as has happened over the past few years in Qatar, Sharjah, and Ras al Khamaih.

Yes sheikh Hamdan is older but sheikh mohammed was the crown prince and as Royal friend said its not always about age
 
Do any one know the full name of Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum mother ? Is she still alive ? How about Sheikh Khalifa Bin Saeed Al Maktoum is he is alive and do he have any official positions ?

I discovered that Sheikha Fatima Bint Ahmed Bin Suliman is the mother of Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum but do any one if she is still alive ? Do any one she was from which tribe ? When was that Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum married her ?

He is Well-known in Dubai and abroad, Sheikh Ahmed is a hands-on Chairman and Chief Executive of the Emirates Group who encourages innovation.

Can any one open one forum where we can post his interview,pictures and activities ?
 
Why we not open one forum where we discuss and post pictures of Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum children or better we open one forum which will be opened for about every member linked with Al Maktoum Family ? Because i have seen that Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid and His older brother Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum together with their uncle Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum are leading Dubai in to a visionary hub for every field so why dont we meet together to follow them up with photo's and news together of all three as family news ?
Their uncle Sheikh Khalifa Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is still alive or dead do any one know ?
 
shaikh Hamdan

does anyone know if shaikh hamdan is set to marry a certain person yet?
if so, who?
 
I'm pretty new here, but I was wondering if Sheikh Mansour was Sheikha Hind's son.

yes he is sheikha hinds son
 
I saw Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid today at Epsom. One of his horses became first, another one third. He seems to become much more successful than Godolphin - I wonder what Mo is thinking about that.

Does anyone know if Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid has more wives than one - I think officially he's married to Sheikha Alia - as both his brothers Mo & the late Mak have / had more than one wife?

No other wifes have been mentioned before for sheikh hamdan. He's wife is not sheikha Alia. Sheikha Alia was Sheikh Maktoum's wife. Sheikh Hamdan's wife is Sheikha Roda

Oh yes, got it wrong. Found her name as Sheikha Rawda (= Roda) bint Ahmed bin Maktoum, sounds like a cousin.

So Ahmed bin Saed and Ahmed bin Rashid are the bachelors in the family?

However, Hamdan bin Rashid looks like a grumpy old man and he doesn't even smile when his horse does a winner. Runs in the family, huh?

But I like his quiet and more down to earth style more than the behaviour of other family members. You can see it in his jockeys too. The Hills brothers are successful but not very outspoken in comparison to Mister Dettori who went screaming all over the track yesterday when he won the Derby, luckily not for Godolphin :D

Yes, a cousin. Several ways to spell the name:)

Yes they are...

Sheikh Ahmed tends to smile, so did sheikh Maktoum. Sheikh Hamdan seems to be more of a serioues person and does not like all the fuss and attention like sheikh Mohammed

I like how the Hill brotehrs are big but not out there if you get what i mean. Godolphin is everywhere you look, i dont like that. I guess it refelcts on the owners personalities:D

Maktoum always gave the impression that he was a very shy person. He did not like the spotlight at all (as Ahmed). Hamdan avoids the spotlight too but he sends out the message "better don't mess with me". Amazing how different brothers can be - and they are clever enough to tolerate each other to a certain degree so Dubai's power is not endangered.

Yes, Godolphin is everywhere you look but where are the results :lol:
Even our italian friend was speechless when he became last in the DWC - I bet Mo & Haya will leave this year's Royal Ascot without a winner and a sour expression on their faces - as they did last year.

Mo has banned Signore Dettori from riding Coolmore trained horses. But even when he allowed him to ride yesterday's winner, Authorized, he had to face reality as Authorized is sired by a Coolmore stallion. I wonder when Mo will realize that money can't buy a successful bloodline. At the moment Godolphin's horses seem to be saloon cars on a formula one circuit but of course Mo knows better, as always : - )
