The pictures of Sheikh Majid were posted by someone who was either Sheikh Majid's friend or official photographer. I forgot which. But they were definitely released by Sh. Majid's camp. Hessa's family did not release pictures until after the photos of Sh. Majid were released. If Sh. Majid was...

I think people are getting confused because of translation. An engagement in the modern Western world is not legally binding. It is really difficult to translate melcha but I think that using the word engagement or betrothal in it's place is probably not the best idea because it does not convey...

The melcha is a private family affair and the ruling family would never make an official announcement about it. However, the marriage has been confirmed by posts on Sheikh Majid's forum, and by Instagram and Twitter posts by known friends and family members of the couple. Also, photos have been...

Thank you, Imanmajed! :flowers: I have never heard the word melcha before. Is that the same as what they call the Nikah? Also, would you mind telling me how to spell the melcha in Arabic writing? I am trying to learn Arabic & I am having trouble with some of the words that are native to the...

Can someone in Dubai clarify if Majid is married or engaged? My source in the UAE said that he married to Hessa Beljafla. Most of the people on Instagram are saying that he signed the marriage contract and there are even photos of this. However, other people are saying that he is engaged and...

Is it true that Princess Ameerah and Prince Al-Waleed have divorced?! :ohmy: There are lots of rumours going around.

Misleading quote. As far as I know, steroids are also allowed in training/therapy in the US & Australia. You just can't use them on race day. Europe is the only place where these substances are banned which is why the rest of the world has has met this scandal with a collective shrug.

Dubai Equestrian Club pulls plug on Euston Park sponsorship. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/horseracing/10047857/Major-blow-for-Endurance-GB-as-Dubai-Equestrian-Club-pulls-plug-on-Euston-Park-sponsorship.html Can't help but wonder if this is related to the scandal. Also, Princess Haya was...

Oh good grief... It seems that reality TV has infected everyone's minds and no one is happy unless cameras are following someone around 24/7 and picking up their every word. Sheikh Mohammed has already issued a lengthy statement concerning this issue. He fired al-Zarooni, locked down his...

Dubai Ruling Family at the Newmarket Horse Race: 2012 - 2013 Congrats to Sheikh Mohammed & Godolphin! :clap::clap::clap: It's nice to see them make a comeback after the recent bad press involving al-Zarooni. For what it's worth, I don't think the Sheikh knew what al-Zarooni was up to simply...

Hamdan is very active so he would naturally take a vested interest in his health. Things like the Paleo Diet or the Weston Price diet are very popular now for health reasons. Most athletes I know are on diets like that. You will lose weight on them but the main focus is on overall health, not...

I totally agree. He also appears to have gained a lot of muscle definition in his arms and chest which would be impossible if he was anorexic or ill. This is a very recent photo and he looks quite healthy to me! :flowers: .@fazzafans | @Faz3 #Fazza | Webstagram - the best Instagram viewer Of...

What a wonderful brother he is! Happy Birthday Maitha! :) Very cute! And they all still look pretty much the same. From left to right I see: Ahmed, Hamdan , Rashid , Saeed and then Maktoum is in front of Saeed with his hand on his knee. Who is the little guy sitting on the floor cross-legged???

No worries, I seriously had the best laugh over that. :lol: It's Charlotte. :smile:

Two men?!?! I'm a girl!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

You are right, the inner qualities are the most important. I have found that a person's character can actually make them become more or less attractive then what they really are. For example, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian would be considered attractive women. However, their actions and...

The problem for us non-Arabic speakers is that his poems do not translate well into English. I think the problem stems from the fact the English language does not have as many descriptive words as Arabic so when they translate it, it comes out sounding strange. I will use this poem as an...

I have to admit that I swoon a bit when I hear Hamdan read his poetry in Arabic. :wub: I have no what he's saying but it sounds lovely.

That phrase always makes me laugh because they attribute it to Benjamin Franklin because of a letter he wrote to a young man regarding advice about sexual urges and marriage. His whole point was that it didn't matter if the woman he married was young, old, pretty or ugly because you can't see...

Sounds interesting. I'll have to look for that movie. :lol: No, I haven't read the book. I only read French news articles that quoted the book. You can find them on Google if you know some French. I wish I could find the book! It would answer a lot of questions!

It seems that you want to defend Candice at any cost. :flowers: KO-drops and Rohypnol "the date rape drug" were not found in in the toxicology report. Autopsy and toxicology reports can easily tell if someone ingested drugs orally or if they were smoked or snorted. That was not found in...

Relief! :lol:

I've heard this said a lot, but wasn't Sheikha Hind the 2nd or 3rd wife of Sheikh Mohammed and he already had children when he married her? He also added new wives and had children with those women while he was having children with Sh. Hind. It seems that she would not be surprised by his...

I quoted the official police forensic toxicology report in post #105 & gave the link to the French newspaper, Libération, that printed it. That report is what was used by the police to decide whether the death accidental or not and whether charges should be filed. Libération is a left-wing...

This is fascinating to me! So, in Austria, if you want your religious marriage to be legal, you would have to have two weddings? What a pain! :lol: I can see why most just opt for a civil service. In the US, religious leaders (Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, etc) are granted powers by the...
