His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Dubai Ruler, is so impressed with an Emirati girl's imitation of him, that he now wants to meet her.
The Dubai Ruler retweeted the viral video - originally tweeted by @m.alshehi on Instagram - expressing his desire to meet this cute girl and asking local Twitterati to track her down:

This is not the girl's first brush with UAE's royalty - in the past she even met His Highness Sultan bin Mohammad Al-Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah:

The original post on Instagram has garnered over 41,000 views and 353 comments, since it was posted yesterday.
Shaikh Mohammed, who also has two young children with his wife Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, is known to be fond of kids and can be seen interacting with students and young children on his official visits to schools and events.
It's not everyday when a young kid finds a fan in the iconic UAE leader, and we can't wait for her to meet the Ruler.
