"And with that, the 2025 season comes to an end. Goodnight." Many residents might've heard this trending audio on videos that show recaps of the year.
While the audio itself did not feature in the post, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum joined the wider social media trend to offer a look at what his year looked like. As he often does, the Dubai Crown Prince used a visual narrative rather than words, sharing a carefully edited video that reflected both personal milestones and moments from his public life.
One of the most followed royals globally on social media, Sheikh Hamdan’s video placed a strong emphasis on family. It opens with him walking through palace doors, a scene that feels almost like an invitation for viewers to step into his life and home. On entering, one sees the Crown Prince holding his daughter Hind, who was born earlier this year.
The video then moves through a series of family-focused clips, including images of his children alongside the leaders of the nation. These moments, shown through warm embraces and informal interactions, highlight a more personal side of leadership and family life.
Watch the video, below:
Sheikh Hamdan is also popularly known to be an adrenaline junkie, who enjoys being active and adventurous activities. The leader can also be spotted leaping off a plane, swimming in the sea and sledding on snow.
With nearly 17 million followers on the platform, the Dubai Royal doesn't just share personal moments but also puts up experiences he has across the world.
