Who is Sheikha Mahra?

The Dubai royal was reportedly born in 1994 to the Ruler of Dubai. She has a degree in International Relations from a UK university, according to graduation photos on her Instagram account.

She is regularly spotted attending events all around Dubai, be it the opening of a jewellery store in Dubai Mall to the Distinctive International Arab Festivals Awards, an annual awards show honouring International and Arab personalities.
