Well one of Shk Mohammed's daughters got married.
WAM
Sheikh Majid, one of the sons whose mother is not Sheikha Hind, is currently Chairman of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority.
It would appear he has the confidence of his father and is being groomed for greater responsibilities.
invitation for the wedding (dinner party for ladies) of the daughter of sheikh mohammed whom will marry this week, sheikh Hessa on this Sunday, they usually send a gift with invitation ( as prince hamzah did)
I saw the gift on TV; it was a box made up of wood and inside a masba7a i don't know what it means in English!
Sorry, I was a bit ambiguous. When I wrote that Majid "has the confidence of his father" I meant that Sheikh Mohammed is showing confidence in Majid (as demonstrated by Majid accompanying his father to Bahrain and being included in the talks with King Hamad).that sounds good for sheikh majid but hes always the more shy one to me.
It appears that Sheikh Rashid is being left further behind when it comes to being groomed for official responsibilities.
I´ve noticed that too, why is it so?
Yes, I read about the legal issue too, but was it really THAT bad? I mean not to do any official appearances beceuse of that? I think it´s a little to harsh.
It's no secret that Rashid is on the outer. See this post for an overview, and there are posts a few pages back which go into further detail about his character and behaviour.
I'm sorry Warren but how can you be sure that facts which tommy01 is talking about are true? Even if he happens to get in touch with Rashid at some level, how can you be sure that his observations are realistic?
Tommy01's views are his own. However, it is public record that Sheikh Rashid had to be taken to court to force payment of a very large debt (which allegedly he had attempted to conceal from his father). I'd imagine that a proud Ruler would be somewhat displeased and dismayed at such behaviour from the 'eldest' son.I'm sorry Warren but how can you be sure that facts which tommy01 is talking about are true?
