The two princesses have reportedly been repatriated from abroad against their will. Latifa had previously sent out a cry for help via leaked video messages. She said she is being held in a villa on the orders of her father and is afraid for her life.
Latifa’s friends also reportedly delivered a handwritten letter from 2019 to British authorities on Wednesday. In the text, the princess asks for attention to her sister’s fate. She was kidnapped in the UK more than twenty years ago, according to a British judge on behalf of her father.
Freedom
Princess Latifa wrote to the British authorities: “All I ask of you is to pay attention to this matter.” “Then she can regain her freedom.”
Princess Shamsa Al Maktoum spent part of her childhood in the United Kingdom. In 1999, she wrote to her cousin, frustrated that her father had not allowed her to go to university. He didn’t even ask me what I wanted. The princess said “only“ no. ”After a year she ran away from her family’s property in Surrey, England.

Shamsa’s trip did not last long. Her father’s team found her in Cambridge in 2000. She is said to have traveled to France by helicopter and then to Dubai by private plane. Latifa wrote that her sister had been held there for eight years and then drugged with tablets. “That made her like a zombie.”
The British police also launched an investigation at the time, but that did not lead to anything. An informant was allowed to speak to Shamsa over the phone, but was subsequently denied permission to go to Dubai to pursue investigations.
