The ex of Dubai's ruler will have sole liability regarding tutoring and clinical consideration of their kids after the High Court administered he manhandled her.


Sheik Mohammed receptacle Rashid Al Maktoum "reliably showed coercive and controlling way of behaving", an appointed authority dominated.


The decision is supposed to be the last significant choice for the situation between Sheik Mohammed, 72, and his 6th spouse Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, 47.


She escaped the United Arab Emirates in 2019 and presently lives in the UK.


In the judgment distributed on Thursday, judge Sir Andrew McFarlane - the most senior family court judge in England and Wales - restricted Sheik Mohammed's parental obligation regarding his girl and child, Al Jalila, 14, and Zayed, 10, who the appointed authority controlled could be named, in spite of their young ages.


In the wake of escaping to the UK almost three years prior, Princess Haya, girl of Jordan's previous King Hussein, applied for the kids to be made wards of court and requested the High Court to make a series from discoveries about Sheik Mohammed.

The judge said he accepted Sheikh Mohammed loved the two children, who loved him back.

But he said there was an "absence of any acceptance of responsibility, expression of remorse or understanding of the impact" of his behaviour on his former wife.

Sir Andrew found Sheikh Mohammed's behaviour towards his ex-wife was domestic abuse "conducted on a scale which is entirely outside the ordinary circumstances of cases heard in the family court in this jurisdiction".

He added: "Given his immense power and wealth, the potential for the father, and those in Dubai who do his bidding, to act remorselessly against the interests of the mother has been proved during these proceedings."

The judge said the "sustained" abuse towards Princess Haya likely had "a profound impact upon every aspect of her day-to-day life and her emotional wellbeing".

In December the High Court awarded Princess Haya, the youngest of Sheikh Mohammed's six wives, a lump sum settlement of £251.5m to cover the cost of running two multi-million pound properties in London and Surrey, a security budget, holidays, salaries and accommodation for a nurse and a nanny, armoured vehicles for the family, and the cost of maintaining various ponies and pets.

Princess Haya said in a statement after the latest ruling that she and her children "are not pawns to be used for division".

She said: "There are no words, no words at all, to describe the love, respect, admiration, and pride I have for the two bravest souls of all, Jalila and Zayed."

A spokesperson for Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said the ruler maintained his denial of the allegations made against him and wished to make clear that: "He loves his children and cherishes their love for him. He has always cared and provided for them, and always will."
