When a Godolphin-owned horse wins the Golden Slipper on Saturday – and that is looking like a distinct probability – will anyone dare to ask trainer James Cummings about his views on women’s rights?

The UN warned Dubai’s ruling family that it intended to publicise concerns that a runaway princess had been killed days before photographs of her with Mary Robinson surfaced.

It’s not what you expect a modern-day princess to say. “If you are watching this, it’s not such a good thing. Either I’m dead or I’m in a very, very, very bad situation”

Mary Robinson was criticised for becoming a ‘willing pawn’ in the Princess Latifa case

Sheikha Latifa has made no public statement since she was allegedly captured at sea last March trying to flee Dubai.

Most women in the Arab world are disadvantaged—and the most privileged women often have it worst of all.

Mary Robinson has said that she has no regrets over getting involved in the case of a Dubai princess who had tried to flee the United Arab Emirates.
