This video has been released as per the instructions of Sheikha Latifa Mohammed Al Maktoum. Her request was the video be made public in the event her safety was compromised. On 26 February 2018 the British NGO, Detained In Dubai, were contacted by a woman claiming to be Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum, the Crown Princess of Dubai and daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates. Upon initial contact, Detained In Dubai undertook rigorous enquiries to confirm the identity of the woman in question and her claims. A British solicitor, David Haigh, contacted various third parties who confirmed the contact to be true and indeed Princess Latifa II. Whilst these enquiries were ongoing and after verification of her indeed being Princess Latifa, regular and lengthly contact between the Princess and Detained In Dubai was maintained.
