UAE: Sheikh Maktoum becomes father to baby girl again, welcomes 4th daughter
The royal family of Dubai is celebrating yet another joyous arrival in what's shaping up to be a year full of blessings.
Sheikh Maktoum has now become a father for the fourth time with the arrival of baby Maryam, adding to his growing family within the Dubai royal household.
His brother, Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan, shared an Instagram story with the baby's name - Maryam.
The message was a touching nod to the newest member of the Dubai royal family, and read simply: 'Congratulations Maryam Bint Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum."
It has also been a special year for Sheikh Hamdan himself, who welcomed his fourth child in March — a baby girl named Hind. She joins her older siblings: twins Rashid and Sheikha, born in 2021, and Mohammed, born in 2023.
But the wave of royal joy continues beyond Dubai.
Abu Dhabi Crown Prince, became a father to a son named Sheikh Zayed bin Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in March this year—another celebrated addition to the UAE's growing list of royal births in 2025.
From Dubai to Abu Dhabi, these growing families have been met with warm wishes and widespread celebration, both online and in the community — underscoring the close-knit ties between the Emirates' ruling families and the pride shared in their moments of personal happiness.
