According to reports, Dubai ruler’s suspicion confirmed when he found the two together on his surprise visit to their £85million mansion in the UK. Sheikh unexpectedly returned to the mansion after attending the wedding of his three sons in Dubai in May.
Dubai ruler was shocked to see his 45-year-old wife with the bodyguard in the mansion and demanded her to return with him immediately.
‘The Sheikh came back to the house unannounced and found his wife with the bodyguard. His suspicions were confirmed, ‘ a family source told an international news outlet.
‘Having left for his sons’ wedding he was not expected to be back so early.
‘He did not tell the staff he would be coming back and arrived unannounced at the house where he found his wife and the bodyguard. They were too close for his liking.’
The senior royal family members were critical of closeness between Princess Haya and the bodyguard and often objected her giving lavish gifts to him.
Sheikh returned to Dubai while his wife and their two kids remained in the UK. The couple is set for the most expensive divorce later this month.
