A Heartwarming Royal Gesture in Dubai
In a moment that felt like it was pulled straight from a heartwarming film, patrons at a French restaurant inside Dubai Mall were treated to a delightful surprise when two princes from the UAE graciously covered their entire bill.
Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum and Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed Al Nahyan visited the restaurant without any formal entourage. They mingled with other guests, relishing their meals and creating an unassuming atmosphere before departing without drawing much attention.
When the diners requested their checks, they were informed that the princes had already taken care of everything, with the total amounting to AED 30,000 (approximately $8,200).
A French guest later shared the experience on social media, documenting the touching moment, while another Emirati user posted a clip of the royals entering the mall.
The restaurant also commemorated this extraordinary occasion by sharing a memorable photo with Sheikh Hamdan on their Instagram page. The management expressed their gratitude, labeling the encounter an honor, and they praised the humility and generosity of the two royal figures, which left a significant impact on both the staff and the customers present.
