The announcement was made just over two months after the couple welcomed their child.

In a surprise Instagram post, Shaikha Mahra wrote: "Dear Husband. As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife."

The post triggered speculation with several social media users questioning whether she was being cheated on by her husband.

Sheikha Mahra and Sheikh Mana married last year in April.

Their first child was born on May 2.

Giving a hint of possible trouble in the relationship, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum recently shared an image with her child where she wrote: "Just two of us."
