Sheikh Hamdan had previously posted a picture of just blue and pink feet, letting the world know that his wife Sheikh Sheikha bint Saeed bin Thani Al Maktoum, whom he married two years ago in a private ceremony, had given birth to a boy and a girl
In the photo’s caption, Sheikh Hamdan thanked Allah for the blessing of his two newborn children.
The Dubai Media Office confirmed that the names are Sheikha bint Hamdan bin Mohammed al Maktoum and Rashid bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, with Sheikha and Rashid meaning princess and rightly guided, respectively.
