Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, has been spotted shopping in London department store Selfridges.
He has been enjoying a summer trip to the UK alongside Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, and other family members.
And this week, Sheikh Mohammed took Mana bin Mana Al-Otaiba, son of Dr Mana Saeed Al-Otaiba, on a shopping trip to the Oxford Street department store.
He was joined by Deacon Sultan bin Ali Al-Sabousi, Hamdan Sultan bin Ali El-Sbousi, Abdullah Muhammad bin Munahi Al-Qahtani and Amir Al-Falasi, with the group pictured waiting for the lift inside the shop.
The picture, which was shared on Instagram by Khalid Al Khoori, has received thousands likes and several comments.
A video posted by the same account also shows the group strolling through London close to the UAE Embassy.
The posts comes in the same week that Sheikh Hamdan shared pictures of himself riding the London Underground.
In the images shared on Tuesday, Sheikh Hamdan is standing in the centre of the busy Tube carriage, with friend Badr Ateej behind him.
“We’ve got a long way to go and Badr is already bored,” he captioned the picture.
The royal did not appear to be recognised by any of his fellow passengers.
Sheikh Hamdan also went viral last month after he stopped to take pictures with fans who spotted him in his car in the UK capital.
The video was posted to Instagram by Ahmad Jaber Al Harbi, a friend and regular travel companion of the Crown Prince, and was captioned: "When a Dubai resident spotted @faz3 in #London".
Last week Sheikh Hamdan also shared a picture from their UK trip showing three generations of the family together.
In the photo, Sheikh Hamdan and Sheikh Mohammed are with a tricycle carrying the Crown Prince’s twins, Sheikh Rashid and Sheikha Shaikha, who are sitting in the front wearing helmets, with their faces hidden by blue and pink emojis.

Chatham House Rule
A mark of Chatham House’s influence 100 years on since its founding, was Moscow’s formal declaration last month that it was an “undesirable
organisation”.
The depth of knowledge and academics that it drew on
following the Ukraine invasion had broadcast Mr Putin’s chicanery.
The institute is more used to accommodating world leaders,
with Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher among those helping it provide
authoritative commentary on world events.
Chatham House was formally founded as the Royal Institute of
International Affairs following the peace conferences of World War One. Its
founder, Lionel Curtis, wanted a more scientific examination of international affairs
with a transparent exchange of information and ideas.
That arena of debate and analysis was enhanced by the “Chatham
House Rule” states that the contents of any meeting can be discussed outside Chatham
House but no mention can be made identifying individuals who commented.
This has enabled some candid exchanges on difficult subjects
allowing a greater degree of free speech from high-ranking figures.
These meetings are highly valued, so much so that
ambassadors reported them in secret diplomatic cables that – when they were
revealed in the Wikileaks reporting – were thus found to have broken the rule. However,
most speeches are held on the record.
Its research and debate has offered fresh ideas to
policymakers enabling them to more coherently address troubling issues from climate
change to health and food security.
