Battle Royale

The Princess has fled to England with the couple’s two young children and is now reportedly holed up in the family’s $150 million London mansion. The Sheikh is said to be furious with his wife, accusing her of treachery and betrayal. As to the cause of this marital contretemps there’s much whispering, but as Tom Steinfort reports, it’s probably linked to another mysterious family scandal. Last year one of Sheikh Mohammed’s daughters, 33-year-old Princess Latifa, also tried to escape from Dubai, but failed. In an exclusive interview with 60 MINUTES, a former palace insider explains the complicated and captivating machinations of this privileged – and troubled – royal family.
