The news has sparked a frenzy on social media, with many noticing that the couple has unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted all photos of each other from their profiles. Some speculators believe the pair may have blocked each other, while others wonder if Ms. Sheikha Mahra's account was hacked.

The couple got married in May last year and welcomed their daughter 12 months later. Shaikha Mahra had previously gushed about her "most memorable experience" giving birth and thanked her doctor and hospital staff for their care.

Just weeks ago, the princess shared a cryptic post on Instagram, cuddling with her baby, writing, "Just the two of us." Some are now speculating that this may have been a hint at the trouble brewing in her marriage.
