London has come to be known as the divorce capital, because of the multi-million pound settlements that have been awarded here. But as the judge observed, this case was “entirely out of the ordinary”.
The divorce case, touted to be the biggest in British legal history, involves a divorce settlement worth £554 million ($734 million), which is set to protect Princess Haya, who is the youngest of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum’s six wives, and her two children from the threat that he poses to their security.
