When it comes to birthday parties, it looks like Zayed bin Mohammed had an absolute corker…
It seems like only yesterday that HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and HRH Princess Haya welcomed their youngest child.
But now little Zayed is five whole years old, and his family threw him a rather cute party to celebrate.
The day was captured in heartwarming snaps by Princess Haya, that show the boy cuddling with his adoring parents.
