Arabic Royal to Compete in Beijing

Britain’s Zara Phillips may be out of the Olympics, but there will still be royalty at the Beijing Olympic Games. Sheikha Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the daughter of the ruler of Dubai, will represent the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Tae Kwondo in August.

The young princess has medaled in the last two Pan-Asia games and has been twice chosen the UAE’s Best Female Sportsperson.
