FACT CHECK: NOT THE CROWN PRINCE OF ABU DHABI<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The claim accompanying the video is false. The person seen in the video is NOT the crown prince of Abu Dhabi (Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan), but a United Arab Emirates-based columnist and commentator on Arab affairs named Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi. His profile may be accessed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The video in question is from Abu Dhabi, and dates back to September 2016. The complete video, uploaded on Morari Bapu\u2019s official YouTube channel, can be seen below. In his opening remarks, an unknown speaker is heard announcing a list of guests. However, the name of the Crown Prince is not announced. Moreover, he cannot be visually spotted<\/a>\u00a0in the guests that were present for the event. Hence, it is evident that Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was not present at the event.<\/p>\n

SHARED WITH FALSE NARRATIVE EARLIER<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The same video clip had been shared\u00a0 on social media earlier in 2019<\/a>, with the claim that the video showed the Sultan’s wife carrying the Ramayana on her head as she walked towards the first Hindu temple constructed in Abu Dhabi. The narrative was false at multiple levels. The first temple in Abu Dhabi is still under construction. The foundation stone laying ceremony was held in April 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n
