    There’s nothing more powerful than a woman scorned — especially if she’s royalty.

    Dubai princess Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum went viral following her public declaration of divorce from husband Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum .

    “As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce,” Mahra, the daughter of Dubai’s current ruler, wrote in an Instagram statement on July 16. “I divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take care. Your ex-wife.”

    The pair raised eyebrows from Instagram users, with many wondering what went down in their relationship to cause such a public split. Commenters were quick to praise Mahra’s savage split announcement. It’s been speculated that she wrote “I divorce you” three times to invoke an Islamic practice called triple talaq, which results in an instant divorce. (The controversial practice has been banned in many Middle Eastern countries.)

    Mahra’s estranged, or ex, husband has yet to publicly respond to the split. In fact, both of their social media accounts are void of images including each other.

    What led to the public declaration? Keep scrolling for a timeline of Mahra and Mana’s marriage, leading to their divorce:
