She married a prince: the hard-to-believe true story of a waitress from Minsk

A rare girl dreams of marrying a prince. For Natalia Aliyeva from Minsk, the dream came true. The girl comes from a simple family, in 2000 she graduated from high school and entered the Institute of Physical Education, and in her free time she worked as a waitress in one of the elite hotels in the Belarusian capital.

In August 2007, a fateful meeting took place. Natasha carried a glass of juice to the room where the Prince of Dubai, Said bin Maktoum al-Maktoum, who had flown to Belarus for a shooting competition, was staying.

As soon as he saw the Slavic beauty, Said decided to return home only with her. Natasha could not resist the nephew of the ruler of Dubai, a billionaire and an athlete, and agreed. A week later, the sheikh asked Aliyeva’s parents for her hand in marriage, and in return they did not oppose their daughter’s female happiness. And he blessed the young.

Natasha’s father insisted on an official marriage, and the lovers got married in Minsk. The wedding was very modest: the groom was afraid that they would find out about his wedding before returning to the Emirates.

In September 2007, Natasha got into a fairy tale in reality. After arriving in Dubai with her husband, she immediately received the keys to her own residence, a luxury car with a personal driver, luxurious outfits and jewelry, bodyguards and other pleasures of a rich life.

Relatives treated the daughter-in-law warmly. Well-received Natalia and the first wife of Said al-Maktoum. Yes, yes, it’s the main fly here. Aliyeva had to share her husband with another.

Natasha converted to Islam and became Sheikha Aisha al-Maktoum and soon gave birth to a daughter. Unfortunately, after years, harmony in the family began to disappear. Aliyeva, who grew up in a different country with a different mentality, wanted to be heard and given the right to choose.

Constant arguments led Said to move away from his wife and in 2015 he brought his third wife into the harem. In the end, the relationship broke down, and Natasha, as they say, was left alone. She still lives in her mansion with her daughter, her husband fully provides for her, but she herself does not see him.
