In addition to having no shortage of oil, the United Arab Emirates also has a lot of princes and princesses.
But Sharjah Sheikh Sultan was a little surprised. Both of his sons died from taking narcotics, and in the end he didn't even have an heir.
In July 2019, Sharjah Sheikh Sultan was originally planning to celebrate his 80th birthday. Unexpectedly, the unexpected death of his son Khalid came before his birthday.
The noble prince Khalid died in a mansion in England. Foreign media reports are that excessive indulgence and excessive use of harmful substances. even reported the scene in detail.
The mansion where Khalid's body was found is the London Knights mansion worth 8 million pounds.
This is the place where he often holds luxurious and extravagant parties, but he did not expect that a weekend party like before would bring his 39-year-old life to an abrupt end.
The media specifically pointed out that in addition to business guests, there were also many high-end socialites attending the party.
Another dude. It's true that one can die under the peonies and be a ghost.
The old chief was naturally sad, but the prince's behavior inevitably made outsiders slander him. Khalid is the heir to the Chief of Sharjah, Sultan, and the only heir, but he does things that violate canons.
What Sultan values most is education and the development of local culture.
This chief who grew up in turmoil is courageous, tenacious and knowledgeable. He had experience of studying abroad in his early years. also sent his son to England when he was 9 years old.
In fact, Khalid is quite good. In 2008, after studying fashion design at Central Saint Martins College, Khalid founded a clothing brand named after himself "Qasimi".
Although the name "Qasimi" implies that it is the blood of the royal family, it has indeed been made into a well-known brand by Khalid. It has opened 50 branches around the world and has appeared on the stage of fashion weeks many times.
There is obviously a throne in the family waiting to be inherited, why do you have to work so hard to prove yourself?
However, judging from his subsequent indulgence, it was purely a play mentality, and his talent was just revealed inadvertently.
As his employees said, the boss is very nice, but only when he is awake. Once he comes into contact with those objects, he becomes a monster.
Khalid's extravagance is an open secret of their company.
Once in an interview, Khalid bluntly said that in the eyes of Westerners, he was too Middle Eastern . In the eyes of Middle Easterners, he is too Westernized. It is easiest for people to lose themselves if they do not rely on both.
Khalid was Sultan's second son, and the second son to beat himself to death.
Sultan’s eldest son also beat himself to death in 1999, when he was only 24 years old.
Speaking of this eldest son Muhammad is a bit sad. Although is the eldest prince, because the chief and his mother divorced, he can only bear the title of a prince without the right to inherit.
In 1989, 14-year-old Mohammed was sent to a British private school by Sultan along with his half-brother Khalid. In order for his two sons to live in peace of mind, Sultan spent 3 million pounds to buy a villa as their home.
It is a pity that Sultan thought that he had paved the way for his sons in life, but little did he know that it became the starting point for their death.
Perhaps it was the influence of his life experience. Muhammad appeared to be well-behaved, but turned rebellious. skipped classes and fell in love, picked up girls in bars, and was so empty that he drove a car and got into a car accident.
did all the things he was not allowed to do in the traditional education he received. I don’t know if Sultan, when he was focusing on promoting culture, thought that his son had never received the enlightenment.
teachings oppose greedy enjoyment, so does Sultan’s luxurious living arrangement for his sons fall into this category?
Muhammad’s actions are yet to come.
After going to college, this lonely playboy became obsessed with taking drugs. After was discovered by Su Taner in 1995, he was forced to detoxify in a British drug rehabilitation center.
After that, Su Taner began to strictly discipline him, brought him back to the Middle East and sent him to the police academy. Who knows that Muhammad, whose nature is hard to change, is still obedient on the surface, but in his heart he is always looking for opportunities to rebel.
In 1999, he and his family went to live in a mansion in the UK. Before the vacation officially started, he locked himself in the room on the first day when no one was paying attention and did not come out.
Like his short-lived brother, he was also found dead suddenly the next day. The cause of death was the ingestion of narcotics that had been hidden in the room.
That year, he was only 24 years old, so he gave himself up casually.
If Su Taner still had some confidence at that time, twenty years later in 2019, he would have no way out.
The second son, and the only son qualified to inherit, gave himself up in the same way, but even more disgracefully.
Both of his sons didn’t give him a good face, which was pretty bad for Su Taner.
In 1998, Sharjah was awarded the reputation of "Cultural Capital of the Arab World" by UNESCO. As the leader, Sultan let his two sons become a black hole in the reputation. Isn't that a bit ironic?
Some people say that it was Sultan's decision to let his son go to England to receive an open Western education that cut off his own future.
This is both true and false. There are many princes from Middle Eastern countries who go to study in the West, but nothing like his family.
I can only say that Sultan, the hands-off shopkeeper, was too hands-off, born without education. may have been educated, but the path he took with money was ultimately wrong.
Sultan took Khalid's body back to Sharjah and held a state funeral ceremony for him.
During the three-day mourning meeting, flags were flown at half-mast. What Khalid got in the end was nothing but the funeral.
He was buried in a pile of sand, with no tombstone or words, only a few stones as his final mark.
