Statement purporting to be from Dubai’s Princess Latifa says she is free to travel

Remarks attributed to emirate ruler Sheikh Mohammed's daughter come a day after a photo of her in Spain appeared online

A statement issued by Princess Latifa's lawyers, purporting to come from the daughter of Dubai's Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, declared she could now travel where I want" a day after a picture of her in Madrid airport appeared online.

The brief remarks are the first time that Latifa has been quoted since her dramatic flight from the emirate three years ago, though the lawyers, Taylor Wessing, insisted they should only be reported as coming directly from the princess herself.
