Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, the son of the Ruler of Sharjah has died!
Sheikh Khalid died in London as announced by Sharjah's Ruler's Court, and Sharjah will begin a three day period of mourning for the artistic individual who devoted his life to creativity.
Sheikh Khalid was a fashion designer and the London fashion label he created, named after his family, posted a touching tribute to the Sheikh.
His father, the ruler of Sharjah, shared a fitting video tribute.
The prince was born in Sharjah but moved to the UK aged nine where he was educated at the prestigious Tonbridge School in Kent.
He studied French and Spanish at Imperial College London before moving on to an architectural degree and art school Central Saint Martins, where he studied fashion and launched his menswear label Qasimi Homme in 2008.
Its flagship UK store opened in Soho that year, with his clothes now stocked across the globe and paraded at fashion weeks in London, Paris and the Middle East.
The UAE's Ministry of Presidential Affairs said in a statement: 'President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan mourns with grief and sorrow, the death of Sheikh Khalid Bin Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, the son of the Ruler of Sharjah, praying to Allah the Almighty to rest his soul in peace, and grant his family patience and solace.'
He was aged 39.
May his soul RIP.
