Latifa, 33, allegedly instructed her US-based lawyer Radha Stirling to circulate a candid video of her speaking to her supporters in the event of her death or disappearance
DUBAI's kidnapped "rebel princess" Sheikha Latifa told supporters "if you're watching this I may be dead" in a chilling video she made before she disappeared.
Latifa, 33, who is said to have vanished alongside American Herve Jaubert, instructed her US-based lawyer to circulate the video in the event of her death or disappearance.
The bare-faced Sheikha, who speaks directly to the camera, can be seen wearing a simple blue top with her hair tied back.
Giving a harrowing account of her life as a member of Dubai's royal family, she says: "I am making this video because this could be the last video I make.
"Pretty soon I'm going to be leaving somehow I'm not sure of the outcome, but I'm 99 per cent positive this could work."
The Sheikha reportedly sent her last WhatsApp message to her UK-based representative Radha Stirling on Sunday March 4 from a US-registered boat at least 50 miles from India's coastline, reported.
She told Stirling: "Radha, please help me, there are men outside," before claiming to hear gunshots.
Stirling asked the princess to record the gunshots, but she did not reply.
Stirling said Latifa first got in touch with her firm Detained in Dubai on February 26, claiming she escaped Dubai where she was tortured for helping a sibling who also ran away.
Latifa said her older sister fled because she was "not allowed to make choices for her future".
She said her sister was denied choices which some people would take for granted - like driving a car or returning home at a certain time.
Latifa said she is one of Sheikh Mohammed's 30 children, in a bid to verify the video.
She claimed that by the time people watched the chilling video, she could either be "dead or in a really bad situation".
According to the UK Met Police, information about the duo has been forwarded to the National Crime Agency and Interpol to international liaison officers for them to investigate.
Sun Online has contacted the government of Dubai for comment on the Sheikha's claims.
