Abu Dhabi’s crown prince of United Arab Emirates (UAE),Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, paid a surprise visit to the home of a little girl — after a video of her missing out on shaking hands with him at a public event went viral.
The schoolgirl, Aisha Al Mazrouei was among those selected to welcome Mohammad bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabi, to the president’s palace in Abu Dhabi.
In footage shared on social media by Abdullah bin Zayed, the country’s minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, Al Nahyan, clad in his white regalia, was moving in company of his entourage to shake hands with the girls.
Sadly on getting to Aisha, he had his stare focused on somewhere else, thereby accidentally passing her without shaking her outstretched hand. The occurrence left the little girl disappointed, as she can be seen wearing a worried look.

To correct this blunder, the prince paid the girl a surprise visit in her home.
In a series of post shared on social media, the crown prince was seen kissing Aisha’s forehead, shaking hands and posing in several pictures with her family members.
He also took to his social media page to share scenes from his visit to Aisha’s home.
