But the House of Lords heard this week the UK had made no diplomatic inquiries about her safety to her father Sheikh Mohammed, leader of Dubai, or the UN. Latifa, 33, was trying to flee across the Arabian Sea when she was snatched by commandos.

The Dubai royals insist Latifa is in good health and is “being looked after by her family”.
