He'd have to kidnap them. That's not as easy as it sounds, especially from the UK. And there would be significant political consequences.
But he already did that. He kidnapped his first daughter from Cambridge and there were no consequences.
True, but that was in 2000. There was an investigation opened, but nothing came of it.
Now you have a second daughter kidnapped, a high-profile divorce case with a damning ruling against the Sheikh, finding that he kidnapped both of the other daughters and conducted a campaign of abuse against Haya. The judge even implicated the British Foreign Office in withholding information about Shamsa's case. I have no doubt he has the resources at hand, but it'd be hard to ever restore that diplomatic relationship. He can bide his time and lure the kids back when they are older.
Doesn’t matter. If he wants them back, he will get them back. Britain can huff and puff all they want but at the end of the day, they’ll do nothing. Those kids are Emirati citizens, not British citizens.
Haya has diplomatic accreditation in the UK through the Jordanian Embassy, which extends to her children. She is not some random Emirati expat. The first Vanity Fair article linked earlier points out that Dubai, while rich, is dependent on bringing in tourist and expat dollars. It's not like kidnapping his own kids is going to tank Dubai or something, but all that mixing freely with royalty and the elites? Not if you get Ronan Farrow or the like on your case, not to mention the diplomatic fallout.

She is the first lady of Dubai.
The senior wife. The consort. The real deal.

Don’t judge so harshly. This woman had balls to run away why most just stay with their tyrants.

I don't agree with that at all.
Have you not read what he’s done this far? Why do you think he would not be able to get to her?
DP - I hope she has good bodyguards.
