Princess Haya Bint al-Hussein arrives at High Court for hearing over children
She fled ruler of Dubai husband Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum last month
Allegedly left because she 'learned disturbing facts' about treatment of her husband's daughter Princess Latifa, 33, who tried to escape Dubai herself
Also reported Princess Haya had 'inappropriate contact' with bodyguard
Princess Haya fled after learning 'disturbing facts' about the Sheikh's treatment of his daughter Latifa, 33, pictured, who campaigners say is being 'held prisoner' in Dubai after a failed escape attempt
Campaigners say she is drugged and held as a prisoner in her own home.
Princess Haya is said to have decided to flee when she learned the truth about Latifa and feared the same could happen to her if she remained in Dubai.
She has hired Fiona Shackleton to represent her in the proceedings - one of the UK's top divorce lawyers who represented Prince Charles during his divorce from Princess Diana.
Sheikh Mohammed has hired Helen Ward who represented former Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone in his divorce from his wife Slavica.
Meanwhile it was previously alleged that Princess Haya had 'inappropriate contact' with bodyguard Russell Flowers.
The former infantry soldier turned close protection officer, who separated from his wife last year, subsequently declined to comment on his friendship with the mother-of-two.
