It's not what you expect a modern-day princess to say.
"My name is Latifa bint al-Maktoum," the statement to the camera begins. "My father is the leader of Dubai" and "I am making this video because it could be the last one I make. Pretty soon I am going to be leaving – somehow."

Interesting...Indiana State is truly in the middle of nowhere...well 3 hours to Chicago...
I figured he’d want to be close to someplace fun even if the school was not.
