Agony of the billionaire sheik's secret wife who faces deportation and a husband who shuns his only son

  • Nivin El Gamal in legal dispute with Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum
  • Sheik Ahmed, one of world's richest men, refused to acknowledge their son
  • After series of court hearings and paternity test, he agreed settlement
  • But now Ms El Gamal, 38, could be deported and lose financial protection 
A woman who secretly married one of the richest men in the world fears she and her six-year-old son face destitution because of plans to deport her from Britain.
For years, Nivin El Gamal has been locked in a bitter legal dispute with Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum – an uncle of the ruler of Dubai – over his refusal to acknowledge their son.
After a series of court hearings and a paternity test, Sheik Ahmed – who is said to be worth billions – was forced to agree a generous maintenance settlement.
Now, Egyptian-born interior designer Ms El Gamal, 38, could be deported, which would mean she loses the financial protection awarded by the High Court. She says she is in the UK legally as she applied for residency when her visa was due to expire in July 2013
