It’s meant to honour him and was made especially for him. It’s a “bisht” not just any robe, and is worn by royals or HNWIs in special occasions only. It hardly looks like his moment was hijacked

When you work with some of the most brilliant minds in media, it’s hard to answer to ordinary ones. That’s why I’ve decided to leave Arabian Business now in its glory days. It’s been one hell of a ride. I say goodbye knowing we’ve built something incredible.
