In 2015, a royal employee of the House of Nahyan gave an interview to Middle East Eye alleging that Sheikh Hamdan Al Nahyan and several junior members of the al Nahyan had attempted to orchestrate a palace coup against his brother Khalifa Al Nahyan then the Ruler of Abu Dhabi and the President of the UAE. However, the coup would be foiled by Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Interior Minister Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
