Sheikh Khalid, who is in his early 40s, has held senior positions as the head of the UAE’s domestic security service, deputy national security adviser and a member of the Abu Dhabi executive council, but he has kept a relatively low public profile.His elevation was part of a broader reshuffle within the ruling family that included promotions for three of MBZ's brothers.
Two other brothers, Hazza bin Zayed and Tahnoon bin Zayed, were named deputy rulers of Abu Dhabi. Sheikh Tahnoon, the UAE's power national security adviser, had been seen as a possible contender to become crown prince.
