The United Nations has said it will raise the detention of Princess Latifa, the daughter of Dubai's ruler, with the authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Princess Latifa has accused her father of holding her hostage in Dubai since tried to flee the city in 2018.
In secretly recorded videos shared with the BBC, Princess Latifa said she feared for her life.
The footage prompted global calls for the UN to investigate the matter.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has now responded, suggesting it would question the UAE about Princess Latifa.
A spokesman said the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention could launch an investigation once Princess Latifa's videos have been analysed.
The UK Foreign and Development Office said it was a concerning case and, although it was not directly involved, it would follow developments closely.

Princess Latifah is the daughter of the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, so then, if the Crown Prince decides to follow customs by keeping his daughter out of public light, who are we to question this daughter's father? The question is the authenticity of the video and the clarity provided by authorities of the UAE on the subject. This must not be made into a global affair.
