He had three sisters, one half sister and a half-brother, according to the official biography of Sharjah ruler Sheikh Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi. His twin sister, Hoor bint Sultan Al Qasimi, is the director of the Sharjah Art Foundation.Khalid's older half-brother, Sheikh Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, died of a heroin overdose in 1999 at the family's English manor house in Sussex.Al Qasimi was found dead in his London penthouse apartment in Knightsbridge on 1 July 2019. Three days of national mourning across the UAE were declared, beginning with flags to be flown at half mast. He was laid to rest on 3 July at Jubail Cemetery. His father posted images and a video of the funeral prayers on Instagram. During his funeral his father was flanked by his fellow rulers, including Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, ruler of Ajman, and Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman, Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, deputy prime minister and minister of interior, and Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, minister of tolerance.Early life and education:Al Qasimi was born on 6 April 1980.

His designs have been shown as part of London and Paris Fashion Weeks. Among some of the celebrities who have worn Qasimi outfits include Lady Gaga, Florence Welch and Cheryl Cole.In an interview with Japan Fashion TV Al Qasimi said: "Qasimi is a way for me to discuss what's going on around us whether it is politics or economics".

Don't Shoot."Al Qasimi was the chairman of the Sharjah Urban Planning Council as well as the leader of the region’s first international platform for architecture, the Sharjah Architecture Triennial – a non-profit initiative funded by the Government of Sharjah, to focus on encouraging dialogue on architecture and urbanism in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia – set to take place at the end of 2019.qasimi.com
