- During a visit to Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Davina Geiss’s headscarf slipped while she posed for photos, prompting sister Shania to exclaim, “Illegal! Illegal!”.
- Davina later posted Instagram images from inside the mosque with a loosely worn scarf and a visible cross necklace, which triggered critical comments about respect for local customs.
- In on-show interviews, Davina and Shania acknowledged they had been noticed for the wrong reasons and said they would prepare better for a future visit.
- The family’s access to the mosque came after an invitation reported to be from Abu Dhabi’s culture minister, heightening attention on protocol during the visit.
