Wish that Prince Hashem was their with his mother. That is who the garden is named after? Queen Ranis hair is quite nice. I notice that long hair is much in style. Thanks for the photo Humera.

Default Queen Rania in Italy
Queen Rania applauds Milan's efforts to promote cross cultural awareness at early age

Milan, Feb. 8 (Petra)-- Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah, an honorary citizen of Milan, visited the historical city, Thursday, where she and Princess Wijdan, Jordan's Ambassador to Italy, and Mayor Letizia Moratti took part in a class on cultural awareness at Dell’Infanzia School.

...The students welcomed the Queen by performing several songs about peace, in Italian, and greeted her with a peaceful message, in Arabic. The class room which Her Majesty visited was full of symbols of different cultures.

There was a Jordanian flag proudly hung up in the classroom with a welcome note written by the students, with their teacher's help, in Arabic. There was no shortage of rhetorical exchanges in both languages, as the Queen also bade them farewell in Italian. Petra

Lots of wonderful pictures from Petra:
