It's not obvious that Rania would go with him. Sometimes she doesn't go with him when he goes on a working trip to the U.S.

Why do you not believe the White House Press Office?

Maybe you will trust more the Jordanian embassy in the US?:

"King Abdullah, accompanied by Her Majesty Queen Rania, will start the several-day visit on 28 February with a meeting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in New York on expanding the UN's efforts to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and foster Middle East peace and stability ....."

I do of course believe the White House press. What I was saying is that it is not "obvious" she would automatically accompany him. Of course if it is officially announced that she will, then presumably she will.

Hmm, I'm an anaemia sufferer and I think it's safe to say she's not anaemic....

My point is that I said she is pale like an anemic person NOT she is anemic. I am anemic also and I am pale because of it.

You're right. She does make the rounds when she's in this part of the world. I haven't seen any news today to see if there were any headliners. I remember when she was on Good Morning America last year and Diane Sawyer couldn't get her name right!

Looking at the pictures of Abdullah at Princeton, Rania doesn't seem to be with him. Does anyone know if she has her own agenda this trip?
