Queen Rania before her marriage

[Zonk]

Let's keep this thread focused on Rania's childhood. No comments about plastic surgery. I see this topic moved from Abdullah/Rania's Current Events and News thread to this one...and its not happening here.

Thanks!

Snow white...I totally agree with your assessment on why Rania never talks about her family. She only has to look around to see how the family members of other royals (Letizia, Mary, Maxima, Mette Marit) are treated. True you can't compare the European press to the Jordanian press but why court additional publicity when you don't need to. She choose to marry into the Jordanian Royal Family..they didn't.

Yea yea yea, but in QR's interview's the first thing they mention (a beautiful young women who became the Queen of jordan),which means that Beauty does count these days, next to what is within...

Beauty is literally visable - personality and intelligence have to be discovered!

Rania is a stunning looking woman for the newspapers and interviewers to pretend they have not noticed would make them look silly, they will comment but then they usually do go on about what she has to say and they are more often that not impressed.

It must be difficult at times to be beautiful and for people to think that you are superficial and perhaps stupid. Okay yes, if I had a choice I would rather have the looks and then get people to find out how great I am underneath!!

But it doesn't work that way, plainer people just have to work harder at getting noticed - yes it's unfair but then many things are unfair.

Going back to her family, I wonder if any of her family members work now that she is Queen? What happens when a member of your family becomes Queen? I guess your lives are never the same again.

I'd like to see photos of Queen Rania as a baby or toddler or young child. They have to exist somewhere.

there is just a few information about QRania's life before she join the JRF.
i know she work as secretary in one of the bank you mention and this was her job when she meet King Abdullah.
i would love to know more about her life when she studied in cairo at the american university,this is i think the most intersting part?
