Thank you for these pictures syima. Can you (or anyone else) tell me more about Rania's parents, what they do and where they live? How often do they get to see Rania and their grandchildren?

AFAIK< the father was (not sure if he still is) a doctor. The family is of Palestinian descent (originally from Tulkaram, IIRC) and lived in exile in Kuwait for years. Again, AFAIK, the parents still live there, although I could be wrong. I'm not sure as to how often they see their grandchildren etc.

Queen Rania's father is/was a doctor (pediatrics I think but he's retired now). He's from Tulkarm, whereas Rania's Mom is from Nablus. Yes, they lived in Kuwait for a number of years until forced out in 1990/1991 due to the Kuwait war. In an interview Queen Rania said that they (her parents) always planned to retire in Jordan. That's where they live now I presume. I also think that they see their daughter and grandchildren frequently. Queen Rania seems to be very close to her mother. Ilham Yasin has accompanied her daughter on a number of engagements in Jordan, see pics of them at the opening of the first child abuse center in the Arab world in 2000, Syima just posted those here, and at the 4Walls art exhibition opening in 2001. Also they were pictured last year in Milan, a pic of them with Salma was posted here above too, and in Paris - pic of Rania in those black boots.

Thank you barbara_41172 for all this information.

I often wonder about those who marry into royal families, it seems like the royal family becomes their only family and the family that raised them is a bit sidelined. But nice to know that in Rania's case, she is still very close to her parents and siblings and that her mother comes along with her on official duties. It would be nice to have such a support system, sort of like your own personal cheerleader!

Thank barbara_41172,

I read all of it, this is really interesting and thank for adding picture to here!

You're welcome Syima :)

That's very true, Alexandra. I am sure Queen Rania does need the support on many occasions. It's lovely that her family is there for her, especially her Mom. It's a pity that we don't hear very much about Rania's family, though. I am sure that the Arab countries are more informed than we are in the west about them. Not that they don't have a right to their privacy, of course they do but it would be nice to know more.
