Rania's Gold Shoes

[julial]

I am afraid with the rate of their spending habits, some sort of revolt might happen in the future.

[QueenB]

Famous people fly in hairstylists all the time.... Mariah Carey would fly people into wherever she was just to color her hair.... but it's true - Rania and Abdullah are not stars... somewhere on one of the threads, someone mentioned that as Princess, Rania did not live lavishly... they did live above normal standards, like very wealthy Jordanians - but it is doubtful KH would have put up with the lavish lifestyle they live now - had they lived it then.....
QR claims she doesn't think much about what she wears, that she doesn't spend time thinking on what to wear, doesn't wear much makeup - because she says she doesn't have time to - and that she's really pretty simple in her tastes..
I think it all goes beyond hotels, hairstylists, stylists, couture, etc... it seems disrespectful to poor Jordanians when the Queen walks into poor areas in her $500 dollar stillettos and they barely have running water... She once said she would listen to the voice of the people, let the Jordanian people lead her to what they need... more propaganda?
I recently read about at a football game about 2 years ago - KA attended and people began chanting 'divorce her'.... is that how Jordanians really feel about her?
And doesn't it make him look foolish and manipulated when she spends and spends and he seems totally ok with that while he talks about being in 'solidarity' with his people?
We can go on and on about their expensive habits... such as stores being closed so Rania could shop..... I wonder how many Jordanians could have used the money she spent......

I don’t know why Rania needs silverware for $772,000, she doesn’t know how to use it. As refugee she use to eat with her fingers.

That's below the belt. I'm not a fan of Rania's but that's pretty rude.

I agree with you nicole. I'm certainly not a big fan of Rania's but that's a totally rude and unnecessary comment.

And here I thought that we might be able to have an intelligent discussion with a knowlegeable exchange of ideas and opinons.

it was always Rania's dream going down Rodeo drive and throwing money at people, and not having to worry about anything. And then saying to someone in a Chanel store on the strip "do you work on commission?? Big mistake..*holds up bags* HUGE...I have to go shopping now!" :woot: :hardhead:

As rude as the comment was, pepep wasn't lying.

Rania forgets where she comes from.(a refugee)

[QueenB]

I ignored the comment because I thought it was nasty and rude... not all refugees are so poor they've never seen silverware - many are educated and classy, just displaced... But Rania has never known poverty - no matter how 'humble' a background she came from - she always lived well.. Palestinians may be refugees, but she has never known their hardships.

That’s right.

[zento]

but I've read somewhere that her family was wealthy...her father was a well known doctor or something..

Totally Agree...

In fact, her father worked in the medical field (he was either an MD or pharmacist)...She was educated in the English speaking school of Kuwait and got her Bachelor in Business Administration from the American University of Cairo which is a private University.

[QueenB]

He was a pediatrician... :flower:

Can anyone guess or estimate the amount of $$ that QRania spent since she became queen?

Is it in millions, billions... or I think i am just exzagerating!
