Yesterday they ate during lunch: fried vegetables, spaghetti con bolgnese accompanied by vegetables and boiled potatoes, fruits and water.

Reeda I can open them; if you can´t go to www.ibl.se and search rania.

In Italian press the king is massively overshadowed by Rania. Everybody, even politicians etc, want to meet her more than him. The events she will attend will probably be more crowded. Is it like that everywhere they go? How do he feels about that?
You are right. I think because they all like Queen Rania in Italy. I have never heard a negative comment on her. They all say she is beautiful, elegant, classy, smiling, friendly, intelligent, modern.....
They both are always nice to every body.
Even the Chef of the hotel Majestic, where they were staying, said they were extremely nice and friendly.

This is a state visit and they are shopping which seems in between events on their free time.

should they stay in the hotel in their free time - not in Rome!

I also like the photo of Iman with her father very much, really cute

Thanks for all photos!
It is great that the reigning couple was accompanied by other members of the royal family. However, I think that children should be left at home during state visits because they tend to look out of place during official engagements.
