I am confused, I just checked the WEF news at their website, and they don't mention the participation of queen Rania

She's definitely attending, she does so every year because she is a YGL board member.

Here's details fo her session,

I think this is the third or fourth time that she has worked closely with Gordon Brown.

[jroneida]

CNN and Reuters both say that she's expected to be there

She was billed to take part in today's working session with the actress, Emma Thompson and students picked by the British Council but there was no sign of her. Maybe there was a change of schedule for her.

[Little_star]

She definitely wasn't there?

I only knew of tomorrow's session but when I was looking through the programme today I saw her name listed.

She wasn't in the photos, only Emma Thompson with the teenagers.

It looks like she canceled participating on the WEF this year, on the scheduled sessions, there is no mention of her.

It was great to see the Queen participating, I watched the session live and her input was great. The two ladies on the panel (Indira Nooyi and Queen Rania) really held their own, imo.

Plus I loved her message of thanks to Gordon Brown, very professional.

Thanks for the link . I think her handbag is a little bit to big and I don't like her shoes, but her outfit is really nice. She was great at the discussion imo.
