Of course this is a very normal thing to spend time for shopping,and I do think Rania is not an exception,but the problem is that she wants to show herself as an exception.
Nobody wants her to be an exception,because nobody won't change the face of the world as she seems to show herself or as some want to show her.

I totally agree with you TamaraKhan.
And I don't think that these royal was shopping when they attends Conferences about poverty???

Perhaps you should re-read the original thread. The conference was not on poverty, as you keep claiming, but childhood mortality.

She participated in the conference as was expected and was praised for her speech in several media outlets. Nobody else seems to have an issue with what she did before the conference, including the other people who attended, they just seem happy that she's there.

Please DO NOT derail this thread about Rania's shopping while participating at the conference.

Yes, this thread is about Royals and shopping but its about ALL ROYALs not just Rania and surely its not about what is and what is not appropriate to do during a conference. Some posters have already made their feelings QUITE CLEAR ON THE MATTER.

Dear me what a fuss about a normal everyday activity.

Royal can't win with some people.

If they are seen doing "normal" things like (gasp!) shopping they are denounced for lowering their status in the eyes of their subjects and yet if they hide apparently behind the palace walls, tiara or crown on head and get their flunkies to go and do the shopping for them they are denounced again as not living in the real world.

People SHOP, women especially like shopping, Rania and other queens and princesses surely see nothing wrong during visits on their OFF DUTY time going to shops, museums, theatre, restaurants - in other words doing what normal people do in their free time.

These people do not owe us anything during their private moments. What do ordinary people do when they go on business trips away from home that last a few days? They eat, they sleep, they shop, they go out and generally socialise whilst they are not working - if we can do it I see no reason why the should be pilloried for doing the same thing.

Last time I checked shopping was not a criminal offence, to hear some talk on here you would have thought some of these women had been running around the street in a drunken state, with half their clothes off!

What are you expecting the likes of Rania to do? Sit in her hotel room, bag over her head (least she enjoy herself too much) and be brought food in by her flunkies but please don't let her out of the hotel its disrespectful to us all....what madness.

Royals should have the freedom of shopping without the press having to take pictures of them. I think they should have the right to do things without it being in the papers or in gossip magazines. Not to forget, even what they brought would be in the magazine, which is not a nice thing. Things should stay private. They have the right to enjoy time. Some of the pictures shown, show them happy to be buying things. Its a shame how magazines/papparzzi do to get money.

I'm not in favor of showing anyone shopping...What's the matter of seeing people purchasing things? This is the typical "showing off" of our commercial times. And I also think that Royals must not be showed shopping. This is a "parvenu" thing. Of course, they have all the rights of buying what they want..But what's up with showing in doing it in photographies? I hope that some day, paparazzies wouldn't show Royals in the W.C....

I see that many "Royals" carry their belongings themselves ! No single servant around to help with the load ??? Times have changed...

So what's the point of being a princess or a queen if you have to carry it all by yourself in a plastic bag !
