Princess Haya: News and Picture Thread, Part 1

[maryshawn]

Well, her mom had gorgeous green eyes.....I don't really know.....sometimes they appear hazel brown/green; othertimes, very green. Might be the lighting....or color she is wearing. Very lovely photos though. She is such a striking woman although I do like her appearance better when she is not wearing really tight clothing.......

Princess Haya looks very beautiful in the pictures. She has such a stunning face. Who is her mother? She looks like she could be half-British.

[monamona]

Her Highness Princess Haya bint Al Hussein of Jordan, wife of His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister, has toured the different sections of public hospitals and other healthcare centres in Dubai.
The tour, organised in coordination with the Dubai Department of Health and Medical Services, is the seventh in a row made by Princess Haya to Dubai hospitals for the purpose of getting closely acquainted with the health services available in Dubai , and finding ways of backing healthcare initiatives.

Some pics of Haya with her Mo sent to me by a friend.

Her mother is the beautiful Jordanian Queen Alia, who was killed in 1977 in tragic helicopter crash. I could post an image but see the Queen Alia thread and you will see some gorgeous images of Alia....the resemblance between Alia and Haya is so striking!!!!

Where does Princess Haya live in UAE? Does anyone have images of royal homes/palaces there? I've never seen any. When she is in Jordan, does she have her own home or does she use Ba'ab al Salaam?

Actually, Late Alia (Haya's mom) is of Palestinian origin (Al-Tokane family)

SEVENTH! Where are all the other photos. The Department of Health and Medical Services needs to get a better photographer, he's a bit slow with those pictures

I'm happy to see Haya getting involved in her new country.

The terrific part is she get's to be mentioned in his official site, it's displayed in different languages, has thousands of hits daily as I read once in a magazine. So if he allowes her to be mentioned in such a global medium, why he's blocking her in the local media? Can't stop wondering....

Old pictures of Haya :)

I believe for local activities, it's the local media which block the event; but when it is an international event (either in Dubai, in ME or elsewhere) then it's different, like when she was with PA and P-Rym at the Canadian embassy or with Sh. Mo in Dubai (12 December 2004) during the final session of the Arab Strategy Forum in the Gulf emirate of Dubai or in Beirut (24 June 2004) when they attended the 10th Arab Investment and Capital Markets Conference.

Poor thing, she shouldn't try hard and just be herself.
Looking at the pictures, she's spontaneous with the people and the camera. I saw and met some Sheikhas over the years, from different emirates, they are really "unfriendly" at all, this is the nicest word I can find. They look grumpy and never smile,covered with jewels and gold, always companied by their "people". I can understand that Sheikha Fatma had to be like this because she was the first lady when I met her but the rest, wonder why they always seem so far from normal common people. Now I study with sheikhas from Ajman, UAQ, Sharjah and RAK, they aren't down to earth, not at all.
Am glad Haya is different, one can see she is spontaneous with others and humble, acting like a real Princess. I saw Princess Aisha 3 years ago in Abu Dhabi, she was smiling all the time, simple dressed and a normal person, am sure Haya is the same.

Princess Haya is Jordanian .... Never was Emarati and never will be...
what ever she does she can't win their love
she is considered an outsider
The more she tries the more there will be people against her....
This is my opinion and what i see and hear from different Emrataies

Where is the problem then. She is Jordanian, she lives in Dubai because she is with her husband there. Isn't it normal?

I don't see this either a problem, it's the husband love which matter and that's enough.

Normal, many emirati men married outsider women. I really wonder why???

This one I don't really understand it?! People go at the opposite of the wind direction?!

TOTALLY agree with you Abir.... I bet the person you quoted is going to comment on your post. This person is another "El Jood" if not the same person with 2 user names...

Couldn't agree more, Abir. Some people never learn.
