State visit from Spain: January 17-19, 2005

[Blueice]

Thank you all for lovely photos - she looks very nice indeed. I especially like the one with her little boy (as most of children, he found his mom's purse rather interesting and 'explorable'...):)

[Reina]

She looks nice. But does she ever talk to the visitors in public. It seems as if she is shy.

[Guess Who]

thnkx for the pictures all.
Loved what she was wearing, the coat was beautiful.Lala mariam also looked really good but they both seemed upset or as if something was annoying them when they were standing together.

I agree with you, few volume in the front softens more her face .... than when her hair is flat.

salma was absolutely gorgeous today.
she is a wonderful queen, surely. she represents her role as consort so good, even a lot better than some of the future queens of europe.
she also seems to loving and caring about her son...

Maybe it's only they have to be serious when they was listning to natioanal hymne of spain and morocco,under a hard sun of marrakesh!


Salma doesn't look upset in the other pictures,she's smiling,and L.Meryem too have a smile in photo group!

Yes when they are flat in front,it makes her forhead larger and her nose stronger!

Flat hair goes well with tinny features and some shapes of face.
Yes, orange suits her more but she opts also for a light makeup this time ... maybe she took on account remarks made by members of this forum :)

It is my understanding that Muslim women don't curtsey. For more info you should see our curtseying thread:

Perhaps someone with more knowledge can explain.

KM6 and P.LS visited with the spanish royal couple the musuem of morocco-spanish culture in marrakesh.


L.Salma was in an other suit,skirt and jaket,i saw that in TV,but we don't have yet the photos,i guess that we will have too more pictures from the dinner welcoming king Juan Carlos and queen Sophia of Spain:) .

Well it has more to do with the fact that curtseying is a European custom. Religion has nothing do with it. The middle eastern monarchies dont have a customary curtsey/bow. But other Muslim countries like Brunei and Malaysia do.
I have seen Jordanian princesses curtsey though. But that is mostly because Jordanian royals spend more time with/around European royals.

What has Lalla Meryem done to her hair?
I dont like it.
I dont get what she's wearing either

you're welcome!
I'd love to see the rest of her outfit.
But I suppose we'll have to wait for the photos...

[Monalisa]

Now i'm listning to K.Juan Carlos's speech, i can't see clearly what L.Salma is wearing, it's sure a takchita, a white one, i don't know if it's L.S or L.M:) !


Humera,as for the hair thing, i wonder if L.S. didn't see my avatar and decides to be more creative with her hair :) .

Beautiful outfit!

[abir]

A larger picture from ANP. I see this outfit' material and motif a bit similar to the orange coat

[Blueice]

Lovely photos, thank you all. I love the second outfit she wears, good choice of colors and (from what can be seen) design as well. The hair up-do is also lovely and suits her very nice.
