Most Beautiful Oriental Royal Lady?

[Anita]

Queen Rania
Lalla Soukaina

 

[liliana]

it's absolutely incredible that lalla salma isn't on the top of the classement
she is absolutely perfect, more more beatiful than lalla meryem, soukaina and rania

 

[Lakshmi]

If I would just look at beauty, I think the most beautiful Asian royal lady is HRH Srirasmi, the wife of Crown Prince of Thailand. She is not so well known like other royal ladies, maybe b/c Thai royals are not so often discussed in Western media. Next one is queen Rania and Lalla Salma. I agree that Salma of Morocco is a real beauty but again she is just not so popular in the media like e.g. Rania.

I completely agree with you, lalla salma is of big beauty, she has perfect features and body, it's pity that she isn't popular in media, because she is in the top for her beauty and intelligence
in all case, in Morocco people adore her and find that she is the most beautiful and intelligent princess

1. Queen Rania of Jordan
2. Lalla Salma of Morocco
3. Princess Noor of Jordan Do you mean the QUEEN Noor???

Orient / Proche-Orient - Morocco is not oriental!

Hmm. Seems to some confusion over what Oriental means exactly. I take it to mean "of the Orient", the Orient being the Far East.

Oriental comes from the Orient indeed. In many languages we make a difference to the middle and the far est, in French: Proche-Orient and Orient.

But Morocco really is as western as Portugal or Spain. Morocco is not oriental, Morocco is North Africa!

So all the Lalla's should be out of competition in here....

3. Princess Noor of Jordan Do you mean the QUEEN Noor???

Princess Noor bint Asem bin Nayef is a beautiful lady. She is married to her cousin Prince Hamzah bin al-Hussein of Jordan, himself also a quite handsome. The two joined the King and Queen of Jordan during his State Visit to the Netherlands.

Here is a picture of Prince Hamzah and Princess Noor.

Ah thanks.

Yes, they are BOTH beautiful.

It's not Princess Badiya (and her husband) but her eldest sister Rahma and her husband HE Alaa al-Batayneh.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I've never understood the endless praise for Salma, aside from her striking hair, I find her features very harsh and think she has quite a masculine bone structure. There's little softness to her face.

As for her profile, might it have something to do with the fact that she actually has very few activities and does very little?

Just my thoughts. I couldn't have said it better.

Lalla Salma, Lalla Meryem and all the others from the Moroccoan Royal House do not belong to the list with 'most beautiful oriental Princess' because some parts of Morocco are geographically even more in the west than Spain, it is really NOT Orient.

 

[Akilah]

1. Princess Masako
2. Princess Sarah of Brunei
3. Countess Alexander of Denmark, she is of Asian descent

As I said previously the term Orient may be used to refer to the Middle East, it has been done for many many years. I have quit a few Arab friends who refer to the Middle East as the Orient, as that is a well-established and traditional description.
Here's some links on the subject
Orientalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Henri M.]

With the best will of the world, even the 'middle east' can not cover Morocco.

The country is in the Maghreb, the Northwest part of Africa, just divided from the Iberic peninsula by the narrow Street of Gibraltar (which is English).

Your own map proves that Morocco is not even near the Orient.

This is a Chit Chat thread. The question is obviously subjective and is not meant to be taken too seriously.
It's certainly not the place to indulge in argumentative pedantry.

Let's keep it light-hearted and amiable please.

thanks.

Ok then. There are too many oriental Princesses to choose from.
What sall I say? Lalla Máxima?

 

[Lisele]

Queen Sirikit of Thailand
Princess Alexandra of Denmark, Countess of Frederiksborg
Crown Princess Masako of Japan
Crown Princess Sarah of Brunei

 

[shrifia]

I agree with you Henri M. moroocco don't belong to the orient


here my choises:
princess noor of jordan
Princess Alexandra of Denmark
Crown Princess Sarah of Brunei

for Q.rania I would not say that she is pretty because in my opinion to be beautiful is to be natural and it's not case of rania,and we can notice that from her pictures before all that Plastic Surgery,it's the seem for Sheikha Mozah.

 

[el-khanz]

1. Crown Princess Masako of Japan
2. Princess Kiko (Princess Akishino) of Japan
3. Queen Rania of Jordan
4. Queen Saleha of Brunei
IMO, these ladies have a great combination of the three B (beauty, brain, and behaviour)

 

[hilal]

The Late Queen Alia of Jordan
The Late Shams Pahlavi
The Late Leila Pahlavi

Now

Princess Sumaya El Hassan
Princess Ghida Talal
Princess Badiya El Hassan

 

[auntie]

The third wife of the Sultan of Brunei is quite captivating IMO!

 

[carlota]

perhaps we can call this thread "non european royal ladies" considering everyone has a different concept of orientalism

i forgot to add princess khaliya aga khan to my list. i think she is incredibly beautiful and elegant (although i will add her in a parentesis as we have not seen many pictures of her appart from those of the wedding). the same applies to the wife of prince hashem of jordan, the saudi arabian princess fahdah. i have only seen one picture of her, but she seems stunning! i'm looking forward to newly released pictures.

I think that you are wrong
Lalla Salma is the image itself of the feminity
Her features are absolutely perfect, beautiful eyes, pulpous lips, perfect nose, and a superb body
She remind me a lot princess Grace of Monaco, and I think that none princess, has her beauty and her charisma
Remember that at the time of the Thailand's celebrations, she was the most admired lady, all journalists focused on her

 

[Henri M.]

I agree that Lalla Salma, onherself no oriental Princess, is a stunning beauty. She is a walking advert for L'Oréal with her fairytale deep-red hair.

I completely agree with you, personally I don't like her features, they aren't harmonious and the shape of her face isn't nice (very small chine, and big forehead)
in addition, she hasn't a good taste, a lot of make-up and very flashy clothes
and her way to be in public isn't very refined

That's merely your opinion. You're entitled to disagree with me, however that doesn't maek my opinion (and the various people who agreed with me) wrong.

She remind me a lot princess Grace of Monaco, and I think that none princess, has her beauty and her charisma

I can think of half a dozen princesses who are much better looking and composed, most of those are in the Moroccan Royal Family! As for her charisma, she usually comes across poorly at her offocial events imo. Her body language is often stilted and unsure, very disappointing for a future queen.

Remember that at the time of the Thailand's celebrations, she was the most admired lady, all journalists focused on her

I remember the Thai celebrations I guess we were reading different papers as I recall a great deal of press focusing on the Thai crown princess.

For me Queen Rania
