I found the Harper's Bazaar March edition that had been mentioned a while back. I liked the article and it has some pictures that I think are unique to the article. I am a little fuzzy on the rules regarding picture scans and if they should go here or into the QR picture topic

jroneida, you can post the scans in Queen Rania's picture thread. You'll have to upload them to an image-hosting site first.

Suria, it is nice to know I am not the only one who sees these things We have different perspective because we saw this lady at the beginning and since in real life and the big changes with our own eyes, not just photo's. We could say about the other changes too but perhaps people will not like it, but we know because we see

Here are the Harper's Bazaar photos. They are from the British edition March 2008. The interview that goes with it is worth a read as well, if people can track down the magazine

Thanks for the photos!

I know people who have seen Rania in person who would disagree completely with what you said.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder at the end of the day.

If you read my post you would see that I did not say she ugly woman. I said that having seen her several times since she was a princess till now, the changes are huge and I prefered her when she was more simple and natural when she was first queen and that she looks different close up in person to how she looks in professional photographs. If you stand close to her you can see the ridges in the nose and that she has deep set eyes. I did not say it was a crime to have these things, just an observation and to reply to a question that Shalu asked me. Suria has see n the queen too many times up close and she agrees with what I said and our information is first person not friend of friend things.

I did also see her several times in person. Of course, she changed since 2000 (when I saw her for the first time in person) - everybody changes with the years (just look on your own photos of 2000). But for me she is still a very beautiful woman (in flesh, not only in magazine pictures!) with beautiful eyes, and she looks more regal now than before and is much more a personage than the just very pretty young girl of 1999/2000.

Each to his or her own taste

I did not say that you made such a claim. Moreover I did read your post and I disagreed with it. That is allowed, as demonstrated by Veram98.

I refer you to my last post
