I must say, TM are very hard working, aren't they? Does Petra publish a list of how many official engagements and/or official trips they take each year, like the British royals? They seem to be the hardest working monarchs in the Arab world.

Petra often mentions the public engagements the King and Queen might attend or trips they might take abroad, but no detailed list is made available.

I see the last time a woman with Queen Rania. She has a dark brown skin. Is she one of her bodyguards or is she a lady in waiting?

you mean QRania,ya, she changed her body guard, it used to be that man we see all the time behind her since she became queen, now it's this lady, don't know much about her;)
 
actually I think they're both her bodyguards, the man and the woman.
The lady's seen more frequently with Queen Rania in Jordan than abroad.

I look for the Chrismar card for this year?
thanks...
 
Veram98 told us about an article in Elle, which will, hopefully, stop any Divorce Rumours.
A huge Thank you in the name of the Jordanian Moderators to Veram98.

Here is a quote from the article with translation (translated by Veram98):
"ELLE: Il y a pourtant actuellement une rumeur persistante faisant état de divorce, voire de votre prochaine répudiation...

Rania: J'ai en effet entendu dire que cette rumeur courait. Et que certains médias en avaient même parlé ! Je ne sais absolument pas d'où elle vient. Toutes les personnes publiques sont au centre de telles attaques sur leur vie privée, je le sais, c'est ainsi. Je suis aussi une personne «privée» et certaines rumeurs, comme celle-ci, peuvent me toucher. Nous en parlions justement ce matin avec mon mari au petit déjeuner. Il m'a conseillé de ne pas y accorder d'importance, en me disant: «Ecoute, je préfère que l'on raconte que notre couple ne vas pas bien et que ce soit faux dans la réalité, plutôt que l'inverse.» Il a raison ! C'est d'ailleurs la vérité. Nous sommes mariés depuis treize ans et nous avons établi une relation de confiance et de compréhension mutuelle, atteint une maturité dans notre couple que nos apprécions véritablement tous les deux.

ELLE: Vous apportez donc une démenti officiel dans ELLE !

Rania: (Rires) Oui ! Je démens officiellement toute rumeur de mésentente, de divorce ou de répudiation. Tout va bien !"

English translation (not perfect, I know it!):

ELLE: There exists however currently a persistent rumour stating a divorce, even your imminent repudiation...

QR: I have indeed learned that such a rumour is circulating. And that even certain media were talking about it! I absolutely do not know from where it comes. All public people are in the center of such attacks on their private life, I know, it is it like this. But, I am also a "private" person and certain rumours, like this one, can touch me. We precisely spoke about it this morning with my husband having breakfast. He advised me not to attach importance to it, while saying to me: "Listen, I prefer that one tells that our couple is not doing well and that this is false in reality, rather than the reverse." He is right! It is the truth by the way. We have been married for thirteen years and we have established a relation of mutual confidence and comprehension, reached a maturity in our couple that we truly appreciate both.

ELLE: You thus express an official denial in ELLE!

QR (laughing): Yes! I deny officially any rumour of disagreement, divorce or repudiation. Everything is o.k.!
