Saudi Princesses

[COUNTESS]

You bet. She. They are away they can live ad they wish. They. Have written about it. Please, shoe pictures of women alone shopping in public and uncovered. American service women dislike having to cover, in SA. Too many books by Saudi women, princesses and others who have been there recently, report the same. It is fine you to like or defend your situation, we know better than to believe the propaganda. There are photos of your cities and all the women are shrouded. We from tbr west find being aless than a full citizen is repugnant. Why do you have religious police squads?

What can you write about their life in KSA when it is hidden behind palace walls? They are not like European or even Jordanian princesses who live their lives in the public eye. We only see them when they are on shopping trips, loading up on couture in Western capitals.

Of course, but you understand me wrong. My comment was reffering to the life of Saudi women in general.

What I read on this site is no doubt written by an uninformed busybody' therefore it sounds as if those Saudi princesses who do some designer shopping amongst other things while in the West, as one does, are Western-designer-ware starved. I want to clarify those couture-shopping trips somewhat.
Fact: Long before spring, summer autumn and winter collections of Europes latest designer ware is actually sold in Europe, those same new models are already worn by Saudi royalties in their country and the same goes for the latest models of designer jewellery and watches. Representatives of those designer-firms travell regulary four times a year to meet with Saudis royals and other VIP families, showing their wares of whats to come and taking orders which often include wedding dresses and also the wardrobe for all ladies who wear western clothes of the bride or the groom. And of course we must not forget the children's outfits for su8ch an occasion. And the same goes for the rest of wealthy Arab countries. Those representatives also used to travel to Iraq to meet with Saddam Hussain's clan but as we know today Iraq is a battlefield thanks to Western intervention.

What do you think is her point, Scooter? That they are just some women who are interested in Western Couture, which they could never wear at home or, are they very spoiled women who can indulge themselves at the cost of many and can do what most of their fellow citizens hide beneath their abayas, however it is spelled, except in very private places and among women only.

The current discussion has very little to do with the specific topic of "Saudi Princesses".

However, following the ongoing success of the Cultural Traditions in the UAE/Gulf States thread in expanding members' knowledge and understanding (and maybe even breaking down some stereotypes), those posts have been moved to a new thread in Members' Corner, The Role of Women in the Saudi Kingdom.

Nice woman! How old is she?

Sorry I have no Idea how old are she ,, All what I Know is Deena Abdulaziz is no ordinary princess, she is a Saudi Arabian deity of style. Dividing her time between New York and her native Riyadh, this globetrotting mother of three is climbing today’s fashion ranks as the new cross-cultural ambassadress of East-meets-West style.

True, her wedding dress was designed by Azzedine AlaÏa and Christian Louboutin named a shoe after her, but Abdulaziz doesn't just look fabulous, she helps others look fabulous, too. In 2006 she opened her own museum-like boutique, DNA, in her hometown of Riyadh.
Her very own boutiques website is http://www.dnariyadh.com/
She is said to be the wife of the son of Prince Nasser Bin Abdulaziz, hence taking on his name and receiving the title of princess. Apparently her real name is Deena Ali Al-Jahni, daughter of the ex-minister of Telecommunications in the KSA.

I don't really know much more about her, however from the looks of it she does seem to be a very elegant lady with a great sense of fashion

A Saudi Arabian princess is the victim of a blackmail attempt involving a video of her that could anger and shock the establishment in the hardline Islamic state.

Princess Basmah bint Saud bin Abdulaziz al Saud - more commonly known as Princess Basmah - is being held to ransom by a man who plans to embarrass her with a video - if she does not pay him £320,000.

The video shows her blowing a kiss and smoking with her head uncovered - taboos in strict Saudi Arabia

But rather than bow to the demands of the man, London-based Princess Basmah, who campaigns for human rights in the kingdom, has exposed the extortion attempt on her website and through social media channels.

The plot began while Princess Basmah was on holiday at Christmas at The Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland, according to The Daily Telegraph.

She received a message on Facebook from a man claiming to be a friend, who she refuses to name but described as a sheikh in his 30s from the United Arab Emirates.

[COUNTESS]

Good for her. She is acting as a person should. And if her nation thinks she should not do these things, perhaps, they might enter the 21st century, where women shuch as she can live normal and happy lives, not controlled by ancient views.

[Artemisia]

A video of a woman blowing a kiss and smoking is considered scandalous? And I thought Armenia is a conservative country!
Good for Basmah for standing the vile man.

[Friederike Monika]

Hello Sheikha Deena, I'm pleased you show the world what a real Middle Eastern Princess is all about. Please look up this blog: THE PRINCESS SULTANA HOAX.
Being a Princess youself please let us know how you feel about book's of lies written by Western hoax authors about your society.

[COUNTESS]

Oh, right and all the American, women, who have served in Saudi Arabia are hoaxes, too. And it is a wonderful open society, that allows women to walk the street in any garb they want or to drive cars or travel? The hoax is anyone who, believes that women, in the kingdom have right to do what they wish and live their lives, instead of having to live with archaic laws that forbid them from doing what they wish.

[COUNTESS]

Oh, there is a p.s. to this. Friedrike was abused by the American Publishing system, for which I cannot speak, but she has a personal axe to grind and does no justice to those who live their daily lives in the kingdom. As for the" miserable", life of the princess, I never got that impression.They live incredible lives.

[sana]

Sometimes it is better not to respond to strange mails and being aware of it, that members of important families - wherever they are - always seen with public eyes.
