Great news, it just takes ten years after their visit to Netherlands. The visit could be before Jordan´s Independence Day.

Finally a state visit ... that`s wonderful.
I guess it will be before May 20 because the king & queen will be busy with CP Hussein`s graduation from Georgetown University (SFS) scheduled on May 21st in DC.

A busy year for the King and the Queen of the Belgians who will host an incoming royal state visit from Jordan and will go on two outgoing royal state visits of their own, respectively to Japan and the Netherlands.

I am still looking forward to Queen Fabiola's Spanish wedding gift tiara making an appearance again. Given that the tiara can be worn in many different configurations, including different sets of stones, I suspect Queen Mathilde may wear it more than once in the same year, assuming of course the tiara is indeed available to her (as of now, all we know is that the Queen's charity owns it as per Fabiola's will).

And both set of parents has four children, with two girls and two boys apiece. Should have lots in common to discuss.

Rania could give some tips on the teenage years

It would have been great if the younger Jordanian kids came. Hashem and Emmanuel are the same age, and Salma is a year older than Elisabeth.

Thats also my impression, that they arrived separately.

It's nice that they met with the Belgium couple before the visit.

Queen Mathilde looked every inch a royal. I love it when royal ladies stick to traditioal dresscodes when highest protocol requires so. Too bad that Rania has no feel for this.

Perhaps she came from London after attending the wedding ceremony of Saad Kurdi, Princess Basma`s son.

It's hard to tell which tiara Queen Mathilde is wearing. Probably either the bandeau of the provinces tiara or her laurel wreath tiara. Queen Rania wear mot likely her bracelet tiara.
