Queen Noor: Current Events

[tipper]

Ali was in Jordan and did not visit his father's grave, Hamzah did come back to Jordan for a few days, but a few days later , last Feb, he and his wife did attend something, I think that's very odd.

Just because she wasn't seen on tv visiting her husbands' tomb that day doesn't necessarily mean she wasn't there. Maybe the cameras simply weren't there at the time...or...the media decided to focus on KA and his nuclear family...

[nicky81]

they say in the jordan newspapers that she was sick thats why she didnt came and also her children..you can check the ewspapers on 7 feb or 8 feb alrai newspaper............ B)

I think you've hit on a very good point. Perhaps the Queen and her children made a more private visit to the late King's tomb. Perhaps they purposely chose an out of the way time when not as many photographers (or apparently none at all) would be around. I'm sure that it's a very emotional day for the Queen and her children, and not something that she would want to be publicly recorded for the world to see or invade upon.

And if she did not visit the tomb on this day, what about the many other occasions, more "regular" days that she does visit the tomb unphotographed.

Just because she was not seen making a visit to her husband's tomb does not mean that she doesn't care or has forgotten about him.

she look so pretty :flower: :flower: :flower:

[Bubbette]

i thought she looked a little tired.

[maryshawn]

She's really keeping a low profile now that her book tour is ending or over. Has anyone read about where she's living, what she's doing, etc.?

[hrhcp]

Does she have any male friends beyond Jordan ?

[Bubbette]

I think she said she did, more or less, in an interview--but very subtly. Can you imagine her not having male suitors?

[hrhcp]

She's in what I would call an impossible position / role ..... I imagine with the press hounding her and the prominent role men play in the Arabian culture, and the status of her deceased husband .... she would have to be very delicate about the ardours of her suitors.

[Humera]

I remember Larry King asking her if she could ever get married again and she said she couldn't even think about it. I personally dont really think she'll get married, not if she doesn't want to jeopardize her son's position as crown prince of Jordan.
She has made several public appearances in the US this month. Here are some pics:

Queen Noor was the epitome of a class act. She looked elegant without being over the top or excessive, modest but beautiful.

Such a shame that she leads such a low profile life these days. She is such a tremendous example to the future Queens and to elegance in general.

[silver charm]

Can someone in Jordan tell us (people not in Jordan) if photos of QR & QN are in the local paper? And any reaction to the American queen wearing traditional Jordanian clothing and the Palestinian queen looking very American-o.

[Alexandria]

Queen Noor's siblings may have attended the wedding but because they are not famous, maybe no one phogoraphed them or no photo agency picked up the photos.

Just because we did not see pictures of them does not mean that they didn't attend their nephew's wedding. They are private individuals even if their sister and nephew are famous. It is very likely that no member of the media even recognized them to take their picture or interview them.

[bluetortuga]

Anyone notice that Q. Noor has not posted any pictures of CP Hamzah's official wedding celebration on her website? She posted the private ceremony pictures rather quickly; but there is not even a mention of the official celebration on her website. I don't think this is coincidence.

Hold on a moment! Queen Noor said she "never takes off her blue evil eye" bracelet from her publisher. I've seen her wearing it but it must have taken a night off in Spain......

the little blue eye that you see everywhere in the ME is to protect you from 'the evil eye'.
