She graduated from the American University in Cairo. That still doesn't account for her near-perfect English though.

She was raised in Koweit where English is an official language. It's natural for all the people to speak two languages.
As the same it's natural in Morocco that people without any education speak french as well as arab.

No, people with no education are far from speaking a fluent and correct french in Morroco. You really have to be educated. Besides, as far as the queen is concerned, even if she didn't speak very well english at the beginning, she must have learnt it when she married the king, and when she became queen . I mean that even if she didn't speak, she would have had lessons to improve her level. That goes with the modern image that the hashemite monrachy is trying to give. It's about communication.

Actually I think both Queen's looked beautiful. Princess Lalla Salma looks good in more exotic dressing and jewelry, it seems natural on her, whereas on another it would look silly. Both ladies are working hard for their Country.

QRania attended primary and secondary school at the New English School in Kuwait (with a co-educational British curriculum); she obviously started very early. Besides, her English is better than that of her father-in-law, the late king who never got rid of his very heavy Arab accent while speaking English.

I wasn't 100% certain about her schooling, I guess that settles it then.

In Kuwait? Arabic (official), English widely spoken - source
This is also the case through out the Gulf region. Arabic has always the official language

Here are the links to the pictures:

This could be why she had the red Empowe(red) shirt. It states that Bono is a supporter of that charity, perhaps he gave her the shirt

Both Salma and Rania looked beautiful. I think Salma is very stylish in yellow with sleek pants. Rania was not always perfect. SHe had plastic surgery to improve her profile (I have seen her pictures in her early twenties before she had a nose job).

Rania is well spoken. SHe has lots of experience. I think other posters are right. She would be a great example in the area of public speaking and ease for Salma. Having said that I thought in the video Salma looked very natural. She talked she smiled and was a good host. It was not her role to step into the stoplight. It was to show Rania some of the Unicef programs. I thought Salma acquited herself quite well.

Did you remark the sleeves of Meryem's kaftan, they are split, it’s original and beautiful; I found her Kaftan sumptuous, and it suits her very well
About Salma’s kaftan, I saw on one photo the back; it’s nice, too bad that the embroideries of the top are so ugly
