King Abdullah & Queen Rania, Current News & Pictures, Part 14

[niki]

OMG Rania looks anorexic in this picture. I think it's one of the worst pictures she's ever taken. She's paper thin and her face looks sunken in. I think she looks so much better and more beautiful when she's not so thin.

I've come to recognize this look on her.
QR definately looks tired, you can tell from her eyes. Im not surprised at all. She's had a very busy few weeks with engagements at home and abroad. And she's back home being the mother of four young kids (a difficult and demanding job as it is without the duties of a Queen). What woman wouldn't be tired!

King reviews regional developments with US delegation

AMMAN (Petra) — His Majesty King Abdullah on Sunday said holding a conference for Iraq's religious leaders in Amman is meant as a contribution on the part of Jordan to bring an end to the deteriorating security situation in the country, where Iraqi people are paying the price.
At a meeting with a delegation of US senators, representatives and governors yesterday, attended by Her Majesty Queen Rania, the Monarch said Jordan is continuing cooperation with Arab countries and Iraq's other neighbours to help the country overcome the difficult situation.
He told the delegates, headed by Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), that the solution to what is going on in Iraq should come from within the country itself, when its people and various political forces reach national consensus.

An interesting article about the challenges in the ME with a few mentions of Queen Rania: (Im posting the relevant excerpts)

The Amman Declaration

On December 12, 2002, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, building hope for the years ahead, announced a new U.S.-Middle East Partnership. He called it a response to the reality that Queen Rania of Jordan so eloquently termed "the hope gap." In announcing this initiative, Powell said: "It has become clear that we must broaden our approach to the region if we are to achieve success. In particular we must give sustained and energetic attention to economic, political and educational reform. We must work with peoples and governments to close the gulf between expectation and reality [to close] the hope gap."

.............The conference venue, Amman, was of particular interest. Once known as Philadelphia, or the City of Brotherly Love, Amman is the birthplace of Christianity, Judaism and Islam all three of which are still practiced in the region. Women, in particular, are well integrated into the political and social structure of Jordan. Among the Arab mayors, municipality heads, governors, municipal and community leaders from throughout the Arab republic, women and children were well represented at the conference and played a major role in the "Amman Declaration" on Children and the City.

Under the patronage of Queen Rania, conference delegates committed to new initiatives affecting early childhood development, improving the urban environment to most benefit children, and putting a high priority on educating children for the 21st Century.

I agree with you. A few month after giving birth to Prince Hashem, she looked sooo beautiful, because she didn't was so thin...

[Alexandria]

Let's please refrain from calling Queen Rania anorexic. That is a serious medical diagnosis and isn't one to be tossed around lighlty.

Nobody here can say with certainty that Queen Rania is anorexic unless they have examined her themselves or seen her medical records.

If you want to comment on her physical appearance, that's fine, but let's draw the line at diagnosing her with a medical condition.

Jordan's Queen Rania and Prince Talal bin Abdul Aziz (3rd R), brother of Saudi King Abdullah, pose 27 March 2006 in Amman with Jordanian beneficiaries who received loans to finance their small and medium projects from the National Bank founded by the Queen and Prince Talal. The bank, also known as poor people's bank, aims at giving small loans to the impoverished to help them become productive and self-dependent members of the society.

Leaders from the 22-member Arab League met today in a summit focused on the mounting chaos in Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but several of the most influential leaders in the region stayed away. Eight heads of states, including Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Saudi King Abdullah, have skipped the meeting in the Sudanese capital, where the government is under international pressure over the conflict in Darfur.

The pictures from yesterday are wonderful. Thank you everyone for posting them.
What a great collaboration between Queen Rania and Prince Talal for an amazing cause. The prince has been in Jordan 3 times in as many years to support micro-finance intitiaves by the Queen. Even better to have an entire bank devoted to such projects.

Silly thought..... I notice QR has beautiful bags. Wonder why a Queen needs to carry so much? Queen Of England always carries small. Do other Queens carry big bags? Silly question.... wonder what's in it.... Wonder if she carries wallet size school pictures of the kids or photos of her and the King. I have so many pictures of my kids and my family.. I even carry a wallet size picture of my cat cole..

Most of the time, Q Rania dresses badly.For example in the recent trip to France, she dressed like a school girl. She does not remind me queen of a country. The color combination of the clothes and the makeup are ugly. Princess Rym looks more like a princess than she does.

 

[Nad25]

I am sick and tired of people posting and critising the queen, if you dont like her than dont come on and post on her thread , post some where else!

 

[HRH Mims]

I dont know, what is wrong about her. She is very beautiful and she have great figure for someone who has several children. And her clothes are nice too.

 

[Iwona]

In this forum everyone can say the opinion, positive or negative. Not everybody thinks she is perfect. I don't find anything special in rania, her way of dressing and make up is horrible.
