Thanks Desertrosemrk, for yet another nice picture of PHaya. Have you ever noticed that there are some royals who are so naturally poised and comfortable in the public eye. (I am camera-shy so I am impressed with this nice trait in PH). She looks very relaxed and happy to be there.

Haya looks like she's dyed her hair again, I really wish she wouldn't it never look to be in good condition when it's dyed.

 

[princessofoz]

she is such a lovely person!!! She doesn't care so much about her appearence. Compare it with Queen Rania, if Haya wants she could buy not borrow, like Queen Rania lately said, all her clothes, gowns etc. She is so down to earth and so natural. Is there nobody here who thinks the same?

And I think her marriage with Sheikh Rachid is just a love match. And I hope it will last forever...

[Amira]

Not my favorite princess but i do like what she's wearing , absolutely lovely , beautiful lady

 

[sommone]

I like the dress, but she could have worn different shoes. She looks nice though.

 

[Little_star]

Oh my goodness! What is Haya wearing?! It looks like an uglier version of the von Trapp family curtains!The hairstyle is quite ageing as well.

[zineb]

Oh my goodness! What is Haya wearing?! It looks like an uglier version of the von Trapp family curtains!

me too, first thing came to my mind was curtains version

 

[RhapsodyBrat]

well, IMO she could have chosen a plain-colored shawl or wrap instead.

 

[florecita]

Princess haya looks a bit more older with that dress

I hate it when she dyes her hair!!! She looks sooo pretty with her natural hair color.

 

[maryshawn]

I like the dress, but she could have worn different shoes. She looks nice though.

Believe it or not, that was the first thing I noticed! The shoes. The dress is Valentino and on the runway was worn belted to kind of break up the pattern. The shawl was not seen and I have no idea whether or not PH wore the belt. She might be too small to carry it off--although I don't think the shawl added anything to the whole ensemble. The whole thing just kind of envelopes her.

I agree with all who've posted they would prefer PH stop dying her hair. If she only knew how many people would love to have her natural color! And it is damaging to her hair. I've noticed that some of her recent hairstyles seem reminiscent of upsweeps worn by her mother.

[blyton]

French first lady Bernadette Chirac, Princess Haya wife of General Sheikh Mohammed .... and Nazek Hariri wife of slain former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri are welcomed by students the opening ceremony of the French school Lycee Georges Pompidou in Dubai 23 April 2006.

As with this example above, I personally feel that if there wasn't a picture of the three notable ladies present, I might not have given a second look to the article about this school being opened. I think the celebrities are the "hook" to get you to look at a news article in more depth, so that is a good thing.

I also have to agree with lizz (I think it was) who mentioned all the balls and parties and dinners the celebs attend. I too would like to see these held to a bare minimum and use the money for the charity they are helping. With some of these parties, it can really add up, but I suppose in the end, the attendees to the ball have to pledge alot of money to the cause, thus paying for the party as well as giving to the charity. My charity work has always been a hands-on volunteer thing with no parties (well, maybe we meet at the Pizza Place afterwards, but we pay our own bills).

... i find it funny that she's dedicated herself to feeding the poorest of the poor while governing an organization where only the moneyed can join (since we all can't just buy horses)...i wonder how will she reconcile these two super-separate worlds...)

This is what is called Networking. When she is at the horse stuff, they know she represents the poor charity and will often give a donation (if not from the heart, at least to impress PH as the head of the horse organization). It is done all the time. May not be altruistic, but it gets the money to the right places.

How tall is PH? In one picture with a horse at a riding event, she barely came up to the bridle. Is she even 5 feet tall? She really is a most photogenic and down to earth looking person. I really like her and admire all she is doing for charities. My hat is off to you, PH.
