You r right xavi... till now no video for the king`s speech. Maybe because of the Arab world Fast moving events .. today the death of the saudi crown prince.
 
Nice pictures but why Rania looks so tired and older, she is Skinner thank before, is she okay ??
 
you can see the wrinkles easily around her eyes in the last picture.

Even with these little wrinkles (propably because of the sunlight, she doesn't wear sunglasses) one could easily believe she is 30 years old.
