As head of state, Jordan’s King Abdullah II-bin Al-Hussein is actively involved in diplomacy and contributes to national stability.
He has also disguised himself as an ordinary person (cab driver, newspaper reporter, old man, etc.) to listen to the real voices of the people, and he has a strong sense of respect from the people and is not satisfied unless he tries it himself. When Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited Jordan in July 2006, he was reportedly driven to the hotel where he was staying. In addition, it seems that not a few times he personally flies the royal government aircraft (A310 belonging to Royal Jordanian Airlines) to his diplomatic destinations.
His hobbies include skydiving, scuba diving, and rallying. His interest in the film industry led him to establish The Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts in Aqaba, a city on the Red Sea, with the help of the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.
Queen Rania was born in 1970 and is 48 years old. After graduating from Cairo-American University, she worked for “Citibank” in Amman. They met at a party thrown by then Crown Prince Abdullah II and his sister and immediately fell in love. Two months later, they were engaged, and soon after, they were married. She is the mother of four children (Prince Hussein, Princess Iman, Princess Salma, and Prince Hashem).
She is a widely known and energetic activist for women’s rights and global public health. She serves on the boards of many influential organizations such as UNICEF and the United Nations Foundation, and uses social networking to promote education, health, children, and other charitable causes.
Her beauty has become more sophisticated with age, her style is outstanding, and her sense of fashion is among the best of all the queens. As a fashion icon, she is a model, and her beauty and intelligence are attracting people all over the world.
The key to Queen Rania’s graceful dressing is white, and although she sometimes wears Jordanian national dress as part of her duties as queen, the basis of her official style is often feminine, single-piece coordination. Queen Rania’s fashion sense, which combines simple items that anyone can easily wear with royal elegance, is something to keep an eye on.
