The Emir, and his glamorous wife, were already the guests of the French Republic in 2007 and 2008 during the lavish ceremonies of the National Day.

I am surprised to see that Sheikha Mozah does not accompany Emir. Is the lady in a white shirt sitting next to Emir Sheikha Al-Mayassa?

WOW !!! I have to say that Madame Bruni Sarkozy looked magnificent in the dress resembling a shower curtain. Sheikha Mozah is perfect as usual in a nicely tailored dress. The dark pink colour brought her complexion out.

No that is Sheikha Hind.

 

[Al_bina]

Thanks for information! Does Sheikha Hind occupy a post in the government that make it possible for her to attend official meetings at the upper level?

 

[salma]

Mozah looks great during dinner.

She is head of her fathers affairs/office.

[Marsel]

Even the Daily Mail mentioned the visit of the Emir and Sheikha Mozahh (although they were more intersted in Carla Bruni). Both women looked beeautiful, although I prefer Sheikha Mozah's appearance.
