Wow, she has big bags under her eyes!

 

[QueenRaniaFan]

Yea...I noticed that too. She most be tired from all the events for the independence day celebrations. I've noticed too she has looked a little worn down in recent weeks photos. Not as bright-eyed as seen in the past.

Well it has been a busy couple of months so I wouldn't be surprised if she was feeling a little tired.

Although I thought she looked quite good in the photos from the visit to the school yesterday.

Is QR attending the World Economic Forum this year? It's in a couple of weeks. The focus is Africa and it's being held there.

 

[Humera]

I dont think so. Queen Rania isn't expected to be at every regional meeting of the WEF.

She has already attended the World Economic Forum's annual meeting at Davos this year:
World Economic Forum - Annual Session in Davos: January 23-27, 2008

She also attends the WEF's Middle East meeting which takes place in May. This year she didn't, however her husband was there. This year's meeting was in Egypt, it has been held in Jordan quite a few times as well.

Apart from the annual meeting in Davos, the WEF has several region-specific meetings every year. You can find more info here:
World Economic Forum - Home
click on "Events" and you'll see the upcoming sessions and where they're taking place this year.

We might see her at the 2nd annual meeting of the New Champions.
