It's been my observation over the last several years that she tends to take the summer off from her royal duties with only the rare official engagement. In the past, photos or news about her tend to revolve around family vacations to Italy or the south of France. We probably won't see much of her (at least officially) until around September.

H.M. Queen Rania of Jordan, who is a strong supporter of children's and women's rights, said on the occasion of World Breastfeeding Week that breastfeeding is not only the best choice for infants, it is also a mother’s right. Networks in place in many countries need to be supported in their efforts to promote community-friendly breastfeeding.
