Hmmm... Princess Firyal?

[florawindsor]

I don't want look boring, but way is always some1 saing bad for Rania????I just came look for nice pics and news and i have to read bad things.
Sorry, saing this but i don't underst that.
Thnaks for the new pics. I belive this are not being post before.

me too. i don't know why ppl who hate/dislike her so much keep such an interest on every single article/picture of her.


why don't we start a thread for talking about her personality, and concentrate on her news/pictures on this thread.

 

[Veram98]

Hey. Is that the same Peruvian President who has the illegitimate daughter (although no child is illigitimate)? if so than I believe his wife is American.

He is the same. His wife Eliane (an anthroplogist) is originally from Belgium and lived for a while in Israel (she is a Jew).

good idea! open a thread name it"Rania's admireres only" and I promise not to bother you with commenting in that thread.I'm sure her fans will feel a lot better if not seeing a any so called negative comment about Rania.

there's no need to be sarcastic

positive or negative, ppl are all entitled to have their own opinion. what i said was just out of curiosity. i read 3 posts about her yesterday, all of them are more than 10 pages long,full of arguments about her personality, and the posts are already cleared up by moderators. can't imagine how long they were before. the intention of these posts were to show the pictures, while the arguments seem to me a little bit irrelevant.

i'm not in Jordan or any country who give aids to Jordan, nor do i know very much about it, so i'm in no place to judge which side is right or wrong. i'm not interested in these stuff either.

i came here for pictures and discussions about the royals, not for arguments or debates.

if i don't like someone, i simply just ignore them. i'm just curious why some1 will spend so much time on sb they don't care at all. but everybody has the right to choose his own way of doing things. i don't meant to interfere

but when i said opening another thread, i don't meant to stop you from giving your comments. anyway if what i said gave you the impression i'm trying to do so, i apologize.

sorry for my poor English.

thanks for the beautiful pictures you've post, i really enjoy them.

 

[Monalisa]

after all this plastic surgeries she should kill her self if she is not in the list

i wonder what is her rank would be without all these surgeries

After an obvious nose job, we now the doctor who magnificies the "beauty" of queen rania is Christian chams, she indeed one of his client for botox, liftings and dermal enhacing !

He's the same behind the secret of last changes of Camilla parker !

El cóctel del doctor Chams que sustituye al “lifting”

Tiene clínica en París, pero gracias a una esteticista española los domingos pasa consulta en Madrid. Su fórmula milagrosa consiste única y exclusivamente en poner jeringuillas cargadas de vitaminas en el rostro. O eso dice. Ojeras, papada, flacidez... desaparecen con efectos inmediatos. La sesión cuesta 1.500 euros, pero no recibe más que a 20 pacientes en el día (¡30.000 euros en una jornada!). Isabel Preysler, las hermanas Koplowitz o Rania de Jordania son algunas clientas. Pero también hay hombres, incluso algún político de los que están en campaña. El doctor Chams además hace recuperar el pelo, adelgazar y devuelve las energías perdidas. “Me dijo: ‘Eres divina y te voy a dejar mejor que a una muñeca’”, confiesa una de sus pacientes. “Dudo mucho que sólo use vitaminas”, opina alguien del gremio.

 

[Monalisa]

beauty of rania and camilla??

The cocktail of doctor Chams who replaces "lifting" It has clinic in Paris, but thanks to a Spanish esteticista Sundays it passes consultation in Madrid. Its miraculous formula consists only and exclusively of putting loaded vitamin syringes in the face. Or that says. Ojeras, papada, flaccidity... disappear with immediate effects. The session costs 1,500 euros, but it does not receive more than to 20 patients in the day (30,000 euros in a day). Isabel Preysler, the sisters Koplowitz or Rania of Jordan are some clients. But also there are men, some politician of whom even is in campaign. Doctor Chams in addition makes recover the hair, become thin and gives back the lost energies. "he said to Me: ` You are divine and I am going to you to leave better than to one ", confesses one of its patients. "I doubt much that only uses vitamins", it thinks somebody of the union.


and camilla's :

[Monalisa]

I understund that all ladies quoted in that article are over than 50, and i don't blame them to use services of that famous doctor,but i don't understund why rania need his services,since she's a "beauty" ,and supposed being in the early 30's !!

 

[Humera]

For the last time, if you dont like Rania having plastic surgery then fine. Just stop complaining about it. She's free to do whatever she wants just like every one else.
If you're ticked off at the people who put her on the 'most beautiful women' list than write to them, complain to them. Just spare the rest of us.

 

[Reina]

Aaahh...but the complaints are quite fun (and so are the complements). I think it is good for ppl to say how they feel. A diversification of opinions makes forums and other stuff interesting.

 

[Humera]

ofcourse anyone can say whatever they want.
But listening to a broken record isnt much fun.
This discussion has been going on for weeks.

KA's press office was the one who confirmed it and thereby drew attention to it so I think it's a legit question as to what happened next. Just as I think it's a reasonable question to ask who is in charge when KA is out of the country. I thought it was always Feisal, then learned KA has decided to rotate the regency among some of his brothers. Certainly, for years, KH had no problem making it quite clear that, in his absence, CP Hassan was in charge. KH also was very upfront about the attempts on his life, regarding them "as part of the job." But, as far as I know, no one ever tried to take out his entire family in one fell swoop. It seemed such an extreme move on some group or individual's part, it would naturally draw attention to who or what decided to take such a heinous step. I'm not sure if it works well for KA to keep so many things a mystery. His father's more upfront, "these are the facts" approach made things clearer and easier to understand in my opinion and also swayed a lot of public opinion his way when he said he refused to live his life in fear. I respected his candor and clarity.

once again, I wouldnt expect KA to publicize incidents like that. For an absolute monarch who wishes to portray stability it would be highly unusual to admit to something like that. It would be an admission of vulnerability.
As for who would do something like that, there are plenty of terrorists out to kill anyone who is an ally of the US ie, Osama bin Laden and the Saudi royals.

I think that KA might now want to create any misunderstanding or create the wrong impression by picking one brother in particular as regent while he's out the country, especially now when there is no official crown prince. Which is why Princes Ali, Hamzah, and Feisal have played the role of regent in recent years. It was never really one brother who was appointed regent exclusively. I say that because I've noticed that Petra always posts the pictures of KA's various brothers taking oaths, and thats over the past few years. I even remember Prince Hamzah being appointed regent after he was stripped of his title.
I also think that we cant compare KA and KH in this respect. If an attempt is made on KA and his family's life, I dont expect the palace to hide it. But I dont expect them to overly publicize it either. KA has been king for only 6 years and he has a young family. So I dont blame him for being more cautious. His father, on the other hand, became king as a teenager. Towards the latter part of his reign he may very well have become more fearless and direct but that was due to his age, experience, and the fact that he had already been king for decades. By then he had already been a target of several assassination attempts and had survived. King Abdullah, on the other hand, isnt used to that sort of thing.

[Humera]

thank you for those pics nilah, she looks good indeed!
I've seen Noor in uniform, and I've seen Princess Aisha in uniform, all that was missing was Rania. Though I think only Princess Aisha has the military training.
Oh and Princess Iman too ofcourse.

Queen chairs meeting of welfare association

Phase II of Royal Medical Services Urology and Organ Transplant Centre opens

AMMAN (JT) — Her Majesty Queen Rania, on Wednesday, endorsed the plan of action of the Queen Rania Al Abdullah Association for Welfare of Military Personnel and Their Families.

During a meeting of the association's higher council, the Queen underlined the need to establish training and rehabilitation centres for active and retired military personnel to enable them to acquire skills allowing them to compete in the local and international labour markets. She also stressed the association's need to undertake various productive projects that will enhance its financial resources and services.

Queen Rania expressed her pride in members of the Armed Forces, noting that His Majesty King Abdullah's directives to offer every support to the military stemmed from their dedication to and sacrifices for the country.

The association seeks to support working and retired military personnel, their families and dependents by providing vocational training, counselling and guidance.

It will also allocate a monthly income for orphans and widows of deceased military personnel, as well as loans, social services and financial assistance to families of martyrs and deceased military officials, and aid in the organisation of fundraisers and income-generating projects.

The Queen called for a survey of active and retired military personnel and their families in order to lay down priorities, set up training centres and benefit from small businesses and income-generating projects.

Chaired by Queen Rania, the meeting included an overview of the association's mission and objectives, financial status and future plans and the appointment of an executive committee.

The association's higher council includes six military officers led by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff General Khalid Sarayreh, the assistant to the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff for Human Resources, as well as the directors of Army Officers' Affairs, Moral Guidance, Armed Forces Judiciary Affairs, and the assistant director of the Financial Department. Three civilians — Royal Court Secretary General Yousef Isawi, Huda Aqrabawi and Halimeh Hijazi — are also council members.

Also on Wednesday, the Queen opened the second phase of the Queen Rania Urology and Organ Transplant Centre at Al Hussein Medical Centre.

Accompanied by senior army officers, Queen Rania toured the facility and was briefed on the national registry of organ donation and transplant database which will be managed by the centre.

The Queen also dropped in on patients at the centre, which is a kidney surgery, urology and transplant specialised facility. The second phase of construction entailed adding 70 hospital beds as well as operating theatres and equipment.

In June last year, a Royal Decree was issued conferring upon Queen Rania the honorary rank of colonel in the Jordan Armed Forces.

In an official letter, the King underlined appreciation for Queen Rania's efforts in supporting the families of Jordanian military personnel and entrusted her to head the Higher Council of the newly-established Queen Rania Al Abdullah Association for Welfare of Military Personnel and Their Families.
