I always thought that Rania needs to stop trying to be prominent in her own right. She should be wiht her children, traveling with her husband when he requires it, and mainly being a gracious hostess. The POINT of being a royal wife is to be a gracious hostess and Consort, not jet setting around while your husband goes to state visits. Or meeting with psycho models (Campbell) and posing on a motorcycle. These criticisms in the context of her role are entirely legitimate and she has no business squandering money on plastic surgery nad high fashion.

As for Noor, Noor was stupid to set teh precedent for a a high profile role in a country that takes the role of women as mothers/wives very seriously. Rania is the CONSORT, not the monarch. She has no business getting involved in politics and she’s too interested in the jet set when she should (and this is something I crticize about maxima) be concentrating on her own country. It’s not politically correct, but that’s not the point of royalty.

When the economy crashed, Rania should have cut back traveling and then proceeded to stay within Jordan and start living more austerely. Tribal leaders are strict, some irrational, but in others, logical. They don’t like scandal and they don’t like the West’s values and they are likely the type to get apoplectic when they see the woman who represents their women overseas jet setting. It’s not politically correct, but it’s who they are.

Tell me whose who between Queen Rania and Queen Noor, is it?
I thought Noor was the queen to Abdullah.

Your remarks are correct. Perception is indeed everything for those who are on perpetual display. Moreover, the tribal leaders really brought up an explosive topic when they demanded the return of property taken by the crown to bestow upon the Queen and her family. This is the classic ominous rumble about breaking the informal but vital bonds of trust between the monarch and his feudal retainers. In England it was when the gentry started murmuring ‘that's not fair dealing’, that the monarch knew there was real trouble brewing.
