From refugees to queens


The dressing style of the royal family has always been the most concerned by the world, such as the two beloved British Princess Kate and Meghan, not only the style is imitated by fans around the world, as long as they wear the same style will soon be sold out, there are even special social accounts and websites to analyze their daily wear.

However, different people's attention to the dressing of the royal family is also different, most people are holding the perspective of learning to appreciate, but some people will think that too much attention to the wearing of the royal family is too "wasteful", such as Meghan has been accused by some British media because of the cost of clothes some time ago.

Meghan is also facing the same problem as Queen Rania of Jordan.

For years, Jordanians have complained about her extravagant spending (Jordan is a poor country) and her fondness for designer brands in particular.

Her most iconic look is the shirtdress, which combines elegance and chic.

As well as criticism of the money she spent on clothes, there was criticism of her lavish 40th birthday party in Wadi Rum in 2010.

Last month, Queen Rania's office issued a rare first official response to media reports about the cost of her outfits.

Queen Rania's office pointed out that the critical articles shared only the retail price of the clothes, which is a distortion of the truth, because most of the Queen's wardrobe is borrowed, given away or bought at discounted prices.

The office also noted that the Queen does not decide her style of dress for any brand promotion, except to highlight Jordanian designers.

In fact, take a closer look at the Queen's dress and you will find that the Queen is not only wearing designer brands, 300 pieces of ZARA dress can also be seen in her wardrobe.

It is unusual for a royal family to respond forcefully to negative media coverage, to speak up, to be neither humble nor pushy, and Rania has always been an unusual queen.

Rania was born in 1970 to Palestinian parents in Kuwait, where she fled as refugees after the creation of Israel in 1948.

Since she was a child, Rania attended international schools in Kuwait, so she has always been good at English, and after high school, Rania was admitted to the American University in Cairo, where she earned a bachelor's degree in business administration.

However, Rania's life has not always been so smooth. In 1991, due to the outbreak of the Gulf War, Rania's family was forced to flee Kuwait to Amman, Jordan.

Rania, who had been an immigrant in Kuwait, became a refugee again when she arrived in Amman. Fortunately, she has a good educational background and excellent personal ability. After arriving in Amman, she successfully obtained the opportunity to work in the marketing field of Citibank through her own efforts, and then successfully jumped to Apple.

By chance, Rania was invited by a friend to a party given by the king's sister, where she met the current king, then Prince Abdullah bin Al-Hussein.

According to the Queen, the couple "fell in love at first sight" at the party and announced their engagement just six months after they met.

Rania, 23, and Prince Abdullah, 31, were married in a grand ceremony in June 1993.

And the prince she married, though not tall and handsome.

But the Jordanian royal family is very important to cultivate the academic ability and military skills of the offspring, as the king's eldest son was sent to the British boarding school at the age of four, and later entered the Royal military Academy Sandhurst, many royal figures are studying here, such as Britain's Prince Harry.
