Some little girls grow up dreaming of becoming princesses.
But the former Rania Al-Yassin now Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan wasn’t one of them.
It was her gig at Apple that unexpectedly spun Rania into the royal orbit.
Within two months of their first chance meeting, they were engaged, and they married soon after that.
The newly crowned King Abdullah II soon elevated his wife to queen.
This often involves meeting and working with other royals and sometimes meeting the same ones repeatedly over the years.
Upon marrying into Jordan’s royal family, Queen Rania threw herself into her new duties.
And among the many high-profile royals she’s gotten to know isQueen Consort Camilla.
Because of these longstanding ties, Queen Rania has gotten to know several members of Britain’s royal family.
Having been thrust unexpectedly into her royal role, she saw the lateQueen Elizabethas a role model.
“We can all just hope to be as active as she is at that age.”
“I think he’s a leading figure in the fight for our planet,” she said.
The couple returned again in 2021, this time to meetPresident Joe and Jill Bidenfor the first time.
But once thrust into the royal limelight, she seemed to take to it naturally.
Over time, fashion enthusiasts began to notice a few patterns in Queen Rania’s fashion strategy.
Besides her family, she toldOprah, her first responsibility is to her country.
Queen Rania has used her love of fashion as a way to share her culture with the world.
Marrying into a royal family definitely has its perks, and among them is access to plenty of cash.
The ring was a showstopper.
PerPricescope, a ring similar to Queen Rania’s engagement ring can be purchased for $13,475.
The ring would also prove to be a symbol of an enduring bond.
For her wedding dress, Rania Al-Yassin also paid homage to past royal traditions.
Their wedding day was declared a national holiday in Jordan, according toExpress.
“Eighty percent of my life is normal like any other mother.
I worry about my children, if they’re doing all right.
I worry that my husband is doing well,” she toldOprah.
Queen Rania seems determined to be a supportive mother-in-law.
“I didn’t think it was possible to hold so much joy in my heart!
“Excited to welcome my third daughter, Al Hussein’s bride-to-be, Rajwa, to the family!
We’re so happy for you both.”
Al Saif was spotted wearing the earrings at a celebration for Queen Rania’s 52ndbirthday.
