She is intelligent, beautiful, gorgeous, and glamorous –she is Queen Rania of Jordan. One of the most intriguing women—a working mother and queen, she is a modern monarch who speaks up for the rights of women. Meet the Queen of Jordan on Oprah Winfrey Show on April 8, Friday at 9.00 pm on BIG CBS LOVE.
At 28 she became the world’s youngest queen. This modern monarch, when not attending to her family and kids has a mission to educate young girls around the world. While she talks to Oprah she is her usual self, poised, spontaneous, and casually chic with a warm smile. She talks about being a queen and mother, on important issues like women’s rights that is close to her heart, the Palestinian—Israeli crisis, Jordanian society, the challenges faced by women in Jordan and more.
On being a mother: Queen Rania says she doesn't think of herself as royalty at heart. "Eighty per cent 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 says. "The 20 per cent is just the queen aspect that factors in. But for me, it's life as usual and it's just taking care of my family."
On the women of Jordan: The Queen said; “In Jordan, women lead a very free life. We find the level of education for men and women in Jordan are equal. We have women who participate in the business sector, in government, in the armed forces, in the police force, women judges. They're very much free to choose what kind of life they want to lead. The lives that they lead here are very similar to those that you see in other countries in the world.
On the challenges they face: I think that the challenges that women face in Jordan are very similar to those that you see in other countries in the world, particularly developing countries. The obstacles that they face are more social or cultural
