Queen Rania of Jordan talks about family ties, empowering women and championing the young

Queen Rania is one of the most respected and adored women in the world, combining an innate style and elegance with a deep-rooted passion and dedication to improving the lives of others.

And in celebration of another remarkable year for Queen Rania of Jordan, the Raghadan Palace last week chose the mother of four's 46th birthday to release a series of photographs that show her at just some of the many important functions she has attended over the past 12 months.
