| Queen Rania |

"To every bad person there are many good people and that goodness will prevail in the end. When I meet people, I don't know if they are Jordanian or Palestinian. I never ask, and it's not something that crosses my mind. The makeup of the country is something that analysts look into, but with us, living day to day, it's not something we think about."
-Queen Rania
| Date of Birth: August 31, 1970 |

| The first thing that strikes you about Queen Rania is her remarkable humility. Unlike her peers, she approaches her position with a healthy mixture of dedication and perspective. "Many people are awestruck by the title of 'Queen'," she says, "but for me, it is a job that incorporates several roles. Primarily, my duty is to partner His Majesty in his efforts to improve the standard of living of all Jordanians...." |

| Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah is the queen consort of King Abdullah II, the King of Jordan. At the time of her coronation in 1999, she was the youngest -- and unquestionably the most beautiful -- queen in the world. |

Rania Al-Yasin was born in Kuwait on August 31, 1970. The daughter of Palestinian parents, she attended Kuwait's prestigious New English School, where she was given the opportunity to interact with children of all races and backgrounds.
"There was a very large expatriate community in Kuwait," she recalls. "My classroom had children from many different nationalities, so I grew up with people from Europe, the United States, Africa, the Far East. These interactions made me realize how alike we are, that what makes us similar is much more than what separates us."
Following the completion of her secondary education, Rania moved to Egypt, where she received a degree in business administration from The American University in Cairo in 1991. Upon her graduation, Rania made tracks once again. This time, she set her sights on Jordan, where she began a career at Citibank before taking a job in information technology at Apple Computers.
Rania's fate changed forever one night in 1993 when she met Abdullah Bin Al-Hussein, the son of Jordan's King Hussein, at a party. "I could never have imagined what fate had in store for me," she says. "At that time, as a recent graduate, I was living and working in Amman, and certainly never expected to marry a Prince of the Hashemite lineage or, one day, become the Queen of Jordan." |
