A friendly reminder that King Abdullah is the royal fandom personified. Haya is smiling because she knows she’ll get some brand new horses. Mo is smiling because he’s gonna get laid. Abdullah is smiling and wondering why the hell he let this creep marry his sister and wondering where the next bathroom is so he can go get rid of all the creepy feels.

“You would never guess that Monegasque princely family are actually royals: they are so tacky like those nouveau riche.” Submitted by Anonymous
The thing is though that I think it probably works better for them to be tacky. Hear me out here. Monaco makes most of its money from tourism and gambling, you guys do know that right? You also know that the Garibaldi own a majority stake in the one casino in Monaco right? Well if your going to attract tourists to a rather small and expensive island you get an outrageous head of state to make people interested. You get people who will act out and do stuff that will keep your country and its name in the papers. Strange but it works and as long as Albert keeps the extremely low taxes in place and money rolling in no one is going to care about how ‘trashy’ the grimialdis are. After all they worth more than the queen.
“I like how Prince William embraces his wife’s family and spends some time with them and not just his side of the family. It’s so rare to see any royal embracing their spouse’s family like he has been. I wish there were more royals doing this.”
King Abdullah II is also very good with his in-laws and the royal family spends a good amount of time with the Yassin family (Queen Ranias family). Especially the queens brother and her mother.
Today Her Royal Highness Princess Iman, the second youngest daughter of the late King Hussein of Jordan and Queen Dowager Noor married Zaid Azmi Mirza. Mirza is a long time friend of the Jordanian royal family is a friend of Prince Hamzah and Prince Hashim, Imans two brothers. Zaid is an accomplished martial artist and runs the martial arts association of Jordan and is a son of the former Jordanian ambassador to Brazil.
Is it just me or is Imans dress very similar to the ones woren by other Hashemite Princesses such as Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco to her nirzah ceremony and the wedding dress of her half sister Princess Haya. Imans is pure white while the others are a light purple and use silver designs instead of the gold on Imans. (Also yes the Moroccans are technically Hashemites they just use a different dynastic name.)
HIH Princess Shahnaz Pahlavi of Egypt and Iran, totally gorg. She is the daughter of Princess Fawzia of Egypt & Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran.
Fun fact she hate publicity and wanted to live a quiet life away from the spotlight. This desire was amplified when while attending a Iranian embassy Persian New year celebration for Iranian students studying abroad she and her then husband were loudly booed by the students due to their hatred of her father and his oppression of the Iranian people. They even went so far as to throw a gold plate right at her face. She also inherited the smallest amount of all his children from her father only 2% which is still huge but when compared to the Empress and her sons 20% each its easy to be angry.

14-03-2013, Madrid. The Infanta Elena attended the 5th youth social entrepreneur award of the European University of Madrid at The Hub.
May I say how beautiful Infanta Elena looks in these pictures! I never hear anything about her. She seems very quiet. Does anyone know why?
Pope Francis and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner
In the last few hours I’ve noticed a lot of comments about the new pope Francis the first stance on gay rights and some statements he made in 2007 concerning the adoption of a Argentine law dealing with gay adoption and later same sex marriage. What people fail to see is that in Argentina the battle for gay marriage is motivated by a VERY different set of forces than the battle here. There gay rights is used by their president as part of her anti religious measures and fortify her stance aganist the church and to garner more votes and recognition internationally as a progressive, kind, caring, leader in argentina with the countries best interests at heart. The truth is she is that she and her husband have embezzled funds from the state and used to purchase property and build hotels in Argentina. She is using issues like gay rights and economic reform, which hasn’t be solid at all, to hide the fact that she exercises tight control over the newspapers, has used election fraud, was an avid supporter of Hugo Chavez, hates America and most western countries, she believes the Falklands belong to Argentina instead of Great Britain even after a referendum and a war. This woman is crazy and is using the gays to advance her cause and to silence the church that would point out and show people just how crazy she is and how wrong her policies are. Would the church come up with the best policies? No, even I don’t support the churches views in this matter. I’m just letting you all the know the truth about the issues at play in those remarks. The gays should be rights but shouldn’t be soely so that a power mad, over spending, manipulative Bitch can win elections.
It’s official Albert really has mommie issues.
