Rania IS Palestinian. This is personal to her. I appreciate her using her status as Queen to loudly call out the West.

“I like Kate a lot & always defended her, but I’m just so disappointed with her buying expensive stuffs that are almost identical. It’s just super wasteful in this economy & environmental crisis, esp. with W’s Earthshot thing. Like her three basically same Alessandra Rich (in two colours) & a new Jennifer Chamandi pair of pumps. Enough is enough. I get it, rich people buy a lot but buying multiple clothes/shoes in very similar styles? I’m not so ridiculous to expect her to only ever wear repeats in public but she’s still a public figure after all, I wish she could be more mindful.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Keying/graffiti-ing someones car is old news now if someone cheats we go at their wardrobe with a seam ripper

yknow what? Fuck you *unstitches all your shirts and jeans*

My mother did this to my father once. They got into an argument, my very pregnant and hormonal mother stormed off…except they lived in a tiny apartment so the only place to go was to shut herself into the closet for a good long sulk. And while she was sitting in there, fuming, she looked up and saw her sewing kit on the shelf, and all my father’s uniforms hanging right there.

So she picked one shirt and one pair of trousers, carefully, methodically ripped every third stitch out of every seam, and then hung them back up together so that he would be likely to pick them at the same time. This took her a couple hours, so by the time she was done, the anger had worn down. She came out, she and my father had a talk that ended in apologies, after which they were tired and went to bed. My mother swears up and down that she meant to warn my father about the sabotaged clothes in the morning, but he wore a different uniform set and they were both still feeling a little raw, so she didn’t want to bring up the fight again. She decided to tell him that night instead.

And then she forgot.

Anyway, about four days later, my father apparently came home roughly an hour after he left for work, his clothes slowly, gently shredding off his body, the most bewildered expression on his face. “Paula,” he said, his voice mildly shell-shocked. “Paula, my clothes are broken.”

My mother promptly burst out laughing so hard that she went into labor. And that’s the story of my birth, heralded by petty vengeance and utter confusion.

In November 2019, Máxima visited Pakistan during a UN trip. Also on the program was a visit to a tailor in Lahore and yes: that turns out to be Mahpara Khan. During a conversation about entrepreneurship and inclusive financing, Máxima was handed a brown box containing the dress that appeared last Thursday during the royal wedding in Jordan.

I wonder if Princess Beatrice originally intended to wear the Celia dress to the RECEPTION? Is it possible that Beatrice's dress, a Reem Acra that she wore to the reception was meant for the WEDDING CEREMONY? Maybe she found out somebody was wearing the Reem Acra dress to the wedding and she decided to switch last minute? What do you think?

Either dress would work perfectly fine at the other event, maybe the sparkly gown would work better at the reception and the soft blush gown would work better at the wedding?

is it possible she got word that somebody else was wearing the these dresses at the Wedding ceremony?

(Cecil gown: described on the Harrod's website as "a sparkling dress fit for the most special of occasions", Cecilia gown is known as a "stand out piece" from Needle and Thread's new collection.

Reem Acra Dress: Princess Beatrice's tiara complemented her pink gown with flared sleeves and gold embellishments by Reem Acra for the wedding banquet. Featuring a ruffled tulle collar and intricate sequins.... And while the dress usually retails for £675, it is currently on sale for just £450.)

I don't know if Beatrice knew that another guest was wearing the same dress, but i think Reem Acra gown was more appropriate for the evening banquet and wearing a tiara. The blue dress, more romantic style, was perfect for the wedding ceremony.

The blue dress is too busy for lavish accessories in my opinion, it definitely would have overshadowed/clashed with the tiara, whereas the pink dress is really subdued in every way. The embroidery is softer, the color is gentle, and it blends really well with her hair without washing her out. All of that combined means the tiara was the star of the show for her evening look. I think Bea chose these dresses strategically--the blue is a knockout on it’s own while the pink needed a little oomph while still being able to step back and let the tiara shine.

I think it's new tiara! It doesn't look like one of Queen Rania's from here.

Or maybe the Arabic Script Tiara? It doesn't look tall enough but the sides are swirly. I wish they would zoom in!

It's not the Arabic Script - DEFINITALY A NEW TIARA!!

I’m terrible at taking screenshots so I hope we get pictures soon but I think Crown Princess Rajwa’s new tiara has Arabic calligraphy at the sides like Princess Iman’s.

Any guesses as to what the calligraphy says?

The best I can guess (and I totally might be wrong) is the first half is her name first name, Rajwa, but after that I get lost in the calligraphy. 

رجوة من الله Pleading to Allah or hope from Allah It’s her name in Arabic But the calligraphy design is a bit poorly designed
Hi it say رجوة من الله Means pleading from Allah It’s Rajwa’s in Arabic means a plea or hope. The same idea as princess eman, but the arabic calligraphy design here isn’t very good

Thanks! So I guess both of the new Jordanian tiaras this year included the brides name in the design.

Yeah this is as good as I’m getting too but I agree that the calligraphy isn’t the best. Her name is really clear but the rest of it isn’t. The letters really don’t work in the way that they should. I keep trying to make the letters make sense in my head lol

The calligraph is definitely bad. I wonder if the other side says the same or something else. I can’t find a single good picture of the other side though.

This is the best I've found of the other side.

This side is just as bad but considering I can’t see anything else clearly but her name again and it looks similar, I’m going to assume this side says the same thing. I’m in the same boat as @lovingtheroyals​ none of the letters make sense. Every time I look at it, I see Rajwa mr rln/lln, which doesn’t make a lick of sense.
