I'm sorry, but the interviewer is incredibly ignorant and patronising here.

She is a very very intelligent woman, you don't need to talk to her like a stupid child just because she's not from the US.

Also, very rude how after her extremely intelligent and well-spoken remarks about tolerance and moderates vs. extremists he just said "moving on to another topic".

Rania deserves far better.

As always, Your Majesty's presence decorates ...  !!!

@christophcooneyoff I agree with a lot of that but she did actually avoid the question about whether she had a "different sense" regarding the new peace talks. She instead said WHY there needed to be a resolution.

so smart Woman!

@LylesgoldMusic Calm your horses, inconsequential parts (like his response) have clearly been clipped of this video. Also, interviewees always know what questions they're going to be asked long before the actual interview so relax haha ! But yes she is clearly passionate and smart, a business graduate, so what else can you expect !

The really fantastic thing about Queen Rania is that she IS a political figure, but she is so different from other politicians. The breed I am used too: avoid questions; mock other people and focus on their own power. Her majesty is direct, concise and intelligent and she doesn't gain anything from what she's doing. She is a shining example of how our politicians should be acting. I'm half Jordanian and this woman makes me extremely proud of that.

thats a weird looking kitchen she is in.

@LylesgoldMusic I apologize for that. Many of us in the US know that he is a total tool for a small but vocal minority of the media.

@superlulud Yes she's advocating Palestinian rights, where have you been? She has a charity called "Bayti Filisteen" raising funds for Palestinian education. Shes also had countless interviews (CNN included) defending the Palestinian cause.

@SuGaRuSh14 What would be the comment of Queen Rania regarding London riots today...

[MrBoon008]

@ClochesJerusalem I agree with your comment !!! Its wrong to categorize or classify one group of people for the actions of a few !!! There are still a lot of Monarchs in this world that have done a very good job for their people even when the democratic form of governments have repeatedly failed them !!! And as for HM Queen Rania and HM King Abdullah, I don't think they have done anything wrong considering the situation in the Middle East !!!
