Queen Rania of Jordan is truly changing the world. Rania Al-Yassin was born in Kuwait. Shortly after Iraq invaded that country in 1990, her family fled[逃走] and settled in Jordan. After graduating from business school, Rania became successful in the business world. When she was just 22, she went to a dinner party that changed her life forever. It was there that she met Jordan’s Prince Abdullah. Six months later, Rania and Abdullah had a royal wedding and started a family. Rania never expected to be queen, however. In 1999, while on his deathbed, King Hussein of Jordan stunned[使惊吓] his country by announcing that his son Abdullah ? not his brother ? would succeed him as king. That made 29-year-old Rania the world’s youngest living queen. Rania says that being queen is not the trait[显著的特点] she defines herself by. “I am not at all conscious[有意识的] of it,” she says. “People call me Queen,’ but, you know, that’s not me… I’m Rania.” There are many perks[额外津贴、好处] to being queen, of course, but Rania stresses that there are also responsibilities[职责]. “One of the major misconceptions[误解] about this position is that people think that I might not be in touch with reality,” she says. “The honest truth is that my life is very much about dealing with issues[问题] on the ground[在事发现场], dealing with the problems that our country faces. Thats something I do on a daily basis.” When most people think of queens, they probably think of what they know from fairy tales. “For me, it?s just real life,” Rania says. “I am a mother. I care about my children. I worry about what they eat. I worry about the influences from their friends.”
