DUBAI- Breaking away from royal etiquette, Jordan's Queen Rania posted on Sunday pictures of her and her family on her Twitter page, where she talked about her children and called her husband a "cool" king.With 630, 957 followers, Queen Rania seemed to have attracted people with her simplicity, describing herself as "a mum and a wife with a really cool day job..." in her biography feature on Twitter.
On an apparent family vacation to Europe the queen tweets: " In Italy...gosh I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it!"
Known as an active philanthropist, the queen regularly uses her Twitter page to promote humanitarian issues and announce her upcoming plans.
In another tweet, the queen seemed to be looking for inspiration from her "idyllic surroundings" about ideas for "education for all."
Showing they are nothing more than a normal family, Queen Rania posted a picture of her and her husband of 16 years, King Abdullah II, on a motorbike, under which she wrote: "Ok, I am biased,but u gotta admit, my King is kinda cool, no?"
Another picture shows the king and queen with their teenage son, who the 38-year-old mother poked fun at and wrote: "Make the most of these moments now before ur kids decide ur too uncool to be seen with in public."
Born in Kuwait in 1970, Jordan's queen is one of the very few Arab first ladies who is accessible and has profiles on most of the popular social networking websites, including Facebook.
In 2008 she won an award for launching her own Internet channel on YouTube in a bid to encourage young people to help tackle stereotypes of Muslims and Arabs.
