Princess Ameerah/ Amira al-Taweel of Saudi Arabia

[Eugenie]

Are you talking about his first wife?! Who was the flight attendant??

The lady whose picture is posted.  I'm trying to show that she is not the same Princess Dalal who was/is Prince Al-Waleed's first wife.  I don't think there have ever been pictures posted of Al-waleed's Dalal.

Thanks for clarifying! I think you're quite right, at least I've never seen a photo of her.

[lynda]

She is 26.

 

I don't know anything about her, except that I love her wardrobe and hair 

After a short search in TRF she is supposedly in her late twenties and doesn't have children (her husband told her he didn't want more children before marrying), AND her husband married her older sister before 

 

TYou mean this man married BOTH sisters....................

[CountessMeOut]

Actually I think this is the wife of Prince Abdulaziz Al-Saud.  I don't think we'll ever see pictures of Al-Waleed's other wives.

I am not sure. Found this: http://encyclopedia.jrank...Walid-Bin-Talal-1955.html

quote from article: Name:

Al-Walid bin Talal bin Abd al-Aziz Al Sa’ud

Birth: 1955, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Family: Married and divorced Princess Dalal (married, 1976); children, Prince Khalid (21 April 1978), Princess Rim (20 June 1982); married and divorced Princess Iman Sudayri (married 1996); married Princess Khawlud (1999)


Only the first three wives are listed, not Ameerah. When did he marry her?? I was wrong about him only having had two wives obviously.

I am not 100% sure I am correct here, but it all seems to fit on him.

[/quote]

Because its an old article. He married her in 2006, following a divorce from his third wife

Her outfit here appears to be Victoria Beckham Fall/Winter 2010.

She is definitely one gorgeous woman. I see the Prince likes beautiful women. Bet she wont be the last. And if she is Saudi born, there is no way in hell she was ever a flight attendant. Well-to-do women from the gulf generally would not put themselves out in the public like that, away from home, subject to ruin their reputations! She is very lucky she gets to go out and wear her western clothes in public and be photographed, allowing all kinds of strange me to ogle her! Her beauty on the world's stage for all to see, yet she cannot drive a car in her hometown.

Beautiful woman.

Good cause to fight for but a difficult cause to win in this country.

[Rearden]

What cause? 

[Huda]

hi. i just wanted to make things straight around here 

im a woman and from Saudi Arabia.
and most of the things u guys discussed here aren't completely true ! 

AND her husband married her older sister before

yup thats true  .. but not at the same time though ! 
he didnt marry her in the right sense .. how can i explain it .. they just signed things and then call it off, nothing officially happened.. 
then after a couple of years he married Ameerah.. the women's father is a good friend to the Prince..

And he is 56 years old!  Dead

yup he's OLD ! but still looks so damn fine 

"No Im not worried that my husband has all this beautiful women around him, I KNOW THE CAUSE BEHIND IT, I actually encourage it!"  Dead

dont misunderstand her, she's talking about all that crap of liberty and how her husband is surrounded by women at work as kind of freedom ! 
i dont agree with her.. she's stupid 
and thats why he married her, coz she's dumb ! 
sorry if i sound rude and talking about a Saudi that way  specially that she's from my tribe as well i just dont want any of u to think that all Saudis are like her ..
we are much prettier and way much smarter .. 

From what I've heard there are other wives in the picture and he hasn't announced those marriages.

Nope, she's the only one for now ! 

Actually I think this is the wife of Prince Abdulaziz Al-Saud.  I don't think we'll ever see pictures of Al-Waleed's other wives.

we dont have a prince Abdulaziz  , except a young one , who's the son of our late King, Fahad, God bless his soul.

thats soooo not funny 
u dont get to judge !
and making fun of other people's religon, not cool 

But that´s an Afghan Burqa. The typical Saudi Burqa is this one

im really amazed that u guys know what we call our covers ! 
its pronounced: burga'a <-- with a long aaa at the end 

But both scary, especially the Afghan one.

dont get whats so scary about it ! 
its just a piece of clothes .. !

She is very lucky she gets to go out and wear her western clothes in public

whats so amzing about wearing clothes out in the streets ?!
we all do that ! 
its just we wear an Abayah over them if there were strange men, we dont want them to , how did u describe it ?
oh yes:

allowing all kinds of strange me to ogle her!

thats exactly why we (Muslim) women wera Abayah and Burga'a 

Good cause to fight for but a difficult cause to win in this country.

and if I personally tell u and on behalf of about 90% of Saudi women that we dont want to drive !!
who in the world who would say NO to a personal driver who drives u everywhere and at anytime !! 
we have those, they are our brothers and sons and husbands.. they're obliged to drive us around , and literally cant say no ! 

u cant believe how safe we are right now.. look all the harassments and problems driving women face everyday !   
i dont have to explain to u, but i dont want anyone to judge .. its our business.. so plzzzz keep it this way 

and for those loonatics who call themselves (Saudis) calling for a good cause... shut up ! 

[CD.]

I so want to answer Huda's post but I think I'll be banned.

Huda you do not represent the views of all muslim women.

I'll leave it at that.

Huda, I am not going to address your post, with which I mostly disagree. I just feel like sharing with you the fact that women drive better and a LOT safer than men. Where I live, women pay less insurance for their cars because they are less likely to wreck them.

Huda
Welcome 

I'm so happy to meet people from all over the world and with different views 

In general I think the womens liberation is all about equal rights for women and men.

As you can read in the discussion about par example Catherine being a housewife without a job - there is still room for debate about these topics and all topics about womens liberation. Some think she is lazy not to work some think she should be home and be the heart of the home or a cleaningwoman/cook 

My own point of view it that it is essential that women have an equal right to vote and to study and to work - perhaps you don't want to vote, study or work but you should have the choice.

But in Denmark the opportunity to vote came as late as the 1915. The first woman at an university in Denmark was in 1875. And this first woman didn't get a nice welcome by the male student nor her later collegues.

Womens acces to vote all over the world:
1776 Staten New Jersey, USA (trukket tilbage i 1807)
1838 Pitcairn Islands
1861 South Australia (only women with property and only local. Generel 1894)

1881 Isle of Man (only women with property until 1913, all in 1919)
1883 widows Canada
1893 New Zealand (dog ikke valgbarhed), Cook Islands
1894 South Australia giver valgret til alle kvinder, som den første stat i Australien, Storbritannien - gifte kvinder får ret til at stille op til lokalvalg
1899 Western Australia
1902 Det australske statsforbund (dog ikke-kønsspecifikke restriktioner ift race), New South Wales
1903 Tasmanien
1904 Queensland
1906 Finland
1908 Denmark (only local), Victoria
1913 Norge
1915 Denmark (generel), Island
1916 Canada (kun Alberta, Manitoba og Saskatchewan)
1918 Østrig, Canada på føderalt niveau - den sidste provins, hvor kvinder fik valgret var Quebec i 1940, Estonien (den republikanske side i borgerkrigen), Germany, Letland, Polen, Rusand, Storbritannien (også Irland - for kvinder over 30 og mænd over 21)
1919 Hviderusland, Belgien (kun byråd), Luxembourg, Nederlandene, Ukraine
1920 Tjekoslovakiet, USA

Ugh, excuses, excuses.  Who on earth would want to be driven around by their family members ALL the time?  Ever heard of privacy?  It's a good thing you know.  And why would you want them to know everywhere you went.  Get real please.  

[Chris]

It's one thing for a woman to choose not to drive.  It's a completely different thing for a government/religion to forbid all women to drive.

Salam and welcome, Huda!

Having been on Hajj I must say that I find women in Niqab scary. It is quite impossible for me to talk to someone whose face I cannot see and whose gestures I cannot see and therefore understand either. It is a local habit and I do not want to criticise it, but would like you to understand that for people so used to see other peoples face, the sight of a person completely covered comes across as very negative and alienating. Having also been to Dubai I found that after a short while one notices the details and the beauty of the different Abayas, and I liked them. I found the women there completely decent, even though they showed their faces and their drivers where not familiy members but female employees. For me a woman should be recognisable and her face visible, or I move on as fast as possible. Back on Dubai Airport the sight of all sorts of nude arms and legs and bellies and whathaveyou of all ages, shades of red and shapes did a little overwhelm me, I must admit. And certainly a woman covering her complexion in a climate like the one in Saudia will look much better in her fifties as any of the ever bronced ones. I've seen a grandmother in Dubai which looked like the young Elizabeth Taylor She did have a driver, and was the head of a big company. You're quite right, why drive if you don't have to, but would it not be nice to choose?
Anyway, this Saudi Princess is a beautiful woman, I've no idea how clever she is - but why on earth does she not want to have children?

[Charlotte]

Ameerah doesn't have kids because Al-Waleed refuses to have anymore.  This was agreed upon before marriage, and I read it was a reason why one of his marriages didn't work out.
