Queen Rania of Jordan attended a lunch hosted by Grace Nelson, wife of Nasa administrator, and former Senator Bill Nelson, in Washington on Tuesday.

The Jordanian royal is in the US capital with her husband King Abdullah II, who has become the first Arab leader to visit US President Joe Biden. Their son, Crown Prince Hussein, heir to the throne, joined them.

The queen shared photos of the lunch, which was taken with "a wonderful group of inspirational women", on social media.

Queen Rania is seen wearing a pleated midi skirt in a bold shade of hot pink, paired with a rouched white blouse with a high neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves. She accessorised her outfit with understated nude heels and statement earrings.

On Monday, Queen Rania stepped out in Washington wearing a striking deep-red dress, from the ready-to-wear collection of Lebanese designer Hussein Bazaza, to the White House. The outfit featured draping and a tie neck, accessorised with a wide belt, bronze heels and a diamond brooch.

"It was lovely joining US First Lady Dr Jill Biden at the White House today. Her enthusiasm, warmth, and compassion are a pleasure to behold," she posted on Instagram.

During the meeting, Queen Rania and Biden discussed various issues of common interest, Queen Rania's office said.

On July 7, the White House released a statement on the Jordanian royals' visit, which said it will "highlight the enduring and strategic partnership between the US and Jordan, a key security partner and ally of the US. It will be an opportunity to discuss the many challenges facing the Middle East and showcase Jordan's leadership role in promoting peace and stability in the region."

This is not the royal's first visit to meet a US president or first lady. In June 2018, the Jordanian royals visited former president Donald Trump and the first lady Melania Trump at the White House. During the visit, Queen Rania took tea with the former first lady. The queen chose a pale pink top and matching wide-legged trousers by Adeam, the Japanese-American womenswear label.

At other engagements, she has been known to champion regional designers and was once even a style muse of Giorgio Armani.

What is hepatitis?

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, which can lead to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer.

There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E.

Hepatitis C is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This can occur through blood transfusions, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injecting drugs. Sexual transmission is also possible, but is much less common.

People infected with hepatitis C experience few or no symptoms, meaning they can live with the virus for years without being diagnosed. This delay in treatment can increase the risk of significant liver damage.

There are an estimated 170 million carriers of Hepatitis C around the world.

The virus causes approximately 399,000 fatalities each year worldwide, according to WHO.

Muslim Council of Elders condemns terrorism on religious sites

The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the criminal attacks on religious sites in Britain.

It firmly rejected “acts of terrorism, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sanctity of houses of worship”.

“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.

The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.

Who was Alfred Nobel?

The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.

  • In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
  • Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
  • Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
