Jordan's Queen Rania has revealed the secret to her successful marriage - "teamwork".
The glamorous royal says her relationship with King Abdullah II - who she has been married to for 13 years - works because they are a partnership.
Asked why her marriage was so successful, she told India's Delhi Times: "Teamwork! While my husband obviously has more of a political and economic role, I complement him by working with civil society organisations.
"He is interested in my work and I am interested in his; we have to be because everything we do is so inter-related. We are each other's biggest fans and toughest critics."
Rania, 36 - who recently accompanied her husband on a three-day state visit to India - also confessed she finds it difficult being a queen.
She said: "It's not easy being a queen. But then, I get so many opportunities everyday. It's very humbling and very rewarding at the same time.
"Being a public figure presents both challenges and opportunities to effect positive change. And I want to make a difference to the world. As far as my public life goes, it entails some ceremonial obligations. I talk to people and find out what they need and want."
