We hear regularly of how the Duchess of Cambridge, Queen Letizia of Spain, and other key European royals may or may not have changed the face of regal fashion in the last few decades, but there is another ???Queen of style??? who perhaps deserves more airtime for her sartorial efforts; Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, who turned 47 yesterday.

Since marrying Prince Abdullah in 1993, Rania has embraced her nation???s dress codes and traditions like the best of them, but she has put her own fashion-forward spin on things too.

Rania had mastered the art of public dressing long before our beloved Kate was even on the scene - championing the same royal dressing formula nude courts, form-fitting dresses and smart dress coats that the Duchess turns to for daytime occasions since the early 00s.

Her favourite labels include major European houses (Valentino, Dior, Armani) as well as cool, unconventional choices for a royal (Victoria Beckham) and, diplomatically, plenty of Middle Eastern names, too.

Perhaps what is most refreshing of all about this royal, however, is that you can follow her every fashion move on Instagram.While Kate, Letizia and others choose to only share certain elements of their life on very public occasions, @QueenRania updates her 3.6million followers on a weekly basis, sharing new pictures and ???throwbacks??? of her four children, Crown Prince Hussein, 23, Princess Iman, 20, Princess Salma, 16 and Prince Hashem, 12, as well as highlighting her work on key projects to improve Jordan???s education and healthcare offerings.Peppered in, naturally, are hundreds of glorious outfit photos, each attracting up to 150,000 ???likes??? on average from her adoring online community of fans.

It???s a strategy akin to the one employed by another 47 year-old, the American First Lady Melania Trump and, as an image-building tool, it???s a savvy way for Rania to connect with her people and offer an insight into her life and style.In fact, when the two met back in April they each posted a picture of themselves together, clocking up over 500,000 likes.

In having a voice and showcasing her style as she does, Rania has arguably crafted herroyal fashion icon status entirely.With a bigger audience and greater influence than many of the most prolific fashion bloggers and reporters out there, it???s no wonder that the designers are falling over themselves to dress her.
