This
Is Definitely The Most Powerful Picture Of The Week
The
UAE is all about girl power…
In the same week that Donald Trump became President
of the US (to the despair of
women around the world), this powerful image was much needed.
Camilla, the Duchess
of Cornwall, was recently in the UAE as part of a Middle Eastern tour, where
her and Prince Charles spent three days visiting Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al
Ain.
The British royals
were here to promote religious tolerance and support women in
leadership, among other things – but nothing sums it up better than this
picture, released on Wednesday by Clarence House.
During her visit,
Camilla was accompanied by an all-female protection squad, the palace
revealed.

In the image, the
royal is flanked by four Emiratis, each donning the traditional hijab and abaya
as they guarded Camilla leaving the capital’s Emirates Palace Hotel.
The image, which
currently has more than 3,000 likes on Instagram, has attracted much praise,
with commenters expressing their appreciation of the enpowering act.
The women that made up
the bodyguard team were Shaima al Kaabi, Basima al Kaabi, Hannan al Hatawi
(behind the Duchess), Nisreen al Hamawi and Salama al Remeithi, who are all
aged between 29 and 30, according to the Daily Mail.
The British newspaper
reported that Camilla was “delighted by the decision to assign her a female
team while she is travelling in the Gulf”.
