This here story, it’s about that Qatari princess. You know, them folks over in Qatar, they got kings and queens and princesses, just like in them storybooks. But this ain’t no fairy tale, this is real life. These Qatari people, they’re swimming in oil money, richer than a hog in slop, I tell ya.
Now, this princess, she ain’t like them princesses you see on the TV. She’s a real person, living in a big fancy palace, I reckon. She was born a long time ago, back in 1959, on August 8th. That’s what them fancy folks call her birthday. Her daddy, he was some big shot named Nasser bin Abdullah Al-Missned. Sounds important, don’t it? A real mouthful, that name is.
They say this Qatari princess, she’s from the Al Thani family. That’s like being a Johnson or a Smith over there, I guess, a real common name for royalty. They’re the ones who run the whole shebang in Qatar. Powerful folks, them Al Thanis. They’ve been running things for a long, long time. The old man, Khalifa ibn Hamad Al Thani, became the big cheese after Qatar got free from them British folks.
This princess, she’s part of that whole mess. She’s probably got more jewels than a pirate’s treasure chest. Them other queens, like Silvia and that Camilla woman, they wear them shiny crowns, too. But this Qatari princess, she’s got her own style, I bet. Probably wears enough gold to sink a ship. They have a lot of children too, one of them has 13! Imagine feeding all them mouths.
Qatar, it’s a little bitty place, smaller than a pigpen, but it’s full of surprises. They say it’s like a whole different world over there. Hotter than a furnace in July, I imagine. And them women, them Qatari women, they ain’t just sitting around fanning themselves. They’re tough cookies, tougher than week-old biscuits.
Before they found all that oil, those Qatari women, they worked like mules. They had to, to help their families get by. Now, they’re doing all sorts of things. One of them even wants to climb mountains and go to them Poles, North and South. She wants to be the first woman from the Middle East to do it. That’s a big dream for a little lady from a little country.
And get this, the sister of the big boss over there, the ruler of Qatar, she’s in charge of all the museums. They call her the chair, like she’s a piece of furniture or something. She’s probably got more paintings and old pots than she knows what to do with. That’s what happens when you’re a Qatari princess, I suppose.
This whole thing, it just goes to show you, money can’t buy happiness, but it sure can buy a whole lot of other stuff. This Qatari princess probably never had to worry about where her next meal was coming from, or if the roof was gonna leak. She is living a life most folks can only dream of. She probably got a whole closet full of shoes, more shoes than a centipede’s got feet.
- Born in a rich family.
- That family is Al Thani.
- They are big shots in Qatar.
- They have a lot of money.
- Qatari women are very strong.
But you know what? I bet she’s got her own troubles. Being a princess, it ain’t all sunshine and roses. Everybody’s watching you, judging you. You gotta act a certain way, dress a certain way, talk a certain way. And there is someone escape from there! To UK! That’s wild. It’s a heavy crown to wear, even if it is made of gold and diamonds.
Still, it’s a fascinating life, ain’t it? This Qatari princess, she’s a long way from here, living in a world we can barely imagine. But she’s still a woman, with hopes and dreams, just like the rest of us. Maybe she even wishes she could just be a regular gal sometimes, walking around in blue jeans and a t-shirt, eating a hot dog at the county fair. Who knows? One thing’s for sure, though, her life is one heck of a story. And that is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
This King Charles, whoever he is, he said some things about them. It must be important, that Qatari princess. They all live in big house. Bigger than my whole farm. They are really really rich, them Qatari princess. Richer than anyone I ever know. They can buy anything, anytime. Maybe I should go to Qatar, find me a princess.
