Mum-of-four Queen Rania - who's currently on her first tour of Latin America with husband King Abdullah of Jordan - was in her element as she met some young Chileans who'd lined up to greet the couple in Santiago.
As the Jordanian royals arrived at the presidential palace, where they were scheduled to meet with Chilean leader Michelle Bachelet, they received a warm reception from awaiting children - all of whom were eager to shake hands with the royal visitors.
While her husband applied himself to official business, Rania - long a champion of the rights of children and in particular the importance of schooling – paid a visit to some local schools to sit in on some lessons and meet with some of the young pupils.
Following their two-day visit to Chile the royal couple headed for Argentina, the next port of call on a tour that will also take them to Brazil and Cuba.
