Queen Rania looked elegant in black as she attended Pope Francis' funeral alongside her husband King Abdullah on Saturday.
The Queen of Jordan, 54, was seen wearing a black zip-up top with an oversized collar paired with a matching black skirt. She also wore a dark head covering and dark sunglasses with pieces of her brunette hair pulled out around her face.
Her husband was wearing a navy suit. Also in attendance was the Prince of Wales, who stood in for his father King Charles. Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco were also seen, as well as King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain and Queen Mary of Denmark.

Queen Rania's previous meeting with Pope Francis came earlier this year when she joined him, alongside Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani, at the opening of the first International Summit on Children's Rights at the Clementina Hall in Vatican City.

"Humanity has lost an invaluable champion for peace and compassion today. May he rest in peace."
