Back to work for Lalla Salma as she greets Jordanian friend Queen Rania
As two of the Middle East's highest profile and most glamorous humanitarian campaigners, Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco and Queen Rania would certainly have had plenty to talk about as they met up in Fez on Thursday. The Jordanian queen is in Morocco on a three-day official visit.Flame-haired Lalla Salma, 29, who wed King Mohammed in 2002, has been out of the spotlight since the birth of her second child, Princess Lalla Khadija, in February this year. 
The porcelain-skinned beauty certainly seemed to be relishing her return to official duties, though, smiling and chatting animatedly with her Jordanian counterpart after greeting her with a warm hug. The stylish pair, both highly educated and successful professionals before marrying their royal spouses, visited two Unicef-supported projects which highlight the country's efforts in combating child labour and promoting education for all. "In many ways, education is a 'social vaccine' for girls," explained the Jordanian queen. "It immunises against untimely death, poverty and unemployment and helps them build healthy, hopeful futures."Rania has long been a figure-head for women's rights in the Arab world, championing greater equality. 
And Lalla Salma is paving the way for women's advancement herself, being the first female member of the Moroccan royal family to have been publicly acknowledged and given a royal title. She also fills a high-profile role as head of a cancer charity.

Clubbing Kate shows off an edgy new look
The prim and proper Kate Middleton who stepped out with Prince William seems worlds away from the sassy young lady who's emerged since the end of the relationship. And there was further evidence of the edgier style she's making her own these days, as she enjoyed a night out in West London this week.The pretty fashion assistant showed off her svelte figure in a pair of pale skinny jeans. And a sign she is enjoying her fashion freedom was her eye-catching red top - not least because it revealed a glimpse of black underwear, an approach she is unlikely to have ventured as Wills' girlfriend. Kate and her pals partied the night away at London clubs Mahinki and Boujis with the pretty brunette's 22-year-old sister Pippa, who friends say has a lot to do with the emergence of the new more confident, stylish Kate. And the girls are fast becoming a formidable double act on the London social scene, with Pippa accompanying her sister to a string of high-profile engagements. They have both been invited to Richard Branson's pre-Wimbledon party and are on the guest list for Royal Ascot. Pippa, who has just finished her studies at Edinburgh University, has moved into Kate's Chelsea flat for a summer of girlie fun. The pair apparently have a beautician who comes round every week to do their spray tans and have been enjoying shopping trips together on the King's Road. "Pippa's glad to 'get her sister back'," one chum told a British newspaper. "The two are very close, and she never got to spend much time with Kate when she dated William."
Kate Middleton has moved on
It seems that Prince William’s ex-girlfriend Kate Middleton has moved on after parting ways with the British royal.
Middleton was recently spotted flirting and dancing with a mystery man at a London hotspot.
The 25-year-old fashion buyer was all blushed up as she hopped into a cab with the anonymous guy and headed to another nightclub.
According to sources, Kate’s new squeeze is believed to be a friend of Jamie Murray-Wells, who is a close pal of Prince William.
“Kate’s still very much in William’s circle. Jamie brought this guy along and they seemed to hit it off,” The Sun quoted a source, as saying.
“Kate was flirting a lot and she would know anything she did would get straight back to William through Jamie. Maybe she’s trying to make him a bit jealous,” the source added.
This is the first time that Kate has been seen with anyone except girlfriends since her split from William in April this year.
