The queen of England respected and powfull .?

Question

Why do we never ever hear or see the queen ( Queens) of Saudi Arabia. When the king dies why has there never been a queen of Saudi Arabia .???????

Answer 1

It's because in Saudi Arabia women are so oppressed that they can't even drive a car or be seen in public without a full veil. They live in a repressive feudal society and we don't. However we have to keep dealing with them because they live on top of the world's largest reserves of oil, which allows them to do what ever they want. Simple really.

Answer 2

I think the royal family of Saudi Arabia is more male dominated.  It could have something to do with their culture just like the Imperial family of Japan, only males are allowed to inherit the throne, the females born into the Imperial family don't stand a chance of being Empress, whiles a woman who marries the Crown prince has a chance of being Empress or the Emperor's consort.

Answer 3

Exactly how many wives does the king of Saudi Arabia have? Which one should be queen? They're all chattel.

Answer 4

Queen is respected in England.

Answer 5

It's simple...the succession laws in Britain allow a first-born daughter of the current monarch (George VI, Elizabeth II's father) to succeed to the throne, in the absence of a male heir in the direct succession...and George had two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose. Margaret did produce a son...Elizabeth's own daughter, Anne, saw herself go DOWN the order of succession. But the British succession laws only came in as they are since the German George I succeeded to the throne...as a Protestant. There were 52 other candidates ahead of him, many Catholic and female, but George stopped any possible return of the Stuart dynasty. It was religious AND political. It was posible for his great-great granddaughter Victoria to succeed to the throne in 1837, because she was Protestant.

The Saudi society is fundmentalist Islamic, of the Wahabi sect, and the society strictly patriarchal. Women do not have the same rights as men...and there is no right for succession of a female to the Saudi throne. And the queens? They are Queen Consorts, married to the King, and not Queen (monarch) in their own right.

The Queen of Great Britain is rich, is well respected...but she is not an absolute monarch (and weilds no real political power, she does not govern, she is a breeding trophy Head of State). The kings of Saudi Arabia are absolute monarchs in the autocratic mould: two very different systems, but both there because of religion and politics, nevertheless.

The irony is: it was British influence during the post-World War I carve-up of the Ottoman Empire that saw the creation of Saudi Arabia and the dynasty still firmly in power almost a century later!

Answer 6

basically the queen is by herself  she's a kinqueen(my own word).When prince william or prince harry get married they'll b king and have their queen. queen Elizabeth is truly respected and loved, but i don't know about the queens of Saudi Arabia.Google,Ask, or wikipedia it.Truly i don't think their is one, one to rule a rich country like Saudi Arabia.

Answer 7

They are separated men and women. Women do not count . Look in the latest scandal that evolves a young female lady who was sentenced by Saudi Arabia's court to 200 lashes and jail cause she was with strange men in a car and was raped.... What a joke the Islamic religion has become.

Answer 8

The Queen of England represents one of the longest monarchies in the world and as England hasn't shifted boundaries in over a thousand years, that means that the Kings and Queens of England have ruled an uninvaded land with no border changes for as long. I suppose that rightly or wrongly, that makes her the best known of all monarchs in the world.

But apart from the power that respect brings, she has no real power or authority and is only seen as a figure head.

Answer 9

Nope! although i rekon she could do better than browne anyday!

Answer 10

Because Saudi Arabia is still stuck in the Middle Ages. Women are second-class citizens. Women are still not allowed out of the house without a male escort. Some Human Rights groups have described Saudi Arabia's treatment of women as "Gender apartheid".

A female ruler would not be accepted by most men in Saudi Arabia.

Answer 11

They are patriarchal societies and women have few rights there.

Answer 12

go to Saudi Arabia watch their TV and see if the say anything about are Queen, God bless her

Answer 13

I don't think the queen is respected at all. People in the UK say mean things about her and most don't even care about the royal family and she isn't all that powerful because she is a constitutional monarch.  She doesn't make any political decisions.
