Queen Rania Al Abdullah honors Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Queen Rania Al Abdullah shared a photo on social media honoring the South African Archbishop, Desmond Tutu. “The world has lost a shining beacon of moral clarity and courage with the passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. From his homeland of South Africa, to Palestine, to Iraq, he never failed to call out injustices around the world and urge humanity to do better, and be better. He was also incredibly warm, with a gentle demeanor and kindhearted sense of humor. I count myself among those incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to work alongside him. He will be sorely missed”
