In Spain, Qatar’s Sheikha Jawahir appears in public without veil

This trip marks the first state visit to Spain for Qatari royals in over a decade. Former Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and his wife Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser visited Spain back in 2011.

Sheikh Hamad stepped down as Emir in 2013, passing the ranks to his son Sheikh Tamim.
