Jalila and her little brother Abdulla bin Ali are a princess and prince of the realm, even if they're not the direct descendants of the acting king. The pair have had few appearances as members of the royal family, until now, when Jalila has begun attending various public events.
A star in academics, sports, and the social sphere
