The humanitarian Queen gave an exclusive interview the magazine which she talked about her hopes, dreams and birthday plans.

When asked about her birthday plans, she replied by saying that she wasn't really big on birthdays, when asked why she continue with "Some people find this hard to believe, but my absolute least favourite thing is to be the centre of attention".

She further explained about the fact that during her growing and school years, the reason why she didn't have any parties was because her birthday was always during the summer when her friends and classmates were all on holidays. And now as she became a mother of 4, luck is on her side as she now love the fact that she is able to celebrate with the children on holidays. She quipped: "As I blow out my candles, firstly, I'll be baffled by the sheer number of them! I guess the cake has to grow bigger as I get older."

When asked about her birthday wishes, hopes and dreams, Her Majesty replied "But interestingly, with every passing year, the things I wish for get smaller and simpler. Time makes us want to 'uncomplicate' our lives. We gain a better understanding of what matters and they're the basic things – the relationships you cultivate with a few loved ones and the greater motivation to do better for others."

Over the years when asked in interviews on how she and His Majesty brought up and educated their 4 children  TRH Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Iman, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem aged between 14 and 25, Her Majesty always said that they both made sure their children were brought up to view the world with empathy, kindness, compassion and taught them the significance, responsibility and duties which comes with being a royal.

 In this week's interview, Her Majesty reiterated it by saying "As parents, we tend to fixate on our children's own needs, but I often remind my children to balance their needs with the needs of other people. I encourage them to be empathetic, kind and compassionate – qualities that are usually taught at home and at a very early age. Most importantly, I always reiterate that they must carry their titles and not the other way around. It's a responsibility, not a privilege."
