The 2022 World Cup kicks off, and the host country Qatar has also become a hot topic of discussion. Among them, various figures in the Qatari royal family are the focus. Among them, the 63-year-old Queen Mother of Qatar is definitely a legend. She is beautiful and extremely wise. She has an investment vision that ordinary people do not have. But when it comes to her legendary life, the outside world is even more stunned.
When Qatar lost, a Qatari prince wearing a white robe in the audience was on the hot search. This shocked expression was simply the real-life version of Qatar’s World Cup mascot, and the little prince later posted a video Thank you fans for your attention, but when it comes to Qatar, although it has a small population, its economy is developing rapidly. In addition to having oil and natural gas resources, all this is also related to Qatar's Queen Mother Sheikh Moza. In addition to driving the economic development of Qatar, she even spent 18 years on a revenge plan. She can be called the "modern-day Zhen Huan".
In 1971, a tribal chief, Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, launched a coup and seized power from his cousin, becoming the supreme leader of Qatar. However, Khalifa wanted to monopolize oil and natural gas, which aroused dissatisfaction among many tribes, including Sheikh Moza's father. Sheikh Moza's father advocated that oil and natural gas belong to the state and are collectively enjoyed by citizens. This approach angered Khalifa, and Sheikh Moza's father was imprisoned, and the entire family was exiled to Kuwait .
During his exile, Sheikh Moza never gave up on himself or neglected his studies, and was finally admitted to the Sociology Department of Qatar University. With her eye-catching appearance and smart mind, she immediately became a popular figure on campus and attracted the attention of Crown Prince Hamad. As the eldest son of Khalifa, Hamad received Western education since childhood and fell in love with Sheikh Mozak at first sight.
Hamad insisted on marrying Sheikh Moza. However, King Khalifa had arranged a marriage for the prince at that time, and it was difficult to accept the entry of the daughter of his enemy. After all, the father could not resist his son. At the insistence of the prince, the king asked Sheikh Moza to enter the palace as a "concubine". With her knowledge and experience, Sheikh Moza discovered business opportunities in pearl mining, one of Qatar's important industries. She suggested to her husband that low-quality pearls be processed into daily necessities, thereby opening up the processing and sales of pearls in Qatar. In 1979, Sheikh Moza found a natural black pearl. At that time, a foreign auction house valued it at US$700,000. However, the king was unwilling to accept his wife's unwillingness to give the pearl, so he bought the black pearl for US$1 million. This US$1 million became the capital for Sheikh Moza's business, and Sheikh Moza conducted artificial pearl cultivation!
Relying on money to make money, Sheikh Moza quickly earned a large amount of wealth for the national treasury and improved national employment opportunities. This also made her more and more popular among the people and made her husband trust her more. She never forgets to seek Sheikh Moza’s opinion on everything, 1985 In 2004, Khalifa asked Hamad to marry a third wife in order to appease the tribe. At that time, Hamad made conditions to his father, hoping that Sheikh Moza would be in charge of royal family affairs, including investment and financial management.
In 1995, Sheikh Moza and her husband took advantage of the king's vacation abroad to launch a "bloodless coup" to oust the king from the throne. Hamad became the new ruler, and Sheikh Moza made a lot of money for Qatar by exchanging oil for U.S. dollars and opening up the art market. At the same time, Hamad followed Sheikh Moza's instructions and successively implemented free medical care and compulsory education for all, winning the love of the people.
Sheikh Moza has been named one of the "most powerful women in the world". She has also broken the Middle East royal tradition by appearing in major international diplomacy without wearing a veil. This daughter of a prisoner transformed into a beloved princess. Not only was she dubbed "the greatest miracle in the history of Qatar" by the people, the old King Khalifa must have never expected that the daughter of a prisoner would force him to abdicate and take charge of Qatar.
