Amira Al-Tawil was not a princess by birth, she became one after she became the wife of a prince. But, after she quietly divorced the nephew of the King of Saudi Arabia, she did not stop being called a princess, despite the influence of other women in the royal family. She actively advocates for women's rights, such as the right to drive, study and work, without begging for a man's permission. Amira herself drives a car perfectly, has an international driver's license and is not much different from modern European women.

Amira Al-Tawil met her future husband while studying for journalism. Marriage and monarchical life did not induce her to abandon her ambitions. Princess Amira became an active participant in poverty alleviation programs, drawing the attention of the West to the problems of women in the East. However, her views, appearance and lifestyle did not find a positive response from her husband's relatives. Meanwhile, Princess Amira is an example of progressive women.
