How come the Saudi princesses dont wear hijaab?

Princess Ameerah Al-Taweel wears totally modern: no scarf, no long sleeves, no kurta etc. Saudi tends to be very strict with their dress code. They say in Saudi cities everyone walks covered. So why would the royalties especially the women of all sexes wear totally modern? Why would the king allow that?

    its not that strict..

    nowadays you'll see women who just wear concervative clothing, and no scarf in public..

    majority of women do cover, but some just dont..

    and some saudi women when outside of the country, just wear normal western style clothing..

    So far I've never seen any pictures of Princess Ameerah being uncovered and/or wearing revealing clothes in Saudi public. The strict Saudi dress code doesn't apply in foreign countries (like Saudi women also are allowed to drive abroad).

    Btw, she's an awsome good looking Lady:)

    First off, I don't think you should describe Saudi women dress code as 'old' by calling what the princess wear 'modern'.

    Women in Saudi Arabia dress this way as it is part of their culture and religion. The royal family is actually not religious at all, they drink and party... and overly spend money and don't care about the poor, that's just a little of their so many dirty acts.

    The other group that has influence on Saudi Arabia is 'Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice' and they have influence on religious matters within the country... these too are non good Muslims in my opinion, and the royal family and the commission aren't friends I guess.. perhaps only when they want them to preach over hating sects or nations Saudi is not happy with, lol.

    You know what second Caliph said Omar Farooq "There is no place for two faced people in islam". He used to hang such people during his tenure as a ruler. Islam is only for poor people these days. They have to follow its teachings and rich class is above such teachings. You know what? I will simply hang such people in public.

    this question doesnnt have an answer because well its just an opinion....

    i wear hijab and i am proud of it,but sometimes people just dont believe in this, and/or dont like it so they leave it,so times people tend to wear hijab hear and when travelling, all that goes away, it is my first year in hijab and it is going great, i hope i can keep it up.....

    so as i said the kind might not believe in hijab and it is HIS joice whether or not his daughters wear hijab, or maybe he des believe in it but gives his daughters freedom(most probably)....

    i hope i helped, and thanks for asking.
