Sheikha Moza bint Nasser Al-Missned (Arabic: موزا بنت ناصر المسند; born 8 August 1959)[1] is one of the three consorts of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the former Emir of the State of Qatar and mother of the current Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.[2] She is the co-founder and chair of the Qatar Foundation, the largest state-owned NPO in the country.[3]

The Guardian has labelled her "the enlightened face of a profoundly conservative regime," while some refer to her as "the actual ruler of Qatar,"[4][5][6] and the "Matriarch of modern Qatar".[7]
