The Mysterious 'Khadija'

The real identiy of "Khadija," a veiled women who delivered "an alternative Christmas message" on the U.K.’s Channel 4 to coincide with the traditional Queen's Christmas message, remains a mystery. Khadija said she wanted the viewers to focus on her message, which is the freedom to be veiled, rather than on her identity.
