It was widely accused of racism.
But Queen Rania posted a cartoon by Jordanian cartoonist Osama Hajjaj on social media showing Alan as a doctor.

"Alan could`ve been a doctor, a teacher, a loving parent," she wrote. The Charlie Hebdo cartoon followed the revelation that gangs of migrants carried out organised sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year`s Eve.
Alan`s relatives in Canada said they were disgusted at Charlie Hebdo`s cartoon. However, some people have interpreted it as mocking the media for how quickly it switches from positive to negative stereotypes.
The magazine has put Alan Kurdi in a number of cartoons over recent months, including one that showed the boy`s body washed up on the beach next to a McDonald`s advertisement with the caption: "So close".
The photograph of two-year-old Alan lying face down on a beach in Turkey caused an international outcry over the human cost of the migrant crisis.
