Sean,
You had mentioned that Ali was Palestinean. I haven't read anything that stated Queen Alia was a Palestinean. Can you let me know were you found that out at? The only information I have found on Queen Alia states that she was Arab. I would like to find out more about her. Thanks.

Well, it is a widely known fact that Alia Toukan was Palestinian. I guess it's one of those things that I've always known. You can do a Google Search using the words Queen Alia or Alia Toukon.

Btw, have you seen the Queen Alia memorial?

Thanks! A few of the sources probably did state she was Palestinean but the majority simply state that she was Arab. I definately need to update my sources since most of them are from my college days. I just haven't had the time lately. Thanks for the link to the memorial. I haven't seen it yet.

Hello. Sorry for for failing to be up-to-date - since I've noticed that this thread is without any photos, and I did, by chance, come accross some of them, I thought it wouldn't hurt to place them here.

By the way, they are about 3 months old. (Oct. 7th, 2003). Regards.

[poes]

Q Alia was Circassian to be more precise, so not originally palestinian if you can say so.

That is true. Q Alia was from the Tawqan clan, a Circassian clan but the family name was arabized to Touqan as a result of her family's migration Palestine then Egypt. Prince Ali is fluent in Circassian. Therefore the only full Arab child of K. Hussein is P. Alia, his first child. None of his sons are full Arabs.

[alia_musallam]

Circassians are not Arabs! They do not consider themselves as Arabs, in fact the huge Circassian population in Jordan don't even seem to consider themsleves Jordanian particularly, though of course they are, especially because they are the ones who first inhabited and built Amman, Salt and Jerash since the old cities fell into ruin and before King Abdullah I arrived from the Hijaz. In fact before he had a palace built he used to live with Circassian families in Salt and Amman. But Ali is not fully Arab, he represents the current ethnic mix that is Jordan.

I have the same problem.

Guys, quite a few of us experienced the same difficulties with uploading on LTR - the most common reason for not being able to post your pics is their size - they can not be larger than 32kb. Please, check the '(Queen) Rania's shoes' thread on this Forum and you should be able to find step-by-step help with your pics posting. Good luck! :flower:

princess alia is jordanian from salt, her fathers house still there ,it is an old and now a museum of jordanian heritage,
it is true that touqan clan is originally palastinian clan but queen alia belongs to the jordanian branch of this family who lived in jordan before 1948 .

I know about the size and the format. I've even tried to save pictures that were already posted on here and reposting them to test them out but they still didn't work.

I just use links now. I don't post anything from my computer, which is a shame because I have a TON of CP Hamzi pictures that I want to share here.

[srbjakoska]

here is a photo of Prince Ali at the Jeddah Economic forum, i had to resize the photo because it wouldnt upload otherwise.

[shannen26]

well, I think he's fantastic, and as always he's looking so upset.
