Princess Alia bint al Hussein

[rollin_keef]

did P Alia bint Hussein see much of her mum during her childhood? ive heard she was brought up by Q Zein

[alia_musallam]

I too had the impression that she grew up with her aunt Basma and uncle Hassan... there are photos of the three of them as children with QZein in Switzerland on PHassan's website...

Alia bint Hussein is the eldest daughter by KH and Princess Dina, his first wife, she was only 1 year old when KH divorced her mother and she stayed in Jordan with her father , while her mum, who was from Egypt, stayed in Egypt and could not meet her daughter for about 5 years til Princess Muna talked KH to let Alia meet her mother again, they are very close ,now, don't know if Princess Dina still lives in Egypt or in Jordan with her daughter and her family.

• b) Talal al-Saleh. b. 12th September 1989.
• c) Abdul Hamid al-Saleh. b. 15th November 1991.

She is called al saleh b'coz of her husband,it's his surname.She is a nice lady,blue eyed,looks alot like her mom.I've seen an interview with Queen Dina,days after the late king died on ART channel,Alia shares same face features with her but she has a Jordanian accent while her mom has Egyptian accent.She's so humble,I've seen interviews with Alia,she'd answer to the calls in a very humble,down to earth way.She considers Prince Hassan and Princess Basma "friends" more than an uncle and an aunt because there's not much age difference between them.
Her son,Prince Hussein is a charming young man,got his title though he shouldn't coz he was KH's firt grandchild and named after him.He's fair and blonde,a bit like Prince Hashim.There's an onld thread where his nany talks about him,search for it and read it,useful info there.The two sons where named after her grandfathers,late King Talal and the late Sharif Abdul Hamid.
I posted 2 pics I found in a quick search but you'll find ones in the agencies,here in this thread there are photos of her when she was a child with here mom.

Wasn't she great on that interview. Well,I know she's very kind and caring,she's holding a degree in English Literature , and I also know she's close to everyone and she's also very close to Prince Hassan. but u can know more about her from King hussein's official website.

Several months ago, P. Alia gave an interview in a Kuwaiti newspaper in which she was asked about P. Hassan, and her relationship with him and the whole succession issue. She said he was like a brother to her, but even more important, she said she knows for a fact that he offered to hand over the post of crown prince to his nephew two times. Once when he turned eighteen and once when he was about thirty, and each time the offer was turned down by K.Hussein, on the grounds that Jordan and the Hashemite family needed P.Hassan. This was all reported in the now closed ARF. I wish I could remember the name of the newspaper. They gave it at the time.

alwatan ....kuait

Wow, that is great Reeda. Do you have it handy ? Can you give an synopsis of what it said here ? It would back up the translation lil Monkey did of the last interview. I have just gone on line and the MBC interview is being broadcast tomorrow 5 pm Amman time again. I am going to try and catch it because I have been told that there is a lot of good film footage and you see a lot of the man relaxing etc. which gives a little seen and different perpespective on him, and that it is worth watching without knowing Arabic ! :)

[Joumana]

Princess Alia is 50 years old this year. Does her mother princess Dina live?

[hilal]

Yes, Princess Dina lives in Egypt.

[salwa]

I guess that Queen Dina was teh only ex wife of king Hussein who remarried . She married a Palestenian Fedaiee" palestenian Guerella man- a fighter ya3ni" called Salah Al -Tamari. My uncle and his wife met her several times in London and my cousin was named Dina after her:).

I saw a photo for Hussein Mirza when he was a child in a magazine in my aunt house in Abu Dhabi in the late 80's , his father is cercasian and he was blonde...

[houri]

I saw princess Alia once with princess Haya in dubai she seemed very close to princess Haya .

[hilal]

They both like the horses, the ride.
