do u guys remember in one of QN's pics back in the 80's she had this dark pink suit (a llong jacket and a skirt)?does anyone have the pic please?
 
WEll I found out that syhe is the wife of Prince zeid (Sp) of Jordan and Iraq. I think I read on this one of the threads as well. But they do not use their iraq titoes. But I guess he is a descendent of the hashemite rulers of Iraq. Also she comes froma wealthy family from Houston, TX.

Her husband's grandfather Prince Zeid bin Hussein was the youngest brother of King Faisal I of Iraq and King Abdullah I of Jordan. When all members of the Iraqi royal family were killed in 1958 by the rebels, Prince Zeid was in London as Iraq's ambassador to the UK (and survived because of that). He (and later his only son Prince Raad who settled in Jordan) became the official Hashemite claimant to the throne of Iraq.

Reina,

I agree totally; very different "look" for QN but it was taken on their honeymoon in Scotland when she says she was still trying to figure out the what is appropriate to wear thing..... And note the lack of makeup and hairstyle..... She really evolved a lot between that photo and the official portrait posted next. I like that portrait a lot and had never seen it before; still simple but very nice looking.
 
I wasn't talking about her look. I am saying how did she get in that position. SHe kind of looks like she should have been somewhere else, doing other things than marrying a king who is 16 years older than her. This is the same way I feel of PMuna.

Like a Peace Corps volunteer perhaps? Or someone who wanted to be engaged in making a difference in social causes as she had dreamed in college? I see what you're saying and agree. I think a number of people wonder why she chose the path she did as she did seem like such an odd choice. But KH didn't always go for the conventional choice when it came to picking wives.....and I think he was a lonely man who wanted a wife and I stand by my earlier statements--which many disagreed with--she bore a passing enough resemblance to QA to fit the bill at the time.
 
She definitely has a resemblance to QA. The fact that PHaya looks so much like her supports this too.
 
Very nice photo, prophetess. Thank you for sharing!

Ah...I remember that edition quite well. In it she explains that she thought Christianity was too dogmatic or something like that. I guess she eventually saw the 'light':confused: :rolleyes:

Thanks for the nice words about the photos. Yes, Reina, you have a good memory; she did say she found it easy to embrace Islam because she found Christianity too dogmatic. Then her friends chimed in to say her conversion to Islam made her life much easier to deal with as its basic tenets are acceptance and acknowledgement things are out of our hands. So any difficulties she encountered as Queen and then losing KH were easier to cope with.

When I read that I was so surprised. But I guess the branch of Christianity she was exposed to would be dogmatic. It is so sad because true Christianity is not dogmatic. I wished she were exposed to it. Denominations really can screw up things...
