Lovely pics of Princess Muna, she is so elegant and excellent choice of clothes. King Abdullah should conider making her Queen Mother.

Don't mean to offend but the Jordanian Constitution will not allow it. This was (if I'm correct) due to Queen Zein , placing a condition that those whom hold Monarchial titles within Jordan must be Arab.:)

No offence meant by my comments.:)

Queen Noor is Half Lebanese/Syrian and Swedish. Her mother was Sweedish and US born. Her Father was Arab.

I just remember in Leap of Faith her talking about how her paternal grandparents were from Aleppo in Syria, and living shortly in Lebanon before coming to America. And that her mother was Swedish/European. She must look like her mother's family, she doesn't look Arab to me at all.

I'm not sure if this image has been posted before, but I have always liked it

No matter what Noor says she is still very American to me. She is just a quarter Arab. She does'nt have any ties in Syria or Lebanon where her descendents came from. So I don't see why Princess Muna can't be made Queen mother, the title is rightfully her. Though it would be rather complicated having 3 Queens for one country!

Alicky · #70 08-05-2005, 11:03 AM

I thought she was half Arab? Weren't Najeeb's parents both Syrian? And she does physically look more American, more western. But it depends on what you use to define what makes someone "American" and "Arab," to me it's not appearances. :)

Queen Noor is the official dowager Queen? I wasn't sure if the use of Queen before her name was official or not. And as far as Muna, didn't she not want the title of Queen when she was married? Maybe she doesn't want it now? She was never "Queen" to begin with right? Either I hear she was, or I hear that she wasn't.

Muna was'nt made Queen because at the ttime she married King Hussein there was a lot of of anti-British feling prevelant in Jordan. That's why the King felt it would be better for her to adopt the title 'Princess'
