What i think is had Queen Alia lived there would never be anyone else ,the people loved her ,and the King adored her ,and he once commented that she was the love of his life .

[Jackswife]

Q Noor (or as she was then known, Lisa Halaby) never met Hussein until about a year after Alia's death. If Alia had lived I'm pretty sure Hussein would have stayed married to her for several more years-they seemed very much in love, and she was also apparently very well-liked among the Jordanian people. But fate had other plans.

according to my knowledge QN was working at Alia airport when KH was married to QA and they knew each other before QA's death , and after her death QN entered KH house to take care of his kids , then people start talking a bout the king relationship with QN so he married her , this is what i have heard here in Jordan


I don’t think KH would marry anyone if QA was alive, she was very popular and loved in Jordan among Jordanian and Palestinian , and they loved each other so why he would marry

[maryshawn]

There has been much speculation over when KH and QN met and they did meet officially at a formal welcoming celebration at the airport sometime in 1976 when the first jumbo jet joined ALIA, the Royal Jordanian Airline, fleet. Najeeb Halaby--Lisa Halaby's father--was a consultant to ALIA and was there and invited his daughter who was working in Tehran at the time. I once posted a shot of all of them together and QN wrote that she met QA at this occasion in her book.


KH referred often to QA as his "greatest love." And they seemed well suited for one another as they had similar interests, loved being parents, he obviously was besotted with her looks as she was very pretty, and she was jordanian/palestinian so there was none of the "outsider" or language issue KH had with his marriages to Princess Muna and Queen Noor. She also had a very endearing personality--by many accounts; Barbara Bush, Margaret Trudeau, Jehan Sadat and others all mention her in their autobiographies as a very warm, kind, intelligent and very lovely woman with a great sense of humor.

The whole issue of the quick courtship of QN the year after QA's death has always been one people have found curious. I think KH was so devastated by QA's death he simply had a hard time being alone. He tried to reach out to one american journalist, chronicaled in another article I've posted here called "The King and I," and QN wrote in her book there was an english photographer who was very upset when QN entered the picture. Apparently, according to QN, this photographer had been introduced to the King through friends and she insinuates the woman likely was hoping there was a long-term future with KH.

I would like to think that had fate decided otherwise, KH would've stayed married to QA--and not just for a few more years. I saw some rare videotape of the two of them together on a documentary aired ages ago and they look so happy with one another. He just grinned at her continually and she kept looking at him with this kind of shy, beautiful smile. OK, I'm a romantic--but they looked so great together and I think they really complemented one another!

Wait so that journalist really did want to be with him. But maybe it was another journalist. Isn't te journalist from 'The King and I' American?

[maryshawn]

The one who wrote "The King and I" expresses some regret she decided to pack her things and go home after her time with KH and his sending an assistant over to her hotel extending an invitation to stay on. No, the journalist QN refers to is another who she doesn't identify by name. They have to be different as the one who wrote "The King and I" was American and QN says the other was British. The British photojournalist was in Aqaba for a long weekend party when Lisa Halaby was there and Lisa was later told the woman was very unhappy Lisa had been asked to join the group--though QN writes she was oblivious to this woman's hostile attitude until someone brought it to her attention. She had thought it was all about how she saw so many people wanting KH's attention but, in this case, the photojournalist seemed to think she had a chance with KH in terms of a relationship until she saw Lisa there.

From what I could understand within the text, it commemorates the 28th anniversary of Queen Alia's passing. Then it continues to give a consise edition of her resume.

i think the thing is.he married qalia because he felt in love with her.
she died.
he met qnoor a short time after q alias dead and felt in love with her so he married her.
maybe he would have divorced from queen alia because of queen noor.who knows?i think either king hussein nor someone else knows that!
the fact is he stayed with queen noor about 20 years until his death.so it must have been a real big love between them.
i have the feeling that he loved queen noor very much.he made five children with her.well the first died.but the first four in four years.i think he knew he wanted to stay with her forever!

[mirsada]

I think had Queen Alia not died that she possibly could have still been Queen when Kingf Hussein died. I believe that he was very upset,and saddened by the unexpected death of his wife at the age of 28. They had 3 small children and he was alone.He and Queen Noor had an incredible life together and 4 children that lasted 20 years. I know that KH was the love of QN's life. Who's to say who he loved more,Queen Alia, or Queen Noor.

[Alicky]

I don't know, I'd like to think so because I really like Queen Alia, but she was having a tough time as a Queen and as the wife of Hussein. I mean, her big wish was to live anonymously somewhere with Hussein, she didn't like the high profile life, found it very stressful and was hurt by Hussein's "fondness for British nannies." Remember where they said she would cry and scream and get it all out when he left and she was alone so it wouldn't take a toll on him? She just seemed unhappy with the public life and being a royal, and King Hussein was not the best husband, especially for someone who felt as insecure as she said she did. And the public apparently was not too sympathetic and liking towards her She might have gotten too tired of it all eventually and left had she not died when she did. Pure speculation I know but possible nonetheless. :o

[quote=Alicky] And the public apparently was not too sympathetic and liking towards her



I think this was a reason for her going into that storm that night because I think she did geniunely care for the people of Jordan, but may have felt as if she needed to prove something which is sad because it cost her life.

[Alicky]

I agree. Her skipping an occasion like that would've probably been looked at negatively by her people, they probably wouldn't have believed that the weather was too bad, that that was just an excuse for her to skip. I don't think she publicly could have afforded to skip it, so she went. She didn't want to let them down. :(

[madonna23]

thank you for the pictures suria. i agree she is very attractive and very glamorous.

[Roshanah]

Beautiful pix guys, thanks for posting them! :O)

It wasn't an occasion she skipped, it was a man who was at a hospital, and he apparently wasn't receiving the proper care, and Alia wanted to make sure that he did get the care he needed. Despite the warning from King Hussein about the weather, Alia went anyhow. This question is directed towards anyone that may know, but did the pilot survive the plane crash?

Oh I forgot, does anyone have additional photographs of HM Queen Alia's Wedding Day? Sorry If my questions seems silly. Thanks :O)
