In addition to the Jordanian royals, many other European royals have married (or will marry) individuals outside of their homeland:
Margrethe of Denmark married French-born Henrik
Beatrix of the Netherlands married German-born Claus
Juan Carlos of Spain married Greek-born Sofia (nee Sophie)
Constantine of Greece married Danish-born Anne Marie
Albert of Belgium married Italian-born Paola
Carl Gustav of Sweden married Brazillian-born Silvia
Willem of the Netherlands married Argentinian-born Maxima
Pavlos of Greece married British-born (American-born?) Marie Chantal
Alexia of Greece married Spanish-born Carlos Morales
Emmanuel of Italy married French-born actress Coltilde
Laurent of Belgium married British-born Claire
Joachim of Denmark married British-born Alexandra
Frederik of Denmark will marry Australian-born Mary
The list could go on and on.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with these individuals who were born in other countries and married into royal families. A royal marrying someone from their own country of birth doesn't guarantee a successful union either. Look at Charles and Andrew of Great Britain who both married British women, and both marriages ended in divorce.
I think this blows the "freakin weird" theory out of the water.
