really ? I had never noticed it, of course she must have inherited her mum's nose-

It made it seem more like 6 months but it was, in fact, 6 weeks. It would seem far more likely to me they began courting when she moved to Jordan at the behest of her father.....and I can't remember when that was but it was months before she states the courtship began. I need to look up that article written by the journalist who described him as a lonely man and said it was post Alia and just before Noor. I posted it somewhere. That may give a better idea of timing.

I read somewhere that KH's proposal to Lisa took place only 2 months after QA's death, in April 1977, I doubt that can be true, but well, it could, don't know, really-

I read that King Husseing met Lisa Halaby before Queen Alia's death on the occasion of some events,so it's possible that the king asked to the future Queen Noor to be married only two month later of Alis's death.
