i understood a little of the last part of the article, it mentioned a brief record of Hashem's education, saying he graduated from Sandhurst in 2000 and from Georgetown in 2005. Part of the first part talked about Hashem's parents, and how QN came from an American-Lebanese family.... it talked...

I saw him on CNN too. There was live feed from al jazeera and al arabiya. It was of Hashim at the hotels and hospitals, also speaking with officials. He looked great, very much in control and very mature.

He should really know better than to do something so stupid!! It's not a clever or funny outfit, it's really offensive. And the theme really pisses me off too.... colonials and natives? The days of the Empire are over!! And thank God for that!! Prince William should have made him take off...

I was in Jordan recently and I went to a public exhibit of King Hussein's car collection. It was shocking and baffling, the hundreds of rare and priceless cars and motorcylces. Millions and Millions of dollars worth of vehicles were in there. I recall a couple of Lambourghini's, dozens of...

I understand what you are getting at.... I think that Alia was a woman that thought with her heart as opposed to her mind.... I think Rania and Noor can detatch themselves emotionally from certain things (criticism, the busy schedule of their husbands, perhaps even being second in importance to...

I really enjoyed the article too, thanks maryshawn! I really do think very highly of King Hussein, and I miss his presence in the region and the world. He had an old-world charm and a depth and wisdom that was enchanting.

Inshallah means "God Willing."

He may have been using a teleprompter.... he has used them in the past.

I'm not familiar with with the interview that you are referring to, but in her memoirs she mentions two photos.... one which was taken the day that she first met the King on the tarmac at Amman International Airport (it was lost, so I don't think that was the one) and another, of King Hussien...

Here is the link to CNN's report on the engagement. Aparently the wedding date has been set for September 7th. http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/04...iage/index.html

Thank you for the links, they're great!

A thought just occured to me.... Queen Rania always borrows Princess Haya's tiara (the one she inherited from her Mother). I would think that Princess Haya would take it with her to Dubai, so would that mean that Queen Rania would have to buy her own tiara? A Queen certainly needs one, but i...

I know that Queen Noor will be in Vancouver in June, as part of the "Unique Lives and Experiences" tour. I'm sure she will be doing the same in Toronto.... perhaps check out the website of the tour and see the dates..... sorry I don't know the link

i think it will be a lot sooner than 5 years!!! i think as soon as she has her first public appearance everyone on this board will be talking about who designed her outfit and how much it cost!!! Plus I'm sure the issue of how much her wedding dress cost will be discussed. I sort of hope that...

lol, well I have very little chance of being invited to the wedding unless some miracle occurs, lol, so i'll have to be content with the crowded streets of Amman! :P Whose wedding or procession have you seen? ;)

When Princess Noor officially weds Crown Prince Hamzah in May, will she then be called Crown Princess?? Also, does anyone know who is designing her gown, and if there will be a public procession in Amman? I'm going to be there at the time so I would like to know!!!

Those are beautiful pictures, Dennism. I adore all the dresses that the women are wearing, especially Princess Haya's black and red one. I think that is a Palestinian dress (based on the colours and embroidery), can anyone confirm that?

I think that if Princess Haya is indeed engaged then she will wait until after her brother Hamzah's wedding to announce it, so she doesn't steal the spotlight away from him or Princess Noor Hamzah.

You're very welcome! I too admire her.... she is very understated and dignified. I also love that she wore that traditional dress too.

i had to laugh when i saw those pictures with the green boxes.... they are sweets from this place in Amman called Jabry.... i remember they have great ice cream there, lol.....

My family is Jordanian, and I have never, never, never heard them criticize Queen Noor. Whenever she would be on Larry King Live, we would always phone each other frantically to let everyone know to watch her. When I was in Jordan, people spoke highly of her and everyone thought she was a...

I also think that King Abdullah will honour his father's wish regarding Hamzah ( I do think that Queen Rania would very much like her son to succeed KA, however). I read in Queen Noor's autobiography that KA told QN that he would honour King Hussein's wish. (I also think that Queen Noor...

Rania's children are blonde because their grandmother Princess Muna is English. Their aunt, Princess Aisha (KA's sister) is VERY blonde. It runs in the family. Also, there are a lot of very fair Arabs, there are some tribes in Saudi Arabia with blonde hair and blue eyes, although that is very...
