This photo shows the young and dashing King Hussein and his demure and equally popular (second) wife Queen Muna, as a newly married couple on their first state visit to the United Kingdom.
At a party given in their honour by the Jordanian ambassador at his residence, they are meeting Pakistan's High Commissioner General M. Yousuf (like the King a Sandhurst graduate), accompanied by his wife Begum Zubaida Yousuf and their daughter Abida (later Mrs Ashraf Jehangir Qazi). Even prior to Prince Hassan bin Talal's much-publicised marriage to Sarvath Ikramullah, Jordanian and Pakistani diplomats and representatives met most cordially.
Queen Muna, daughter of a British RAF officer, was the mother of the present King Abdullah, whose wife, the radiant Queen Rania, is Palestinian.
King Abdullah's sister, Princess Haya bint Hussein, is a wife of Dubai's Sheikh Mohammad.
King Hussein's third wife, the Lebanese-American Queen Noor, was likewise influential and popular.
The Jordanian royal family belong to the original and revered Hashemite dynasty.
