King Hussein’s Wife
Princess Muna al-Hussein actually happened to first be known as Antoinette Avril Gardiner, since she was born in the United Kingdom. She converted to Islam in order to become the king’s second wife, after the two met on the set of Lawrence of Arabia. The couple bore four children together – King Abdullah II, Prince Faisal, Princess Aisha and Princess Zein (twins).
