The Future Queen of Jordan

Her eyes fell upon him for the first time in London, at the house of Queen Alia, mother of King Faisal of Iraq, may God rest her soul. Princess Dina was at that time a student at Cambridge University.

The Jordanian royal family discerned in her — lofty alike in person and in character — what befits the future queen of Jordan; the idea was whispered in her ear, and her heart fluttered at it! It had never crossed the mind of the captivating young woman that she would ascend a throne with such ease... And she became certain that the idea deserved her attention and encouragement, especially after friendship and love grew firm between her and King Hussein; and the matter ended with the announcement of the betrothal the coming month, and then the fixing of April 19 as the date of the wedding.

Princess Dina Abdul Hamid has been presented to world opinion as one who will become the first queen in history to hold a master's degree from Cambridge!

And her beautiful head holds a sound mind of a kind seldom to be found in queens! She is calm, poised, and gentle, as though her high classical culture had prepared her for the loftiest of ranks! If there is any breach in the perfect harmony of the betrothed pair, it is the difference in age between them: she is twenty-six (26) and he nineteen (19) — and had it been the other way around, it would have been better!.. Apart from this, Dina has the air of queens and their weight, and hopes are pinned that her "sweet face" will be an opening of good fortune and blessing for the sisterly Jordanian Kingdom — to the two noble betrothed, the deepest congratulations of "The Woman's Voice."
