Born and raised in the United States, Haraby, who is of mixed Arab descent, would not have imagined that one day she would change her faith, abandon her name, and marry an old widower.
Of course, it is said that he is an old widower, but he is more attractive than any young man, he is the King Hussein of Jordan.
When I met Hussein, Halabi was 26 years old.
She is not only Bai Fumei, but also a female student who graduated from Princeton University and is one of the first female students enrolled in the school. In 1974, she earned a degree in architecture and urban planning.
The 26-year-old's acquaintance with Hussein was also unexpected, she designed an airport for an airline and inadvertently attracted the king of Jordan with a big smile on the runway.
At that time, Hussein, who was 16 years older than her, had already been married three times and had eight children in the palace.
Speaking of Hussein, he is also a troubled person on the road of love.
As a prince and a crown prince, marriage is mostly inseparable from the restriction of interests. However, his first marriage is too reasonable for outsiders.
In 1955, Hussein married Princess Tina of the Egyptian royal family, graduated from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and was a proper scholar.
Although the princess met Hussein's request for a better education for her partner, he did not look up to others and divorced within a few years.
The second marriage, the princess is From the United Kingdom Muna, which lasted for 10 years, and finally ended with a personality incompatibility.
After two failed marriages, he finally ushered in a happy third marriage, and the queen was the daughter of a diplomat, which was very compatible with him.
He thought he could sing with his husband and wife from now on, but who knew that an air crash in 1977 took away his happiness.
Fate is so incomprehensible, the queen's departure was originally to make room for the future new queen.
In 1977, Hussein met Haraby and began his pursuit.
In the face of this widower who had been married three times and was much older than himself, Haraby was still hesitant. She had also heard a lot about Hussein, of course, all of which were bad aspects.
The reputation of 8 children and "playboys" is not yet the most important. The problem is, Haraby doesn't speak Arabic very well, and how does she cope with the big son of the royal family when she marries?
Hussein was determined to marry a beautiful woman into the royal family, write poetry, sing songs, how romantic to come.
Halabbi finally moved, and in 1978 the two married in a low-key manner.
She later changed her name to Noor. Hussein, the name Hussein gave her, means "Hussein's Light", for whom she converted and learned Arabic.
An American woman who fell in love with the king of Jordan immediately developed her love for him into love for the whole country, and she actively supported the infrastructure of many countries.
The government affairs are done well, and it does not delay her to be beautiful at any time.
Or dignified and elegant traditional clothing, or trendy fashion, with her kind and natural smile, the Jordanian people also changed from initial disapproval to support, and even called her the Grace of the Middle East.
To be a stepmother for 8 children, but also to be a good stepmother. Later, he had four children of his own.
These 12 children alone are enough for her to keep busy. She was still able to accompany Hussein on various state visits and assist him in solving the country's problems.
Unfortunately, the continuation of the story is not that the king and queen love each other and live together, 20 years of each other, waiting until Hussein has cancer.
Noor accompanied Hussein until 1999, when their marital fate ended with Hussein's illness.
That year, Noor was 47 years old, and all she had left, except for 12 children, was a mess.
Hussein made a will before his death that the future throne would be succeeded by Noor's son, Prince Hamza. Admittedly, this is the last love for Noor. However, Noor's mother and son must also be blessed to be consumed.
Don't forget, the eldest son of the old king, Abdullah II, is 37 years old at this time, and he has already established a family and a 5-year-old son.
The old King Hussein succeeded to the throne on the day of his death on 7 February 1999.
However, if the crown prince is his own half-brother and not his own son, is this not to be a passing god of wealth and give up his great welfare to others?
Without the old king Hussein, the light of Noor, Hussein, suddenly dimmed.
Although she had worked hard to build up a popular base for the service of the country in the previous 20 years, how could she resist the prestige of the new king.
In order to get out of the not-so-good situation and win the hearts and minds of his son Hamza, Noor has also made efforts.
She is more enthusiastic than before to participate in the country's infrastructure, environmental protection, agriculture, education, public health care, etc., and everything she can participate in will not fall behind.
Unfortunately, these are all scraps of power, and they are of no help to the throne except to win some good names.
In 2004, Abdullah II, who had a strong foundation, issued a statement of deep love for his younger brother Hamza, meaning that the status of crown prince had severely limited Hamza's freedom, and that the older brother could not bear to give his brother so much pressure.
To put it bluntly, Hamza's crown princeship was abolished, and he became the Prince of Hamza.
In 2009, Abdullah II made his son Crown Prince.
Seeing that the trend has gone, Noor did not have too much nostalgia and entanglement, but turned around and went to the United States, returned to the famous brown university to study, and obtained an honorary doctorate degree.
After that, Noor traveled to various countries and lived younger and younger.
Born in 1951, she is in the same frame as her daughter-in-law, Abdullah's queen Rania, who is 20 years apart, like a sister, and it is completely impossible to see that she is an old woman of nearly 70 years old.
Driven away by his stepson's calculations, Nur could not see the depressed appearance of a queen who had stood on the side. On the contrary, she was more confident and atmospheric, and she lived as a real light.
