see an earlier post by maryshawn in this very thread:
"Roland Dallas' book "King Hussein," says they simply grew apart. The king was caught up in many political issues and spent a lot of time away from their home. Dallas implies PMuna was a great mother but lacked the interest in political affairs and this created further estrangement (however, I take this with a grain of salt as it didn't seem he spoke a great deal about politics with QAlia either; QNoor says they spoke of it often). Dallas says KHussein was "ripe for the picking," so to speak, when he met or became re-acquainted with QAlia (he'd babysat for her) at a buffet. It was that old "love at first sight" thing--and, after he'd asked her to join him in opening the buffet, he began to pursue her and divorced PMuna and married QAlia a day after the divorce on Dec. 25, 1972.
