Princess

All of the bio's I have been able to find indicate she is a Princess, but I am unable to pinpoint which person she married to become a princess. Sources also indicate that she was born in Baghdad. John Vandenberg 02:57, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Her Royal Highness Princess Wijdan Ali of Jordan was born Sharifa Wijdan bint Fawwaz Muhana on August 29, 1939 in Baghdad, Iraq. She is the daughter of the highly respected architect Sharif Fawwaz Muhana and his wife Sharifa Nafi'a bint Jamil'Ali. Sharifa Nafi'a is herself a member of the Hashemite family and is a decendant of the Prophet Mohammed and the Grand Sharifs/Emirs of Mecca.
