Jordan's King Hussein had hoped to become the architect of a successful Middle East peace agreement involving Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization as well as his own kingdom. But the Hashemite monarch has seen his plans crumble in the face of P.L.O. intransigence. Happily Hussein's designs are doing better at the royal palace in Amman. The King, 50, and Queen Noor, 34, the former Lisa Halaby of Washington, recently welcomed a fourth child into their fold when Princess Raiyah al Hussein, or Banner of Hussein, joined the Princes Hamzah, 5, and Hashem, 4, and Princess Iman, 2. The queen, who earned her architecture degree at Princeton ('74), observes: "Our planning may leave something to be desired, but our designs, thank God, have been flawless." And very cute.
