Princess Muna Al Hussein[2] (Arabic: منى الحسين, born Toni Avril Gardiner 25 April 1941) is the mother of Abdullah II of Jordan.
Gardiner's father was a British Army officer who finished his career with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
[3][4] Gardiner met the King of Jordan, Hussein, while working as a secretarial assistant on the film set of Lawrence of Arabia.
The King had allowed his troops to work as extras on this film and would occasionally visit to monitor the production's progress.
However, there is another report, stating that Gardiner and the King met when her father began to work as a military adviser in Jordan.
