Biography
She attended Westover School, where she captained the volleyball team and graduated in 1986; her father spoke at the commencement. She married Majdi Farid Al-Saleh on 3 August 1989. Together, they have two biological children: Jaafar Al-Saleh, born 9 November 1990, and Jumana Al-Saleh. They also have an adopted daughter, Tahani Al-Shahwa.
Princess Zein has been involved in humanitarian efforts since the 1990s. She offered financial support to the Gulf Peace Team, a nonviolent protest group during the Gulf War. In 1997, King Hussein ordered Hashemiyeh Palace, then used to House foreign dignitaries, converted into an orphanage after learning of poor conditions for orphans in Amman. He selected Princess Zein to run the new facility and act as its patron; it opened nine months later as Dar Al Bir. In 2013, she visited Miami Children's Hospital for a demonstration of telehealth programs.
She and her husband also own Royal Jaafar Stud, where they breed Arabian horses.
