I tried but was not able to confirm this. I am pretty good friends with
Queen Noor's brother (Noor, an American, was married to King Hussein),
who himself is a musician (the brother, not the King), and I asked him
whether or not the King had a mellotron. He laughed and said he didn't
think so! King Hussein was an interesting man...I wouldn't put it past
him. :)
