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. :)
