New York Times' Carlos Slim romancing Queen Noor of Jordan?

New York, Jul 9 (ANI): Mexican businessman Carlos Slim is rumoured to be romancing Queen Noor of Jordan.

The claim made by culture blog transracial.net, says Slim, 69, "has been involved in a golden-years romance" with the 57-year-old Jordanian royal.

"She visits [Mexico City] often, is said to be studying Spanish, stays in the hip Hotel Condesa and they either rendezvous at the private homes of friends or in luxury resorts in Latin America," the New York Post quoted the blog as stating.

The couple was seen in New York in May 2007 at a Tate Modern fund- raiser also attended by Calvin Klein, Chelsea Clinton and Lady Rothschild.

Last month, it was reported the pair had stayed together at New York's Palace Hotel, but the queen's office has called it "entirely erroneous".

Slim, who is of Lebanese descent, and Noor, born to a Syrian father, lost their respective spouses within a day of each other in 1999. (ANI)
