Who is Jenny Abdul Akbar from A Handful of Dust and what is their importance?

Jenny Abdul Akbar is a princess by a past marriage who rents the flat next to Brenda. She was abused by her husband, the prince of Morocco. She is the oddest character in their group but is very wealthy and is therefore accepted. She is known for the heavy aroma of her perfume whenever she enters a room. She is very pretty, so Brenda tries to get Tony to fall from her to release her from any blame for her affair with Beaver. Tony can't stand to be in the same room with her for very long, but John Andrew loves her and even flirts with her a little.
