No its oficial.

I'm very glad that it's finally official. Prince Hussein has a huge task ahead of him but i'm sure he knows that.

He shall be vested with all rights and privileges pertaining to this decree."

15 seems young, but he has so much to learn, that I guess King Abdullah wanted to begin preparing him. Congratulations to Crown Prince Hussein, and the people of Jordan!

[Turkish Delight]

Finally! Congratulations to Prince Hussein!
Hope he will be a good King for Jordan!

Thanks jordan. Great video. Prince Hussein was so cute, and King Hussein seems very nice grandfather. Is Queen Rania saying "Peep" ?

Yes, Lilo, you're right - the Late King was extremely happy to have such a family. I believe that one day Prince Husein will be as a responsible and wise king as his father and grandfather. Jordan should be pround of such monarchs!

...
The Constitution of the land makes designation of the Crown Prince a pressing demand; in accordance with it, the eldest son of the King is normally assigned Crown Prince, and what the Royal Decree issued on July 2 did was simply to give expression to the normative practice in this regard.
Jordanians welcomed the decision, expressing happiness and deep satisfaction that the post of Crown Prince has been filled in strict compliance with the organic law of the Kingdom....
...
We congratulate the Crown Prince on this happy occasion and pray to God that he will be most successful in all his endeavours under the watchful eyes of the King and Queen.

Ditto. It was only a matter of time before this happened, frankly. I kept thinking what would the late King Hussein would be thinking, seeing that his son repeated history by removing his brother as CP and replacing him with his eldest son. I wonder if he would have approved.

In both cases, the king was acting in accordance with the Jordanian constitution, under which a monarch’s eldest son is heir to the throne.
Let’s not forget the fact that Prince Hassan also replaced his nephew, Crown Prince Abdullah, due to the exceptional circumstances at the time. CP Abdullah had assumed the position at birth.

Well, to be honest, it is no great surprise. Many have been expecting it since Abdullah became king despite Rania's disingenuous remarks in interviews. It is why Hamzah was stripped of the title by Abdullah in the first place.

[Humera]

Queen Rania never implied anything to the contrary, when asked how she felt about her son being CP, she only implied that she thought he was too young for the job, and considering that was at least 4 years ago, you can see why a mother would say that. Being CP in a country like Jordan is not easy, particularly when the royal family have had their lives threatened on more than one occasion. Prince Hussein is still young but not a baby, if he is to be King of Jordan one day, he’ll need to start preparing for that role now. He has a demanding job ahead of him and he’s going to need everyone around him to help and guide him. This is not the time to bring out old axes that need grinding (re: Prince Hamzah).
