I've seen various pictures of Prince Raad but I'm not sure who he is exactly? How is he related to King Abdullah?

Here is the Family Tree of the Hashemite Royal Family.

The common descent of these branches of the Hashemite Dynasty is from Sharif Hussein bin Ali (1853-1931), Emir of Mecca. He was the last of the Hashemite Sharifs who ruled over Mecca, and is historically significant for launching the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Army in 1916 (see also Lawrence of Arabia).

Prince Raad is a distant cousin and is in the tree as Firas (he is sometimes referred to as Prince Firas bin Raad, as Raad is his father's name) and can be found in the green central section. The lack of dates of birth on the Family Tree makes it harder to work out who is who.

I don't think anyone has been named but I think lots of people expect KA to name his own son Hussein when he gets a little older

I don't think its been announced however if KA died then i guess his eldest son would take over and the current regent Prince Ali would rule on his behalf until he comes of age!!!

I don't think there is a current regent. In the last couple of months we've seen Hashim, Hamzah, Ali and Faisal act as regent when KA is out of the country.

I think if, God forbid, anything were to happen to KA, then the senior members of the JRF would all meet and nominate a successor. And then when KA's son came of age, then who knows....
