But a person does not need a degree to run a successful business for example, just look at somebody like Richard Branson. Education is incredibly important but sometimes experience of a working environment can be so much more.

You are right ,Little _star. There are so many wealthy people in the world who do not have any degrees. I myself know a lot of them. You don't need attand the top universities in order to become successful. Just because someone studied at Cambridge, Oxford or Harvard it doesn't mean that they are more successful and valuer people than anyone else (include the royals).

Part I

-Prince Talal and QZ had actually 6 children,:
Hussein, Asma’a (died very young), Mohammad, Hassan, Muhsen (died young) and Basma.



-Prince Hassan was very close to his nanny (Umsiyat), who was Prince Tala’s Nanny

Back in Al-Hijaz, she was Originally African; He used to miss her a lot during his stay

In London, until one day when he was about 13, he looked for her and never found her, and then he was told that she passed away. That incident made Al-Hassan, who was still a child, lonelier (Back then he was called the sad Prince).





-Who’s the closest person to you from your family?

Prince Hassan: My sister Basma,as I am only 4 years older than her and ALia bint Al-Hussein who’s 9 years younger than I am.

We would always play together.



-Princess Alia bint Al-Hussein: My uncle Hassan (3ammy Hassan), was fun to play with , but he also used to scare us, because he watched over us most of the time. He used to play rough (laughing), but it was great!

HRH Adds, He loves to win, When my aunt Basma or I won, he would underestimate that winning and would be like, “Come on!, It’s nothing” (still laughing)

He even used to tease me if I win him by saying (in a teasing way):”Yea of course you won! We didn’t study English literature like you! “



-Jawad Annani (a former minister and chief of the Royal Court): Prince Hassan doesn’t accept anything wrong; he likes everything to be perfect! He becomes very furious if anything goes wrong.

He was feared, everything has to go just perfect, and everyone had to do his job, the right way, or else….! (Laughing).



- You were so much feared by the senates?

Prince Hassan (laughing out very loud): Oh, They still do fear me! Why did they put me on the shelf then (put me aside)?!! (laish hattouny 3la el raf la3ad?!).



- Monzer Haddadine (a former minister of water): He used to make us work and finish our jobs even if it took all day long. (Details omitted).



- "الملكية الناجحة هي التي تقلل من الرعوية"

(Not sure of the exact translation, but I’ll give it a try): The successful monarchy is the one that reduces the followers!(is the one that relies on institutions rather than personal loyalties)” Prince Hassan Said.



-He used to supervise everything to make sure everything is going the right way.

-He said I was raised the “British way”, I was very strict and disciplined”, and I believe in conversations and methods of convincing others “If u have a brain, let me meet with it (?)”



-Monzer Haddadine: even though he was very tough, he was very kind and compassionate.



-Are you moody your royal Highness?

Prince Hassan: Excuse me? Am I what? Moody? Oh yes I am. Sometimes I think people got me wrong, I am very honest and my honesty got me in trouble. I get upset quickly and easily!



-Do you think some people felt that you mistreated them in a way or another? Has anyone been “evil” to you?

Prince Hassan :Well, I forget the mistreatment and them being evil to me, but they never forget my mistreatment “to them”(which wasn’t intended in purpose of course),and they would all stab me in the back and “return” it back to me!

(أنا أنسى الإساءة و لكنهم لا ينسون و بردولي إياها!)



- The host: I found great sadness in his eyes, those eyes which hide a baby who had suffered a lot from loneliness.



- Princess Alia: People say My uncle Hassan is rough and cold, but the contrary is true, he’s very caring and very emotional , but I think his coldness is a way of “protection”, because he’s very sensitive, warm, and above all he has a “wide” awake conscious.





- Is it true that you rarely smile “Kesher”?

Prince Hassan: Do u see me like that?! (laughing). But I am Serious, I remember once a colleague told me that I never smile and I look too Serious when giving out speeches or when I am in meetings abroad that I need to smile, so I laughed and told him, in such meetings we discuss the “The conditions of the Arab world” and I don’t think that’s something conducive to smiling!!!.

Part II

-1979 he published a book called “A Study on Jerusalem”.



-Host: There’s a very well known issue between Jordanians and Jordanians from Palestinian origins, It’s said that you are to the side of Jordanians and do care for them more?

Prince Hassan:My father was born in Al-Hijaz, and Palestinians were born in Jerusalem (or in any other place in Palestine),so I am no more a Jordanian than they are! I have been so interested in the Palestinian issue and I was so excited and keen on the Idea of sending 1948 Palestinians (Arab-Israelis) to “al-Hajj” through Jordan, I think there isn’t any need for such talks and there’s no need for bashing too!



- In 1956 his royal highness left to London to study in “summer field school”, students teased him a lot and he felt he was abused, they threw stones at him and called him “The Arabic with the Dark complexion” and the “uncivilized” , which made him become proud of who he really was and where he came from.

- Prince Hassan: I’ve always been the youngest among all students in my class and that’s the reason why I was only 17 when I graduated! I was outstanding as well.

There was sorrow and grief in my family, loosing 3 children (*there was another child between PH and PB but he wasn’t named as he died soon after he was born), My grandfather’s death and my father’s illness, So I felt that my family built high hopes on me , that I have to study and get the best degrees.



-Host: In London faced a new atmosphere, one that is completely different than yours, how did u deal with that?

- Prince Hassan: Well, I wasn’t much of a party person, I didn’t go to nightclubs….(Host cuts in)…But as a teenager , didn’t u feel like doing what all the other teenagers did?

Prince Hassan (laughing): I never was a teenager; I’ve always been a soldier!!

(عمري ما كنت مراهق طول عمري خدمة علم!!!)`



-Prince Hassan Speaks 7 languages, one of them is Hebrew ,he learnt it so that he would know the language of his enemies, he also speaks French,Spanish,Turkish&German next to English and Arabic!.

Prince Hassan: I remember my mother used to speak French with her friends while were abroad.




** I'll be posting part 3 tomorrow which is a very intresting part,he will talk about his relationship with KH and what happend in 1999....He will also talk about his fav.dishes and then there's gonna be a short interview with Rashid too.

Stay tuned...lol.

Thanks, lil Monkey! You're the best for indulging my El Hassan family love! Until now, I was feeling a little deprived because I'm not in an area that receives this telecast. But I feel much better knowing you are looking out for me. :)
