Any news about him? Haven't seen him in a while......

Maybe he has been travelling as I read on another forum that he was involved with the tsunami relief efforts; and as he went to Bam and Darfour maybe he has been away from Jordan. Another Forum ( Arab Royalty) has a picture of him patronising a tree planting ceremony on Arbor Day as well, as well as many other pictures but I do not know how to copy/transfer them.

Here's a May 2003 photo of P. Rashid (on the left) acting in his capacity as Director of the Hashemite Charity Foundation. I think he was attending a meeting in Amman sponsored by the World Conference of Religions for Peace, which was hosted and moderated by his father, P. Hassan.

That is Prince Rashid alright. I have just been looking at new pictures of him posted on his website. He looks a bit bleary eyed in these pictures today. Either its very early in the morning, or he has a cold or Ramadan is getting to him !

Actually, I've tried this site:/www.elhassan.org, the one you provided didn't work so I did a search and got this site as a result.
I attached the picture, Masha Allah he really looks nice and handsomethough I can see that his lips are turning a bit purplish from smoking :(
There are 2 more pictures in his bio of him playing polo http://www.elhassan.org/reg/family/rashid.html
I think it’s incredible that he went to Pakistan to help, he did go to several countries but I guess this time is different because of him being half Pakistani. I couldn’t have been prouder of him.

Condolences to the Pakistani members here in TRF and to the Pakistani and the people who got damaged from the earthquake.
