Sucession Of The Jordanian Throne?

[Victoria]

I'm a little confused, King Abdullah is the King of Jordan and his brother is the crown Prince, could someone please explain the sucession of the Jordanian throne?

The rule is: Jordanian Kings change their mind at any time on whom ever they want to succeed them even if a prince is promised to be a future king. Nothing is sure in that country...

In Morocco for example, it is much clearer and you know ahead of time who is in the line to succeed the king. It usually goes to the eldest son and the eldest son once married and becomes a king, it goes to his eldest son and so on..But there are back ups in case something happenes..

Now, we have M6 as a king, his son who is only 1 year is crown prince.
My Rashid, M6's brother, has right to the throne but comes after the crown prince (the baby). Even Moulay Hisham, the king's cousin has right to the throne, but with slim chances as before him & for the time being, there is my Rashid and current baby crown prince..

In Jordan:

The current crown prince is the King's brother...

When King Husseing was alive, his brother Hassan was the crown prince until he changed him in the favor of his son, KA and with the promise that the crown prince will be KA' s half brother. This change happened before king Hussein died and there are stories about this change (complot against Prince Hassan and so on).

Now, there has been a discussion in LTR forum about who will succeed KA...Some says he should keep his promise and leaves his brother as a crown prince. others says it will be normal if he puts his son instead of his brother...
So, it depends on KA's mood, surrounding people and situations (political and so on)

Hamzeh won't be CP when Hussein gets to be a little older.
