General Questions about the Royal Family of Jordan

[Zonk]

Unfortunately, this article shows a bad aspect of Wikipedia. I love it because it has so much information at my fingertips...as someone who grew up with encylopedia...its great! The bad aspect is that anyone can write anything. There are so many factual errors in that brief bio (not to mention the spelling and grammatical errors) its crazy!

Who is the of the Princess Rjoh bint Ali ???

[Veram98]

Rjoh? Is it possible that you are speaking of Princess Rajwa bint Ali? She is the daughter of Prince Ali bin Nayef (the brother of Princess Noor's father) and of Princess Wijdan Ali.

Hi, I am researching the Jordanian Royals and came across the name of Leila Khader who I believe lives in London and was a long term friend of King Hussein...can anyone help with some background on Leila. I understand at one time she was considering writing her memoirs

Many thanks

Does Queen Noor speak and write Arabic fluently? In her memoirs, she did say that the King would come to take her for a walk when she had an Arab class scheduled. Did she manage to understand and speak the language of her country? I know that all her children are flunt in Classical Arabic.

Thanks

Yes Xavi. When Princess Alia was during her honeymoon in Spain she gave a interview a talked about her nanny. Too Alia traveled many times to Andalusia with her parents when she was a child.

Where can I find a list of all princes of Jordan (a list of all agnatic descendants of King Abdullah I of Jordan)? Thanks in advance.

[Veram98]

Maybe this site can help you, Kotroman

jordan3

[Kotroman]

Thanks for answering so quickly! The site provides lots of information, too much actually. I need only living male-line descendants of King Abdullah I (in other words, those who hold the title of Prince of Jordan).

There are lots of Princes of Jordan today and it's hard to keep track of all of them, so I'm not sure if I've missed birth of another prince(ss). The official websites do not provide those information and if they do, the information is outdated.

Also, has anyone else noticed that princes of Jordan tend to have far more daughters than sons? Out of 46 persons born into the royal family, only 19 are male!

[Veram98]

grand-sons of King Abdullah I:

(King Hussein bin Talal, died in 1999)
Mohammed bin Talal
Hassan bin Talal

Ali bin Nayef (Naif)
Asem bin Nayef


theirs sons:

Abdullah bin Hussein (King Abdullah II) (4 kids; sons: Hussein, Hashem)
Feisal bin Hussein (4 kids; son: Omar)
Ali bin Hussein (2 kids; son: Abdullah)
Hamzah bin Hussein (1 daughter)
Hashem bin Hussein (2 daughters)

Talal bin Mohammed (3 kids; sons: Hussein, Mohammed)
Ghazi bin Mohammed (3 kids; son: Abdullah)

Rashid bin Hassan

Mohammed al-Abbas bin Ali (3 kids; son: Hamzah al-Abbas)
Ja’afar bin Ali

Nayef bin Asem


Additionally there is H.H. Prince Hussein Mirza (eldest grand-son of the late King Hussein, the eldest son of this king’s first daughter Alia, named Prince by his grand-father)


And another Hashemite lineage in Jordan, the descendants of the younger half-brother of King Abdullah I (Zeid):

Ra’ad bin Zeid

and his 4 sons:
Zeid bin Ra’ad (Jordan’s Ambassador to the USA) (2 kids; son: Ra’ad)
Mir’ed bin Ra’ad (3 kids; sons: Rakan, Ja’afar)
Firas bin Ra’ad (2 daughters)
Feisal bin Ra’ad (2 daughters)

[Kotroman]

So, to get it straight (numbers indicate generations, only males listed because they have succession rights and because there are 19 males and 46 females):

King Abdullah I:

1.King Talal

2.King Hussein

3.King Abdullah II

4.Prince Hussein
4.Prince Hashem

3.Prince Faisal

4.Prince Omar

3.Prince Ali

4.Prince Abdullah

3.Prince Hamzah
3.Prince Hashim

2.Prince Muhammad

3.Prince Talal

4.Prince Hussein
4.Prince Muhammad

3.Prince Ghazi

4.Prince Abdullah

2.Prince El Hassan

3.Prince Rashid

1.Prince Nayef

2.Prince Asem

3.Prince Nayef

Did Prince Nayef have a son named Ali?

[Veram98]

Yes, as you can see in my list ("Ali bin Nayef (Naif)"), he is Nayef's elder son,
and he has two sons:

Mohammed al-Abbas bin Ali (3 kids; son: Hamzah al-Abbas)
Ja’afar bin Ali

thus it's:
2. Prince Ali

3. Prince Mohammed al-Abbas
4. Prince Hamzah al-Abbas

3. Prince Ja’afar

[Kotroman]

So, Prince Ali has two wives and he had a son when he was 66 years old?

[Veram98]

Yes, but he divorced his first wife: Princess Wijdan who is now Jordan's ambassador to Italy (and is a renowned artist and art historian; she is a cousin of the late King Hussein).

Veram do you know when Feisal bin Ra’ad married?
