As The King and Queen of Norway will host a ”return event” there will definitely be a reception hosted by the King and Queen of Jordan before that.

It's a weird combination all around. The queens in long dresses, the kings in business suits and the crown prince in traditional dress.

I believe under King Abdullah Jordan doesn't do State Banquets in white tie, with grand jewels. What we saw is "standard", let us say.

I like the emerald suite of Queen Sonja. I read somewhere it was a gift from a royal in the Middle East. It was first used in 2002.

It disturbs me a bit that the Crown Prince dresses alike an Arab Sheikh. Jordan is the Middle East, not a country on the Arabic peninsula. Jordan has, alike Turkey, Lebanon and Israel, always tried to be a Western oriented country. I hope the Crown Prince does not model himself to his Saudi colleague. I really does not understand this Arab appearance. Is the Crown Prince sending a message?

What Crown Prince Hussein is wearing is a typical Jordanian national costume that it's not uncommon to see Jordanian men wear on special occasions. I like that he decided to wear it to show of the heritage of his country.

The traditional Jordan clothing usually has a white thobe (King Abdullah usually wears a suit) and a red keffiyeh as striking feature (which King Abdullah also wears in combination with a suit).
That keffiyeh is so widely known, it has become a sort of Jordan icon:
The Crown Prince however was optically dressed in Saudi style, for a Norwegian visit.
Usually we see him dressed like this:
Hussein
The two brothers
The King inspects his guard
The King welcomes the Emir of Qatar
The Crown Prince yesterday
I thought it was a remarkable choice of someone who uses to dress Western, to not even use the traditional Jordanian keffiyeh but go straight for an attire fit for a Saudi royal palace.

from Wikipedia:
A bisht or mishlaḥ is a traditional men’s cloak popular in the Arab world... It is a status garment, associated with royalty, religious position, wealth, and ceremonial occasions. A bisht is usually worn for prestige on special occasions...

Is the Crown Prince more of a traditionalist than his father ? Is he also a more devout Muslim ?

That is what confused me when I saw his very traditional attire because so far he has a quite Western profile, like his parents. That he took this for the Norwegians is pretty surprising.
