Who is Crown Prince Hussain bin Abdullah?

 Do you know who Crown Prince Hussain bin Abdullah is?

      Prince Hussain was born on June 28, 1994 in Amman, the capital of Jordan. He is the eldest son of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania. He has one brother, Prince Hashim, and two sisters, Iman and Salma.


        Prince Hussain completed his primary education at King's Academy in Jordan in 2012, after which he received his degree in international history from Georgetown University in the United States in 2016.

       In 2017, he graduated from the Royal Military Academy, the same academy from which his father King Abdullah II and his grandfather King Hussein bin Talal graduated. And now he holds the rank of captain in the Jordanian armed forces.

       Prince Hussain was named Crown Prince on 2 July 2009.

      During the past few years, Prince Hussain has been traveling with his father in Jordan and abroad. The fact is that he was seen with his father in many official and military functions from a young age.

      The former crown prince of Jordan, Hamza bin Hussein, resigned from the royal title due to 'personal beliefs'.

      According to Jordan's constitution, the crown prince's mandate is not tied to a political role. After being named crown prince in 2009, Prince Hussein made his first official public appearance in June 2010 when he represented his father at events in Jordan marking the anniversary of the Great Arab Revolt and the armed forces.

      Thereafter, Prince Hussain was frequently seen representing the King on official and business visits to Jordan.

      On 22 September 2017, Prince Hussein chaired a meeting of the United Nations Security Council at the age of 20, becoming the youngest person ever to chair a Security Council meeting.


       In 2015, Prince Hussain founded the Crown Prince Foundation through which he initiated many initiatives. Its aim was to provide support for the development of Jordanian youth in information technology, tourism and other important sectors.

      The foundation's most prominent initiative was to provide Jordanian youth with rare training opportunities at the American space agency NASA. As a result of this training and support, Jordan launched its first satellite (JY1-SAT) into space in 2018.
