About Hussein, Crown Prince of Jordan
Hussein bin Abdullah al-Hashimi (born 28 June 1994) is Crown Prince of Jordan as the eldest son of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania. He is a member of the House of Hashim, the royal family of Jordan since 1921, and is considered to be a 42nd-generation direct descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Hussein is currently a major in the Jordanian Armed Forces. He served as a regent on several occasions and has accompanied his father on a number of local and international visits. Hussein also represented Jordan at international forums including the United Nations Security Council, United Nations General Assembly, United Nations Climate Change Conference, and the World Economic Forum. He began his education in Jordan, and, in 2016, graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in International History. In 2015, at the age of 20, Hussein became the youngest person to chair a UN Security Council session. After graduating from Sandhurst in 2017, he made a global debut when he addressed the UN General Assembly in September of that year. Hussein is in charge of the Crown Prince Foundation, which is responsible for a technical university and a number of scientific and humanitarian initiatives. He also champions the National Council for Future Technology, a body dedicated to advancing Jordan's technological standing, and leads several initiatives to promote tourism and technical education and vocational training in Jordan. In 2023, he married Rajwa Al-Saif, with whom he has a daughter, Princess Iman. Though the title of crown prince was left vacant, the Constitution of Jordan provides for agnatic primogeniture: the monarch's eldest son is automatically first in the line of succession to the Jordanian throne unless decreed otherwise.
