The Jordanian line of succession

With the birth of Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa’s first child, we look at the Jordanian line of succession.

Jordan only allows men to inherit the throne and no females are in the line of succession. As such, the newborn Princess Iman is not in the line of succession.

The baby’s aunts, Princesses Iman and Salma, are also not in the line of succession.

The current line of succession to succeed King Abdullah II is as follows:

1. Crown Prince Hussein (eldest son of the King)
2. Prince Hashem (second son of the King)
3. Prince Faisal (brother of the King)
4. Prince Omar (nephew of the King)
5. Prince Abdullah (nephew of the King)
6. Prince Muhammad (nephew of the King)
7. Prince Ali (brother of the King)
8. Prince Abdullah (nephew of the King)
9. Hamzah (brother of the King who renounced his princely title)
10. Prince Hussein (nephew of the King)
11. Prince Muhammad (nephew of the King)
12. Prince Hashim (brother of the King)
13. Prince Hussein Haidara (nephew of the King)
14. Prince Mohammad Al Hassan (nephew of the King)
15. Prince Talal (first cousin of the King)
16. Prince Hussein (first cousin once removed of the King)
17. Prince Muhammad (first cousin once removed of the King)
18. Prince Ghazi (first cousin of the King)
19. Prince Abdullah (first cousin once removed of the King)

In total, there are 41 men in the line of succession.
