Prince Hussein is a crown prince in Jordan

Analysts said yesterday that the sudden decision taken by King Abdullah II of Jordan to exempt his ( half brother) from the post of the crown prince is a constitutional decision which means that the son of the King who is ten years old will be the legal crown prince. The analysts added that the decision taken by the king to remove prince Hamzeh ( 24 year old) surprised Jordanian political circles.

However, on Monday, prince Hamzeh Bin al-Hussein said he abides by the will of his ( half brother) King Abdullah and announced "Loyalty and obediency to him" in a message sent to him.
