four times and was considered a ladies man Hussein was declared King when he was only 16 years old he soon married his third cousin with whom he had a daughter Princess Alia however it was a marriage of convenience which soon broke up the young king fell in love with British girl Tony Gardner and declared her Princess Muna in this marriage they had four children including their oldest son Abdullah II the current king of Jordan there were also two more marriages in the life of King Hussein for the third time he married the daughter of an Egyptian Diplomat Alia tukan they had three children however after the tragic death of his wife King Hussein married for the fourth time to an American listener Jim halabi who received the royal title and is known to everyone today as Queen nor it was the king's most prolonged and happiest marriage and the couple raised four children King Hussein also had an illegitimate son Timothy from a relationship with American actress Susan Cabot for many years they were provided from the budget of the Jordanian royal family however their story ended tragically in 1986 Timothy who had mental problems killed his mother and was imprisoned he also passed away in 2003. as you can see King Hussein officially had 12 children from four wives according to Royal rules the throne is passed through the male line from father to son however King Hussein intended to transfer power to his brother Hassan it was assumed that his oldest son Abdullah would continue to build a military career this was especially advantageous for the king's last wife Queen Noor who always dreamed that her oldest son Prince Hamza would become the heir to the throne after Hassan she wanted to receive all power in the country and perhaps she would have achieved her goal if the king had lived even longer Prince Hamza was a favorite of Jordan's previous monarch king Hussein who often described him as the Delight of my eye however Hamza was considered too young and inexperienced to be named successor therefore before he died in 1999 the king gave Hamza only the title of Crown Prince and appointed his oldest son Abdullah as the main successor the king made this decision because he was disappointed in his brother and decided to remove him from the throne Abdullah II probably considered his half-brother Hamza a threat when he took Power by then he was already married to Rania and wanted to make his oldest son Prince Hussein the successor therefore in 2004 King Abdullah II deprived his half-brother Hamza of the title of Crown Prince overriding the dying wish of their late father King Hussein 24 year old Prince Hamza was relieved of his symbolic duties in a letter from the monarch it would allow you more freedom to work in any task I assigned to you the king's letter said Prince Hamza supported his brother's decision he said he would stand by King Abdullah as a faithful Soldier and a devoted supporter out of my loyalty love and obedience however there was a lot of anger behind the kind words Queen Noor and her son Prince Hamza were losing their power in Jordan so their discontent grew every year Prince Hamza began to criticize the authorities in Jordan openly he specifically decried the State of Affairs in the Kingdom including widespread corruption governmental incompetence and the increasing tendency to silence critics even a hashemite prince jordanian's well-being has been put second by a ruling system that has decided that its personal interests Financial interests that its corruption is more important than the lives and dignity and future of the 10 million people who live here said the prince it must be admitted that Prince Hamza was similar to his father and enjoyed excellent support from many Jordanian tribes of course he was a significant threat to King Abdullah II and his family as a result in 2021 Prince Hamza and 15 other alleged conspirators were arrested authorities said they had foiled a plot in which Hamza colluded with unnamed foreign entities to the stabilize Jordan the prince denied the claims and dismissed the arrest sweep as a bid to silence growing criticism of government corruption I'm not part of any conspiracy or nefarious organization or foreign-backed group as is always the claim here for anyone who speaks out the prince said Prince Hamza also said he was placed under house arrest deprived of the internet and telephone lines and prohibited from engaging in political activity this event became a big Scandal all over the world nobody expected this in Jordan which was considered the most stable region in the Middle East the rulers of different countries immediately expressed their support for King Abdullah and he in turn passed a law that prohibited any mention of these events related to his half-brother and the alleged coup Prince Hamza had pledged loyalty to the King two days after his house arrest began also his mother queenor tried interceding for him stating that her son's accusations of an attempted coup were slanderous praying that truth and justice will prevail for all the innocent victims of this Civic slander quinoa wrote on Twitter God bless and keep them safe however Hamza remained under house arrest where he is still and a year after his arrest he publicly renounced his royal title stating his personal convictions were not in line with the approaches trans and modern methods of our institutions months earlier he had reportedly apologized to the king in letter wishing to turn the page of this chapter in our countries and our family's history in May 2022 the king formally announced that Hamza had been put under house arrest and his Communications and movements were limited due to his erratic behavior and aspirations interesting fact the same year that former Prince Hamza was arrested the press released the secret financial documents dubbed the Pandora papers that indicated that King Abdullah and his family had spent about 100 million dollars on a property Empire in the UK and the U.S they included houses in Malibu London and Ascot in the UK according to the BBC since the king came to power in 1999 he has used a network of secret firms to buy 15 houses lawyers for King Abdullah said he used his personal wealth to buy the homes and there was nothing improper about him using offshore firms for example in 2014 Nabisco Holdings sa bought a 33.5 million dollars luxury home on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu California Sir Anthony Hopkins Julia Roberts Simon Cowell Gwyneth Paltrow and Barbara Streisand lived in the area houses on both sides of the site were also purchased according to the Washington Post the middle one contains seven bedrooms 9 baths a gym a cinema and a swimming pool as a result

estate not only in Malibu Eight houses were in London and the south east of England they included six houses on some of the capital's most exclusive streets in Kensington and Belgravia there were also two houses in Ascot Surrey he also purchased the four flats in Georgetown Washington DC the most outrageous thing about this is that Jordan receives much International assistance from the US and the UK over the past decades Jordan has received billions of dollars from other states at the same time the economic difficulties and discontent of citizens continue to grow in the country lawyers for King Abdullah said the information about his properties needed to be more accurate and current they said all this overseas properties were bought with his personal wealth which he also uses to fund projects for Jordan's citizens they added the offshore structures were not used to hide the king's wealth according to them high profile people usually buy real estate through such firms for privacy and security purposes in 2022 another information leak occurred created to Sleek revealed that Abdullah owned the secret accounts including one whose balance exceeded 224 million dollars in response the Royal Court stated that the money came from selling an Airbus 340 aircraft that belonged to the King's father and that it was replaced with a smaller less costly Gulf Stream aircraft without mentioning the league Abdullah said there is nothing I have to hide from anyone but we are stronger than this and this is not the first time people Target Jordan over time everyone forgot about this
