The Royal Family

His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein assumed his constitutional powers as King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on February 7th, 1999, the day his father, the late King Hussein, passed away.

Since his ascension to the throne, His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein is committed to building on the late King’s legacy to further institutionalize democratic and political pluralism in Jordan.
He has made extensive efforts towards ensuring sustainable levels of economic growth and social development; aimed at improving the standard of living of all Jordanians.

His Majesty has devoted himself to serving Jordan and its people, and working towards peace and prosperity in the region.

Hussein was proclaimed King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on August 11, 1952. A Regency Council was appointed until King Hussein’s formal accession to the throne on May 2, 1953, when he assumed his constitutional powers after reaching the age of eighteen, according to the Islamic calendar.

Throughout his long and eventful reign, King Hussein worked hard at building his country and raising the living standard of every Jordanian. Early on, King Hussein concentrated on building an economic and industrial infrastructure that would complement and enhance the advances he wanted to achieve in the quality of life of his people. During the 1960s, Jordan’s main industries – including phosphate, potash, and cement – were developed, and a network of highways was built throughout the kingdom.

His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein married Queen Rania on June 10th, 1993. The Royal Couple has two sons – Prince Hussein, born on June 28th, 1994, and Prince Hashem, born on January 30th 2005 – and two daughters – Princess Iman, born on September 27th, 1996, and Princess Salma, born on September 26th, 2000. The King has four brothers and seven sisters.
