from Queen Rania recent
interview with Hello:
Do you tell your eldest son Hussein that he might be King one day?
"I think that to tell a boy of Hussein's age that he might become
King one day is almost a form of child abuse because it is setting
him up for so much pressure and expectation when he is so young and
should bee living a child's life. It's really important for me that
he lives as normal a life as possible and that he forms normal
relationships with people who will like him for himself and not for
who he may or may not become.
"My husband is a good example of someone who grew up not expecting
to be King – it made him a real person with whom people can relate."
Last November, your husband decided to relieve his younger brother
Hamzah of the title of Crown Prince. Was this to pave the way so
that your son Hussein can succeed him?
"Prince Hamzah is a highly accomplished young man. My husband and I
hold him in the highest regard. His father, King Hussein, realised
that it is only the person who is in the position of King that can
decide who will be the best successor because it depends on the
circumstances and the climate at the time. My husband wanted to do
the right thing and keep it open for whoever is best to do the job.
I think each one of his brothers and hopefully his son have their
own contributions to make to Jordan and, when the time is right, he
will make the right decision."
