Queen Noor's beauty, both inside and out, continues to inspire and leave a lasting impression on people from all walks of life.
Queen Noor has a history of being a good Queen and nobody can erase that. Queen Noor has grace.❤
I advice Queen Noor to give her life to Jesus Christ now. By now she should know that all is vanity and vexation of Spirit.
And Jordanians love her a lot ❤

There lies the "RUB". Being the last wife and the happiest marriage the King EVER HAD. Is going to be problematic. This is what Princess 👑 Diana would have faced had she not bern murdered. It's one thing to be beloved in your home country. But to be beloved WORLDWIDE puts you in RARE STRATIFICATION. Who can compete with the hearts of the whole world 🤔🤨😮.
Didn't Queen Noor Tweet and display a poster in support of Iran in the nuclear deal along with Hollywood celebrities ?
How does that make her a good queen?
I met Queen Noor in 2000. She was an incredibly nice and kind woman. Very gracious.
Queen Noor is incredibly beautiful and gracious
@osama omar 👎👎👎👎👎👎
Queen Noor is a lovely and sweet queen always. Her dedication, love, and transparency towards her family, and country are impressive.
I did not know there was so much friction between the 2 families. It is a pity. Queen Noor is a classy and beautiful woman and I hope one day she is able to return to Jordan and be united with her children and grandchildren.
Queen Noor is total class and grace
ugly old man gets this kind of beauty.
AGREE
Agree
Greatly Agree !
So true
Sad that there is rivalry and no family values when it comes to Royalty. It seems cruelty overtakes everything as it is all about the Crown.
How long will Jordan's bully king, Abdullah II, continue to detain his brother Prince Hamzah? #FreeHamzah
Charmaine85122 Indeed.
Sounds familiar.
Queen Noor is a remarkable, intelligent, poised, and beautiful woman, I wish her all the best!
Queen Noor can not be expected to blandly accept the arrest and detention of her own son -- by his half brother, the son of Princess Muna! SMH.
I don't know much about their work but I can say Queen Noor have Charisma, Grace and originality ❤️
@osama omar Oh please, STOP! This video has zero to do with religion. Take it somewhere else!
I remember when Queen Noor and King Hussain married. What a world event it was. It was when I first got interested in royalty. And I watched this wedding with much interest. And was wondering where she was. Unfortunately this is what happens with too many wives and too many children.
I wondered why Queen Noor was absent, as well.
I wondered about this absence, too.
Does anyone really think any of Noors children think they are entitled to the throne. I don't.
I was wondering the same!
Her husband had promised her that their son would be King after him. But 2 years before he died he announced that his first born son would inherit the thrown. I'm sure if he had not made this announcement Queen Nor and all her children very lives would be in jeopardy. His oldest son is the rightful heir in my opinion. Nor's son .....in my opinion.....is still in jeopardy.
Queen Noor. A simple girl who grew into a fabulous, gracious Queen & humanitarian. Her husband adored her. She was definitely the love of his life.
She doesn,t speak Arabic
Queen Noor is a beauty throughout the world.
Ustedes no utilizan el cerebro para entender ni analizar, solo ven belleza. Que mal estamos...
Queen Noor's beauty, both inside and out, continues to inspire and leave a lasting impression on people from all walks of life.
I met Queen Noor i2001 in Jordan, she is such a nice und polite person.
It is sad that King Hussein did not secure the safety and status of the heir who he had with Queen Noor.
سلام این علی حضرت ملک حسین بوده پادشاه اردنو عاشقم بودا من خیلی چهرشو دوست دارم فیلم شدیدا با موتور خانم دوست دخترشه با موتور خیلی خوش اخلاق بوده خدا رحمتش کنه زمان شاه خیلی اسمش تو زبان زده ایرانیا بود❤ هرجا میرفتیم اسمش بود ایرانیهای زمان شاه خیلی دوستش داشتن
Thank you you are the only channel that has addressed this situation
Now you are trying to create strife in Jordan, while you should focus on their joy at the marriage of the Crown Prince. What is your purpose in that? I am sure that you do not care about Nour. You are only trying to create strife.
I agree.
I take credit for asking the other day. 😊
QUEEN NOOR
More than a year ago, King Abdullah had his half-brother Hamzah (Queen Noor's eldest son) arrested and detained. And Abdullah refuses, still, to release Hamzah even though Hamzah relinquished the title of Crown Prince, the title that King Hussein gave to Hamzah. Plainly, Abdullah is a criminal, as well as a petty, vindictive, insecure tyrant. Despite Jordan's vast wealth, Abdullah allows the people of Jordan to live in abject poverty. This is the condition that Hamzah had spoken against publicly prior to Abdullah having him arrested. It's been many months, by now, since Hamzah was even seen in public. I pray for Hamzah's safety and protection, and I pray for his dear mother, Queen Noor.
The UK, Denmark, Jordan, Monaco, Japan, Royal families have issues like the rest of us. I was surprised she was not there either. Very sad.
After Hamzeh was put on house arrest, I figured not all was right in the Jordanian Royal Family. I would have been more surprised if Noor HAD been at the wedding!
😢😢😢
Nothing to be surprised at as we don't know what's going on in the privacy of the royal palace.
But publicly it's known that one of her son Prince Hamzah was put under house arrest due to evil plan & uprising to overthrow the heir to the throne.
If the late King Hussein has officially appointed & crowned his heir, what & who causes the rift & disharmony.
As in any human family be it royal or common, there's bound to be friction with black sheeps of the fmlys.
@@annehersey9895 Yep agree 💯. Well said!👌🏼
"have issues like the rest of us."
I don’t know about you but personally do not own a palace in another country that I could run to if I risk jail in my country for not paying my debt when the company I work in goes bankrupt
Queen Noor is the best ,she’s a hard working queen & & dedicated her life & her time for the Jordanian people.They should respect & honor her.
AND the people of Jordan should respect and honor Queen Noor's children, including her eldest son, who remains under arrest, by his own half brother, the current king of Jordan.
What a weak-and-insecure king he surely is, to arrest and detain his own brother as he has done. SMH.
@@22Too Finally someone who tells the truth! the jordan royals are evill! King Abdullah is a traitor and his traitor family .i hope that he will his brother who is the real king free ( its just like the movie the man behind the iron mask all those arabs royals are traitors from Morocco to Saudi Arabia i hate them all.
Ma non è americana? Per favore.... il figlio è la madre Noor non dovevano tremare contro il loro parente consanguineo... hanno fatto bene ad allontanarli ... si raccoglie quello che si semina.... traditori...
This is insane! I met Queen Noor in 1990. She was graceful, charming, very polite and kind and outgoing. She's lovely. I am shocked to see her so harshly sidelined! She would be an asset and a diplomat in any situation.
Hasn't it crossed your mind that she wasn't anxious to attend the wedding 😉 ?
You were asking who we preferred as à Queen : I chose RANIA : far more than any other Queen, far more than Noor,Kate, and so on...not pnly because her beauté is astounding,but because everyone can see deep down het heart and see who she really is
.and she is a wonderful person
@osama omar 👎👎👎👎👎👎
@@danielebohu8329 You can see "deep down her heart", a person you have never met, spoke to, being content with reading about her and watching videos 😄 ? That must be what is called Internet open heart surgery 😈 ...
@osamaomar-gh8sp ?
The current king was the late king's choice. Everyone needs to accept it.
It's not as if the late king chose a stranger. He chose his first born son to succeed him. Get on with the program.
I think that it is because they arrested her son, that queen Noor is upset.
Stop commenting if you know nothing. Hamzah was crown prince on king Husseins orders. Hassan refused to make hamzah crown prince that's why Abdullah was made king on the promise hamzah will be king when he is done with school.
@@Oba7have you heard the expression: “the king is dead! Long live the king!”? Basically the king IS Abdullah, and he chose his son to be crown prince and heir. And thats it. The brother seeking a coup is a betrayal to his brother and to his country, house arrest is to mild IMO.
Absolutely agree 👍🏻
This explains her absence at the recent royal wedding! I was hoping she would be there, she is amazing.
WHAT MOTHER would attend any event sponsored by the tyrant who is holding her son under arrest?! More than a year ago, King Abdullah had his half-brother Hamzah bin Hussein arrested. And King Abdullah continues, still, to detain Hamzah, even after Hamzah has relinquished the Crown Prince title that King Hussein gave to Hamzah. And it's been many months, now, since Hamzah has even been seen publicly. Therefore, I pray for his safety, and I pray for his dear mother, Queen Noor.
In terms of seniority (and logic), Queen Noor's son shouldn't be crown prince unless King Abdullah II has no children of his own. What is there to wrangle and be unhappy about? Case close.
Very true.
Makes sense
Why so hostile? Queen Noor is very decent lady and served Jordan all her married life. It is natural for her to stand by her son. And I can imagine Queen Rania never treated her well, so Queen Noor had all the reasons to be unsupportive of the royal couple.
@@farashka1980that is the reason why you should marry only once so that theirs no bad blood at the end of the day.
Noor knew when she married, her children would not inherent major positions.
I like them both. Queen Noor, as 4th wife of the King and mother of 4th family, was always going to face this.True through time for many women & children.
Queen Noor was "always going to face" King Abdullah arresting her eldest son Hamzah bin Hussein? More than a year ago, King Abdullah had his half-brother Hamzah arrested and detained. And Abdullah refuses, still, to release Hamzah even though Hamzah relinquished the title of Crown Prince, the title that King Hussein gave to Hamzah. Plainly, Abdullah is a criminal, as well as a petty, vindictive, insecure tyrant. Despite Jordan's vast wealth, Abdullah allows the people of Jordan to live in abject poverty.

Team Queen Noor!God bless her and protect her family!Love from Africa
Queen Noor has a long history of loyalty, kindness and service.
queen Noor .... absolutely amazing woman every which way ... i personally have always been a huge admirer and so do millions of professionals here in the US. i don't know the other members of the royal family of Jordan . in any event > each and every person is unique and not comparable in this world . this is the right philosphy . i extend warmest regards to queen Noor .. sincerely yours,
They're both lovely women. However, they are Queen consorts (not Queen Monarchs). They're time as a queen lasts so long as their husbands are alive. When the previous King, Noor's husband, passed, she would have stopped being the queen at that point. That makes the current King's wife, Rania, the legitimate and current Queen consort of Jordan. Noor is not a monsrch, so she needs to understand and accept this fact and step back. Again, despite how lovely she is. It's surprising that this has been an issue.
But that’s normal. She’s a Dowager Queen now. Queen Sofia of Spain is still called Queen even though her husband abdicated and her son the King has a wife, Queen Laetizia. In the UK the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was the widowed mother of the late Elizabeth II. Only if you divorce the king do you stop being Queen. But still, Noor probably should have deferred more to her daughter-in-law as the reigning Queen Consort. I can’t say I have any insight into the situation between Noon’s son and the current King. I doubt anyone outside of the country really does. But King Hussein wanted Hamzah to succeed Abdullah, so of course it’s a disappointment for them.
Queen Noor is the Queen Mother, much like when Queen Elizabeth II assumed the throne from her late father, her mother, Elizabeth, the Queen Consort, became the Queen Mother. Charles is now King Charles, and his second wife Camilla is the Queen Consort, and when Charles dies, she will be the Queen Mother (like it or not), while Princess Catherine will be the new Queen Consort. Diana was forced to give up that future right as Queen Consort when she and Charles divorced. Abdulla/Hamzah = William/Harry - the heir and the spare fighting; that's another story in itself. Noor was being a concerned mother for her children, especially where her eldest son was concerned. She and her husband had a great marriage and treated each other with respect. People have to remember that she lived in a country where women are considered second-class citizens and had to deal with children from previous marriages. She fought to change the status of women, and it paved the way for Raina. The feud boils down to the brothers, both having different visions for Jordan, traditional (Abdullah) vs. progressive (Hamzah). people shouldn't blame Noor for all of this, she and Raina are strong women, and instead of fighting, both women should band together to bring changes to Jordan, and restore family unity. To read people saying that Noor doesn't want to give up being Queen is silly, she is the Queen Mother, that should at least bring respect as an elder statesperson and ambassador.
@@tammylewis2408 The Queen Mother is the mother of the monarch. Noor is not Abdullah’s mother, but his stepmother. She’s a Dowager Queen, the widow of a previous monarch. In the unlikely event that Camilla outlives Charles (she is older than he is; her parents died younger than his did; and she’s in poorer health than he is-so I wouldn’t assume she’ll outlive him) she would also become Dowager Queen. She is not William’s mother and I can’t imagine that William would allow her to be called that. (Or that she would even want to be called that. She has children, and William is not one of them.) All of these titles are Courtesy Titles, not governed by any statute, so William would absolutely have a say.
@@tammylewis2408 Queen Noor is not the Queen Mother.
Some interesting insights here, I appreciate the comments. Yes, Dowager Queen. My error... I've always found Noor to be an interesting woman, Rania as well.
So sad for Queen Noor.
Queen Noor has great personality with such graceness, beautiful queen..may Allah bless her and children.
I didn’t realise that he’d had so many wives. At least, they weren’t all at once! It’s a funny coincidence that the new bride is also an architect.
So many ? Look at Emirates royal families 😄 !
@osama omar If I see another comment of yours I will faint!!!

@@Jossianne19130👍👍👍
Muslim men can have 5 even all at once in my understanding, something that most western woman would have hard to understand 😅
I've been wondering why I didn't see her (Queen Noor) at the wedding. Interesting!
Same, same. When I think "Queen of Jordan" I still think of Queen Noor. It's ridiculous that Queen Rania saw her as a threat, she was a hard-working diplomat.
@@JetPackDino This is fictional; the author here is not a palace insider. I lived in Jordan for many years during Queen Noor and the King's marriage. Abdullah and Rania were busy with study overseas. It was Prince Hassan who was the Crown Prince and his wife Sarvath was seen as a threat to Queen Noor.
I do like and admire Queen Noor. I think she should be given the utmost respect as she was the wife of our beloved late King Hussein of Jordan.
Love Queen Noor. Always will.
I appreciate this explanation. I wondered about Queen Noor and was confused by her not present at the wedding. Family squabble is always difficult.
More than a year ago, Abdullah had his brother Hamzah -- Queen Noor's son -- arrested and detained, as Hamzah remains, still. What mother in Queen Noor's situaiton would attend any celebration sponsored by the despot who has kidnapped her son and continues to hold him? #RealityCheck
Thank you so much for your video. I was looking all over the internet to find out if Queen Noor was at the wedding because I hadn't seen her. I realized that there was some friction over the years, but did not know that it was this bad. Noor is a terrific Queen. She helped King Hussein in so many ways and helped Jordan so much. She is a remarkable woman and I am glad to see that she still continues her work abroad. Is her son still under house arrest?
Wikipedia says he is believed to still be under house arrest.
Hope not and that he understood the right of succesion!
@@Jossianne19130 it was the late king Hussein's wish for prince Hamza to be the second in the line, But Abdullah override his father's wish because Rania's influence over everything such a shrewd woman
@@buthainaf Then Abdullah did not follow his father's wishes!!! That is not good! It wasn't written?
@@buthainaf you could also say Noor influenced king Hussein to favor Hamzah. The child from the 4th marriage shouldn’t be heir, it makes no sense.
Thanks for that clear explanation. Sorry for Noor but it's logical that her oldest son is not to be hereditary in line as not being the first son of king Hussain
Hereditary line of succession does not apply in Jordan.
Exactly my thoughts as well how is it fair for the son of the last wife to be crown king.
@@almamoodley8996 the constitution states that the throne shall pass from eldest son to eldest son or the king can appoint one of his brothers. How does it not apply?
It’s totally different in the Middle East
Usually in ME the crown goes through the sons of a founder.... So if the founder of the country had 20 sons they inherit by order of age so it goes from (half) brother to (half) brother. After all the sons are done it's by appointment. Usually a son of the last king but could be any prince. But it could also go from father to son from the start, but no need to be the oldest son. There is no clear rule like in Europe and polygamy makes the choices unlimited. The middle east kingdoms are fresh kingdoms. So they usually have a polygamous founder and his 20 sons take presecedence over his 40 grandsons, but it varies. The late sultan of oman had no sons.
Changing who was next in line as Crown Prince has a precedent. King Hussein's brother Prince Hassan was Crown Prince from 1965 to 1999 even though King Husseiin had 6 sons. The king gave the title to his eldest son Prince Abdullah only three weeks before he died.
That's how ancient royalty did specially in Asia like China. When a king has so many kids from different wife, they protect the heir by make belief that the other son is more favored as the crown prince. King Hussien seem a smart King
It’s not make belief. The constitution requires that the mother be Arab. Hussein simply changed the constitution to his liking. J think he was hoping to live long enough so that Hamza is old and responsible enough, but he got cancer.
Am purely speculating, but it may be a choice according to merit. Perhaps king Hussein knew his son Abdullah was young and with a suitable spouse for the role, that would insure stability instead of frequent secessions to the thrown in a span of few years. He would definitely be more suitable than the the uncle Prince Hassan who is significantly older.
As it should be
It has been speculated that the Americans pressured king hussein before his death to make abdullah King since hamza was still very young.
Whatever the reason, I will say the majority of Jordanians were not happy with the decision. King abdullah took over and he couldn't speak Arabic very well. It was embarrassing 😳
Queen Noor was a patron at my son's school, Waterford Kambhala, in Eswatini, Africa. It was always impossible for her children to be in succession to the throne.
*She was the kings 4th wife*
Not really impossible because the line of succession in some arab kingdoms are from elder son to his younger brothers as it was since the creation of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, same for jordan as it was supposed that the brother of king Hussein who takes the throne after him but Hussein did remplace him with his eldest son Abdel allah 15 day before he dies and after Abdel allah took the throne neither Queen Noor or her son Hamza thought that prince Hussein will be the crown prince since he was a child
@@kwahab7095
Thanks for this information.
@@brisalaafricana-py8ee you're welcome
Exactly. And she wasn't his greatest love but Queen Alia. She was an old man's young chick and easily manipulated by her. Considering she is still stomping around with the title Queen instead of Ex Queen or Dowager Queen shows that she is the problem.
@@Tellthetruth0
Lol...she never had any power.
Oh my God iv learned a lot from this channel, new subscriber here, uh i like Queen Noor
King Abdullah had the right of the firstborn whether Noor likes it or not. Noor knew when she married Husain that the throne already had a successor. It is interesting that Noor's other children have no problem with their brother Abdullah II.
King Hussein designated his son Hamzah as Crown Prince, and Abdullah, more than a year ago, kidnapped Hamzah and has held Hamzah under under arrest ever since then. I am certin that "Noor's other children," who you mention, are NOT OK with their brother Hamzah being detained, for more than a year already, by Abdullah. He refuses to release Hamzah even though Hamzah has relinquished the title of Crown Prince. Abdullah is a criminal.
Nur-Hashim's children and his sister were at the wedding
Queen Noor was and is beautiful. No one can take her place. And her sons are handsome and majestic.
Queen Noor ❤
Queen Noor is beautiful!
I like both women, I remember Queen Noor’s wedding to the King. I was so proud an American showed true grace in her role.
I love Queen Noor, maybe because we're close in age, but I always thought she was amazing to marry King Hussein and take the role of mother to his children and then have 4 more children with him. She's a very intelligent woman and I wish her well. I hope that the conflict with her son and the current King, will eventually be resolved. I think that she loves Jordan and it's sad that she no longer is able to live there. But I love seeing that she's still involved with what is close to her heart. (from Sandi)
It’s not love dear, it’s love for money and luxury.
Halamdillulah 😄😄😄
Actually, Princess Haya (who lost her mother) always said that the one who acted like a mother to her is Mouna and not Noor
The others had their mothers. The child who lost their mom would have been taken care of by a prior wife. Sounds like step mom issues. And since dad is dead she doesn’t need to be included. I am more interested if the daughters and sons went to the wedding being siblings. I do not know what the norm is when a man remarries there. Do the children from each mom spend time together? They would hear as long as still married.
@@ytaddict3749 that makes sense. The child would not sit on a shelf waiting for a mom until dad marries again. I hope the siblings all have a good relationship. Not that dad past the wives don’t need to be around each other.
Queen Noor reigns as the noblest dignified wise and honorable true queen. ❤
For 10 years Queen Noor had sponsored a countryman of mine to help Jordanian villages rehabilitate the deserts with permaculture into productive small farms to feed their families. I used to love seeing his videos of the progress they had made. I had wondered who he hadn't been to Jordan for a few years. No doubt anything that Noor proposed is now hated by the new royal family. My mother used to say what a wonderful Queen Noor was. I think Jordan will be worse off with this new royal family, by the look of them.
Queen Rania is a very smart lady and knows what she' s doing.The king is free to nominate whomever he wants And Noor should have remained impartial and not write stuff in the media so I think she is to blame
@@nadialouis9926 Abdullah should release his brother, Queen Noor's son, from the house arrest in which Abdullah has held him for several years already.
Look at what is happening now in the Arab world? Tough times call for tough action. Sad that despite all the good works that Queen Noor has done and to have her son's title being stripped and placed on house arrest, which mother could have accepted that? My respect to Queen Noor for her contributions to the Jordanian society, for her grace in handling difficult issues.
Both have their own sphere of influence and should carry on working as noble spirits.
Thanks for explaining this as I was wondering why Queen Noor was not there. It is truly sad that the two most beautiful queens do not get along as they are the glamourous faces of Jordan.
@harkeb What MOTHER would attend ANY EVENT sponsored by the tyrant who arrested her son and continues to detain her son, without any trial, over more than a year so far? Queen Noor's eldest son, Hamzah bin Hussein, was arrested in recent years by his half-brother King Abdullah, who continues to detain Hamzah, even though Hamzah has relinquished the Crown Prince title that King Hussein gave him. Meanwhile, considering that it's been many months since Hamzah has even been seen publicly, pls pray for his safety, and pray, too, for his dear mother, Queen Noor.
Really glad to see this video. I was wondering where Queen Noor was at the wedding. You gave a great explanation. I had no idea that was going on, although I did hear about prince who was on house arrest. She has beautiful children. I hope they are all happy. Better not to even be in Jordan, I think.
Queen Noor represented Jordan and the king well. She never put a wrong foot forward. All families have dramas. But this was a very public occasion. For them not to be able to put their differences aside, for the celebration and present a united front, speaks volume about them.
I didn't know that all of that was going on.
I do not think that King Abdullah is a vindictive person, but rather I think he is a realist, and knew that after Noor’s public attacks in the wake of Hamza’s house arrest, her presence at the wedding would take attention away from the bridal couple and mar an otherwise joyful occasion. Hamza’s brother and sisters, who unlike their mother have remained publicly neutral, were guests at the wedding along with their spouses.
Queen Noor should be referred as Dowage Queen. Queen Rainia is the queen as the wife of the ruling king. Same thing happening in Spain with Sofia and Queen Letizia.
@@valeriehopkins644but at least Queen Sofia didn’t try to sabotage Leonor position… specially since Sofia is the mother of king Felipe… also queen Sofia is a classy lady that would never go to twitter to send shade to anyone…
@@valeriehopkins644 Literally, you’re correct. But that’s basically only if referring to her without her name.
@@warribe Queen Noor is also a classy lady who deserves respect. And trying to free your son is not “casting shade.” Further, we don’t know what is really going on behind the scenes. If King Hussein wanted the heirs of the present king to inherit, he would have named them in his will. Of course it is the right of the incumbent king to name his own heirs. But as I said, we don’t know the ins and outs of the whole situation.
Had no idea that this was going on. Very sad. Queen Noor always had a good reputation. I hope history continues to view her in this light.

Definitely Queen Noor. A very lovely lady.
Queen Noor is beautiful inside out.
King Hussein was a great Ruler. He definitely would want his first Son to succeed him. Queen Noor was a great queen, but must now accept the new King & Queen - and their children next in line. The present King Abdullah, like his father, is a Great King. Blessings to everyone🙏
Houston, Tx
No king Hussein wanted hamzah but he was too young. So he asked Abdullah to be king until hamzah is of age to rule this was his will.
No he didn't want Abdullah to be king but he didn't have a choice. Abdullah was the only one that swore that hamzah would be the next king. He asked his brother Hassan to swear but he refused. King Hussein wanted hamzah to be the king.
Queen Rania needs her space to be who she is! Queen Noor is a lovely person but needs to step back and allow the new generation to flourish!
Beautiful family all in all ..

Just note that King Hussein pointed King Abdullah as his successor. Queen Noor was upset by this discission, but she could not change King Hussein's point of view.

First born thing
Queen Noor felt that she was married to king Hussein the longest, so her son should have succeed his father.
@@MsPoyeebut he’s not the firstborn. She should know how it works.
No that's not what happened. Abdullah became king on the promise that hamzah would be king when he is of age. King Abdullah lied to his father.
Thank you for this video. I was actually trying to see if the Queen Noor attended the wedding and ins and outs. Much appreciated!
What mother would attend any celebratrion sponsored by a tyrant who had her son arrested and who continues, more than a years since that arrest, to detain her son? King Abdullah' had his half-brother Hamzah bin Hussein arrested and refuses, still, to release Hamzah even though Hamzah relinquished the title of Crown Prince, the title that King Hussein gave to Hamzah. Unfortunately, but very plainly, Abdullah is a petty, vindictive, insecure tyrant. It's been many months, by now, since Hamzah was even seen in public. I pray for Hamzah's safety, and I pray for his dear mother, Queen Noor.
Queen Noor might be good ,intelligent etc but she was the 4th wife of the late king. I personally cannot see how her son will be the next king of Jordan when the late king had three wives before her and they all had children. I believe with time all the issues will be sorted and settled. She must realise that her role as a Queen ended when her husband passed away.
I wish her good luck for the future
It’s more complicated than that, it was the previous king’s wish for their son to be the Crown Prince.
Good explanation. I was curious as to why we didn't see Noor at the wedding.
I think the bad blood
started when the king
remarried and had a
son, then another son
with the new wife.
At the oldest son's wedding
Abdullah (later Abdullah ii)
his step-mother, Queen
Noor, felt slighted.
Most likely either Abdullah
and/or his own mother didn't
want her (Queen Noor) in the
family pictures
WHAT mother would attend any event sponsored by a despot who has held her son under arrest for more than a year so far? King Abdullah -- more than a year ago -- ordered the arrest and the indefinite (and still-ongoing) detention of his brother Hamzah bin Hussein, even after Hamzah relinquished the Crown Prince title that King Hussein had given to Hamzah. Meanwhile, considering that it's been many months since Hamzah has even been seen publicly, please pray with me for Hamzah's safety, and pray, as well, for his dear mother, Queen Noor.
Honor, respect and cherish the
Queen Noor, Light of Hussein Forever.
Queen Noor all the way. Class and beauty in one!
Queen Noor
Queen Noor is everybody's queen shes a queen of hearts❤❤❤ everyone loves her she is known to everybody. Because of her humanitarian works. WE LOVE YOU Queen NOOR you are the light of Jordan since the king married you.
we the people of Jordan love queen Rania , Queen noor is a white woman and a mail order bride
King Hussein and Queen Noor's second son prince Hashim, his wife and three daughters attended all the festivities surrounding prince Hussein's wedding at prominent frontline seats. There must be more to the story than two queens marking their territories... One of them belonging to the past, unfortunately for her.

Rubbish comment.
So just cos you belong to the pst,all your hardwork will be forgotten,nonsense.
I hope this type of thinking be your portion.
Big deal they will all have nice homes and unlimited credit cards.
I was wondering where Queen Noor was at the wedding. I didn’t know about her sons arrest. Troubling. However, Queen Noor deserves better treatment from the Jordanian King & Queen. Respect for your elders.
Prince Hamzah put out a You Tube short about his arrest. It went straight to my heart and I believe him.
Queen Noor will always be a queen.Her presence ,elegance tops Rania.
If Noor had controlled herself when Hamza was placed under house arrest, I think things might be different. However, she posted a tweet that, by implication, accused King Abdullah of perpetrating “wicked slander”. She later posted another tweet (both of these are quoted in the video) that clearly was intended as a negative comment about Abdullah’s treatment of Hamzah. Under the circumstances, her absence from the wedding makes sense.
@@christinejackson8542 I would like to hear it please..you have the link?
Yes, I agree
If anything, Queen Noor should be known as Dowager Queen. Not solely Queen. She's not the current queen on the throne.
I agree with you, but as current wife would their first born son be the King, or the Kings first born son? Historically it is always the first born son.
@@celest0000 true, but Queen noor should be known as Queen Dowager even though her son is not the king. So she will have different role/task from the Queen (king's wife).
@Mrs Din I agree with all the benefits and what an honour to be Queen Dowager. My confusion is, is the ex King's first born son from his first marriage the rightful new King, or the first born son from his last and existing marriage. Does it matter or not that he was still married at the time of his passing? I don't know how this works.
@@celest0000 normally for monarch the 1st born, but as it is a human law made, it can be change using or in the name of someone power, the reason is unknown, maybe because of someone interest/benefit ,greed and many more reason.
This is What i learned from Malaysian monarch.. there is King (Title name is Sultan) who were strips from throne and replace with his relatives by his own court, a king (sultan) who was stripped from crown prince, and reappointed back as crown prince before his father passed away.
So, it is all depends from the more powerful person in the country. But, most monarch the 1st born Male will take the crown.
@Mrs Din thank you, I'd imagine the first born son irrespective how may marriages there were then ofcourse the King could nominate his sucsessor and I guess there is politics too..
Queen Noor....
God bless Queen Noor
Both Queens were beautiful !
It escape to every logic, that Hamzad would be the crown prince, when king Abdullah has an older son. Queen Noor shouldn't be upset for that. She should act with intelligence and become a support to queen Rania, instead of trying to disturb the harmony and peace of them.
It was king's Hussein order, before he died, Hamzad to inherit Abdullah. King Abdullah had to respect his father's desission and not changed it without. any reason in 2004.!
@@mariadoukidou3290 It was his father's wish but Abdullah is King now and his wish is for his son to inherit the throne.
Why do you assume that it was Noor who caused problems and is trying to disturb the "harmony and peace"?
I like both Rania and Noor, but Noor must accept Abdullah's son as heir.
Rubbish comment,no wonder why it is edited
@@Kiki-en9vm what a silly, silly comment
This was arranged before Queen Raina even came into the picture, and you known darn well she made that happen for her son. So it is total BS that they have been pushed out this way. Queen Raina is a phony witch.
No mother, including Queen Noor, will accept her son being indefinitely detained by a vengeful tyrant, like King Abdullah II.
This was a deceit to late Father King Hussain who appointed Abdullah as the King instead of Hamza who later was appointed as the Crown Prince but later was replaced by Abdullah's eldest son
Everything is so sad . Jordan's royal family didn't want to see her, neither her children at the wedding? Sad indeed
Common sense would dictate that Queen Noor's children have zero claim to the throne given she is wife 3 or 4. I did not understand why her son had even the slightest pretentions to the crown??
Perhaps before his passing, King Hussein promised Queen Noor that her son would be king one day but ultimately he chose King Abdullah as his successor and Hamzah as Crown Prince.
However after King Abdullah came to power he had every right to change the Crown Prince role to his own first born son. It might be a little awkward and embarrassing for Queen Noor and Prince Hamzah, but they need to understand and respect his wishes.
Honestly being a Prince who won’t ever hold the burden of the crown is the best 😂 Why would you want all that pressure? You can be a rich member of royalty and relax. Just turn up for functions and don’t cause a problem and you’re all good
Spot on, but the problem is this-the lure of power and status is extremely difficult to resist the closer you get to it especially after having once tasted of it, then suddenly having it yanked away from you.
This scenario happens in most Royal families at least according to the history books.
The Jordanian Monarchy handled it well, house arrest and then presenting the new crown Prince IMHO.
@@vibrantwoman1323 yes you’re right- over history a power struggle over the crown is so common. Wars have been sieged over this greed.
House arrest was the kindest option! However perhaps exile is something to consider too
Both are lovely women and both want what’s best for their kids. Unfortunately when you have children with different mothers and the same fathers what do you think is going to happen??? Seems to me that this type of situation goes back thousands of years. Nothing new here.
The succession here is confusing. Maybe because so many wives?
❤
Queen Noor, while she was Queen, did an amazing job and she will continue to shine her light through her work and spirit, however, Queen Raina is the current Queen and even in a regular family, responsibilities are distributed according to the birth right as well as the integrity of the child, so in the same manner, King Abdullah was the rightful heir to the throne, by birthright as well as his integrity, which he has clearly demonstrated through his duties as the King of Jordan. To ask which Queen one likes more is irrelevant. They are both good women and good human rings their own way. ❤
Agree and though I greatly admire Queen Noor - her husband King Hussein made the decision to appoint his ex wife Princess Muna’s eldest son Abdullah to be the next King of Jordan. This likely was hurtful to her but she seemed to accept it. It seemed to be mainly her eldest son who in recent years along with support of some rebellious backers seemed to want to usurp the throne. Jordan needs to remain stable especially in that region. I hope that eventually the strained relationship between them all will be resolved as they are in the final analysis - family.
@@janeburton2557 I don't think that is what happened with Hamza. King Hussein rightfully made King Abdullah the heir, and then he made Hamza the Crown Prince. The problem happened when Abdullah changed that and named his son Crown Prince. I can certainly understand why Queen Noor and her son would be upset...she was after all she had the longest marriage to King Hussein, and I'm sure helped him raise Queen Alia's children. I don't care much for Rania.
It seems the BRF's way of doing things by hierarchy is the right and easiest way after all...hear that Harry?
@@dianad1968 With due respect - everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I knew about the Crown Prince title change - but assumed that as King - Abdullah had the right to make changes concerning these matters based on his knowledge of the situation. Personally I admire both Queen Noor and Queen Rania. They are and were both well-suited to their time and place in history. There have been sibling rivalries since time began eg the Biblical Cain and Abel plus India’s Mogul rulers and their brothers’ rivalries. Cheers!
@@dianad1968 "had the longest marriage" to King Hussein does not give Queen Noor the right to put her son- with three older brothers- on the throne. What about poor Queen Alia who tragically was killed at age 28, who my Jordanian friends often called the favorite wife? By the way, there were many nannies and housekeepers in the palace. I don't think that Haya and Ali think that Noor raised them.
@@janeburton2557 Dear Lord, where in my comment did I say or imply you didn't have a right to your opinion? You gave your opinion and I gave mine, which is different than yours...that's all it is. In the grand scheme of things, this doesn't affect my life, and I would hope it doesn't affect yours either, so stop being so dramatic.
QUEEN Noor, a goddess in my childhood, heroic how she stood up and took the title with the king of Jordan, heroic how she chose to live her life devoted to their children!
Thank you for this very interesting article!
I worked for their Majesties and her Majesty Queen Noor, is of noble spirit, she helped his majesty at a very difficult time in Middle East History,
He majesty King Hussein, was a peace maker. Her Majesty will be made of the same stuff. Jordan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. A place of peace prevails.
Her Majesty and His Majesty King Abdullah, should know that they are stronger together than on opposite sides. Both should reach out to each other.
His Majesty's legacy was not division but strength in being united.
Beautifully said! I also met Queen Noor when she received an award at the UN for her humanitarian efforts. I was struck by her intelligence and authenticity. I believe Prince Hamzah just wanted to help the people and called out Prince Abdullah on some of his corrupt behavior. Instead of facing up to it and rectifying it, he put his half brother under house arrest with no phone, visitors or access to internet. I saw the video where he explained everything before he was put under house arrest. He gave this video to his lawyer to disseminate. Did you see it?
Queen Noor is a lovely, kind, and elegant woman. Very respectful.
King Hussain had fewer wives than King Henry VIII. However, he had more children. A primo geniture system gave King Hussain's firstborn the succession and the fourth wife's eldest son was way down in line. However, the rules in Jordan were different. Until the very end of King Hussain's life, his younger brother was the Crown Prince. On his deathbed, the King changed the rule and made Abdulla, his firstborn, his Crown Prince and successor. It is recorded that Queen Noor tried her best to position her firstborn as successor but she lost the battle of succession. It is surprising that King Abdulla did not banish Queen Noor and her children as soon as he became King, and waited until a coup prompted his action to arrest his half-brother. The Dowager Queen still enjoys a comfortable life abroad. Actions have consequences.
It seems that King Abdullah wants throne inheritance in Jordan, to be more like the European monarchies. From father to son, not father to brother. Probably makes sense. I believe that Japan's throne is also inherited this way.
I am finding this hard to understand, what the succession process is. I guess things get complicated with so many wives.
Abdullah’s father inherited it from his father. I think the rule could be “whatever the king wants”.
No. Japanese monarchy only allow men to inherit the throne. Therefor the current emperor's daughter will not inherit. His brother is the current crown prince.
IMO - Most European monarchies now allow the first born in the line of succession regardless of sex. That is the way it should be. Women are equal to men in every way.
According to the Jordanian Constitution, the eldest son of the ruling King becomes the Crown Prince.
Queen Noor has elegance and grace so different from Jordan present Queen.
You think Rania lacks elegance? Maybe to a Texan!
Both Rania and Noor are beautiful, charismatic and elegant queens. Not easy to choose between them. The story behind their enmity is a classic one in monarchies : rivalry between two lines from two different mothers. Everyone could expect King Abdullah to name his own elder son Crown Prince.
Noor is gorgeous 👍🏻❤️ Rania has nothing to do with beauty
@@oliviadavid6520 Queen Alia has them both beat. She was the 💎 of the House of Hussein. Bar none.
May Queen Alia Rest In Peace and Rest In Power alongside King Hussein.❤❤❤
No. Abdullah wasn’t supposed to rule constitutionally because his mother was not Arab. Hussein twisted the constitution. No one expected that.
@@sunnyhill5119 Her daughter, Princess Haya, is simply gorgeous too
surely she is more beautiful queen Noor till this day people talk about her beauty so natural like princess Diana and queen Rania trying her best to keep herself under light .
Queen noor!❤️
Queen Noor is a lovely n nice Queen n been loved by lots , Queen Rania is is gorgeous queen n both r very respectful Queens . Like them both ❤❤❤
King Hussein could not have asked for a better queen than Noor al Hussein. But there is a 20 year difference between the households of Princess Muna (Abdullah's mother) and Queen Noor. It's not surprising that there is not a closeness. Naming someone heir and then changing it at the last minute is probably a safe way to go. What I want to know is why was Muna princess and Noor queen?
As a Jordanian, I know Jordanians love both Queen Noor and Queen Rania and the rest of the Royal family. However, it irks me whenever they make it sound like she came from the West and elevated the status of women and the status of Jordanians in general. Whenever they're a video of her in the West, they only have pictures and videos of her with rural women. Jordan has been in the forefront of Arab and Muslims countries when it comes to women's rights and advancement
As a Tunisian, I really disagree
You disagree with what? with me saying its not Queen Noor who elevated women's status? how do you know? I was living there and I had a university degree with thousands of other Jordanian women before she was queen @@Ary-mi8vo
I don’t have a favourite. However, by right the current king could appoint anyone as his heir, that’s his choice, his decision. After all he’s the ruler of Jordan.
What the vast majority of the posters don't understand is that the tradition in the Middle East is NOT that the eldest son of the current King becomes the next king, as is the case in the west. Often, instead, it is that the crown passes to the brother of the current King, usually a child of another mother. It is done to pacify the families which married into the royal household. Queen Noor's and her son's problem is that as an American she had no Jordanian family. That's why Abdullah felt he could get away with changing the custom.
But the president of the UAE changes the custom too. In Dubai it's the same thing. The rulers son. Just like Saudi Arabia so which middle East do you mean. Even king Hussein had a brother
Besides the brother in this case would have been Ali not noor's son. She turned queen Alia children against their father. She's not a saint
The late King chose his heir and deliberately the choice was not Noor’s son, Hamzah. Once King, he has every right to change the Crown Prince from Hamzah to his own son.
There’s no smoke without fire. If he was innocent then there would be no fear of any coups or nefarious means to seize power.
To me it’s ridiculous that she expects the son of the FOURTH wife to bypass all his elder half-brothers to be crowned king.
Exactly.Abdullah did not respect the instructions of his father
Thank you very much for that information about Mid-East customs. Based on this and on other comments here, it seems that there is a general movement toward the Western style of primogeniture, which, for all its faults, does ensure great stability. But the traditional customs, along with King Hussein's wish that Hamzah be Crown Prince, still hold weight. Thus the conflict.
Of course, Queen Noor...
Queen Noor is a very nice person n beautiful she must not be put aside by the crown king, princess Rania she must accept that woman as she was a queen to her husband father, it sad to see these kind of thing is happening in the Royal Monarchy,
Queen Noor - I feel sorry for how she was treated.
Hello
Queen Noor has grace and a sweet presence! Definitely a favorite and the Jordanian people will forever love her
Abdullah is the first son ,so its normal that he become heir,but Noor wanted his son to be the heir,and the king was so in love with noor that he did whatever she wanted,but in the dead bed he changed his wish.
That’s what i speculated. Hussein wanted to please her during his life. At the end, there was no more need and he betrayed his promise.
No king Abdullah swore to make hamzah the king. Hassan his brother was the crown prince but refused to make hamzah crown prince Abdullah agreed so he was made king at th last minute because hamzah was still in high school.
