His father was King Hussein of Jordan and his mother was Antoinette ("Toni") Avril Gardiner, a British woman. His father named him Crown Prince on 24 January 1999 shortly before he died on 7th February the same year. King Abdullah II assumed his constitutional powers as Monarch of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan the day his father passed away.
