At the end of 1998, the old King hussein of Jordan fell ill with cancer.
Lying on his hospital bed, he was very relieved that the queen, who was 16 years younger than himself, and the son the queen had be born to him.
So he called his eldest son Abdullah to the bed and asked him to make his younger brother Hamza crown prince. You know, Abdullah already had a 5-year-old son at that time!
However, looking at his elderly father who was seriously ill, Abdullah was not able to refuse directly.
In this way, Hamza bypassed his nephew and became the emperor's brother- In January 1999, Hussein died and Abdullah ascended the throne as Abdullah II, and his wife followed suit as the new Queen.
There is no father and son in front of interests, let alone such half-brothers!
In less than 5 years, abdicated Abdullah II packed up his brother and stepmother and drove him out of the palace. In the following years, he made his eldest son crown prince.
Soldiers don't bloodshed! The reason why Abdullah II was able to go so smoothly was because of the support of his wife behind his back.
So, how did Queen Rania win her mother-in-law with cleverness?
The old king was fascinated by beauty and helped his youngest son to the throne before leaving
According to traditional custom, a king of Jordan can have 4 wives at the same time.
In this regard, Hussein was also an obsessive lover. Because every time he married, he married only one queen. In 1972, Hussein, who sent his third wife, married Lisa.
In order to show his respect for his little wife, he specially chose the title of Queen Noor for Lisa.
After all, in the Jordanian language, Noor means "the light of Hussein." From this title alone, it can also be seen that Hussein is obsessed with Lisa.
Lisa is 16 years younger than Hussein, not only is she beautiful, but she is also a tall student.
After she married into the royal family, while taking care of her husband, she also regarded the children left by her previous sisters as her own. At the same time, she is also actively involved in various official duties.
For example, improving education, health care and the treatment of women and children in Jordan.
At that time, whether it was receiving interviews in her home country or entertaining foreign guests, Lisa was Hussein's good helper. Under the vigorous publicity of the royal family, Lisa also became the "most beautiful queen of Jordan".
Looking at Lisa like this, the more Hussein realized that he was indebted to the other party. So, when he found out that he had cancer, he couldn't rest assured of this little wife.
After thinking about it, Hussein decided to give her a guarantee.
In 1999, Hussein, who was too ill to get out of bed, called his eldest son Abdullah over, first recalling the father-son relationship, and then mentioning his own ideas.
He advised his son that his grandson was still young, but Hamza could be a powerful helper with a little mention.
Ignoring Abdullah's ugly face, Hussein was obsessed with making his youngest son crown prince. Looking at such an old father, Abdullah's words to his mouth had to be swallowed back.
After all, the Jordanian royal family used to have a "younger brother taking over the older brother's class" rule.
In desperation, Abdullah had to agree to such a request first. Looking at his brother who was overjoyed and happy to ascend to the throne, Abdullah could not say anything bitterly.
Completing his last wish, Hussein died safely.
With the transfer of power, an invisible war officially began. The new queen, Rania, is a "fierce character" who is not inferior to her mother-in-law in terms of ability and appearance.
With her help, Abdullah II succeeded in driving out his brother and stepmother.
Driving away the mother-in-law and helping her son to the throne, Rania was happier than the princess's sister-in-law
On 10 June 1993, Rania married Abdullah, who was still crown prince.
Like his old father, Hussein, Abdullah was a lover. He and Rania had known each other for two months and were in love for three months before they got married. Moreover, he also promised that there would be only one person in the harem.
As it turns out, Rania is totally worthy of this obsession.
Queen Noor was known for her virtuousness, so Rania worked harder than her mother-in-law.
She set up charitable foundations to help poor families. During this period, she personally received the people and implemented every love to the real place. With her encouragement and help, many poor people were able to read.
Moreover, she has established a hospital dedicated to children.
Under her leadership, more people threw themselves into this charity activity. After all, as the queen, she can squat down to communicate with the children, how dare others maintain a high posture?
Not only that, Rania also opened an official account, putting "The King's Life" on the internet account.
Under The Runia, the people's perception of the royal family slowly changed: it turned out that the king was also worried about rebellious children; The queen will also care about the shortness of the parents.
With her efforts, the glorious image of Queen Lisa is being covered. Because, the people all believe that Lania, who is born of a civilian background, can truly understand everyone's difficulties.
Rania worked hard in the rear, and Abdullah II "suppressed" it head-on. It turned out that Lisa was born in the United States, and her father had served Clinton.
With such a background, how could Hamza get the support of all the officials?
After all, compared to Lisa and Hamza, Rania also educated her eldest son very well. The eldest son who studied all the way to the military academy is not inferior to his uncle in every way.
In this way, Abdullah officially announced in 2004 that he would abolish his brother's status as crown prince and allow him to live more freely.
Defeat magic with magic! Rania's excellence is also a magic weapon for the people to be more willing to support her and her son.
With Hamza and Lisa moving out of the palace, the good life that belonged to Abdullah II and Rania had just begun.
Rania is beautiful and tall. So when she attends events, she prefers her home country's clothes and accessories. Driven by her, Jordan's high-end brands have been promoted internationally.
However, although Rania loves to be pretty, she is also very frugal.
After all, Jordan occupies a small area, and the country as a whole is not too rich. Sometimes, the same crown of Rania can be worn many times. Or, she simply wears a crown with her sisters-in-law.
Take this Cartier crown, for example, which was left by the third wife of the old king.
And Rania never felt like she was the queen, so she put up a shelf and demanded that all the ornaments be unique. It is precisely because of this tolerance that she and her husband's sisters get along very well.
Among them, there is Haya.
In 2004, at the age of 30, Haya married the Sheikh of Dubai for the sake of the Jordanian royal family.
The chieftain, though rich, was also very careful and violent. As one of the chief's 6 wives, Haya's material life has improved a lot, but her spiritual life is not as happy as her sister-in-law's.
In particular, when the sheikh wanted to ration Haya's 12-year-old daughter to the 30-year-old Saudi crown prince, Haya broke out completely.
In 2019, Haya fled Dubai with her two children and went all the way to the UK to settle down. During this time, Abdullah appointed his sister as a diplomatic ambassador, allowing her to stay at ease with Britain.
And Rania? She has always been on the side of the sister-in-law and supported the sister-in-law in her pursuit of happiness.
It wasn't until this year that Haya completely divorced the chief. For this unhappy sister-in-law, Rania has always maintained a welcoming and tolerant attitude.
Internally, she can educate her children, treat royals well, and become her husband's helper; Externally, she is known as "Jordanian Diana", which is the façade of the royal family and lets more people know about the Jordanian royal family.
With such an excellent queen, it is no wonder that Abdullah's obsession has not changed for 29 years!
More importantly, Rania herself is happily married and can understand the difficulties of her sister-in-law. Haya, who was born as a princess, was threatened by the chief, and Rania also considered the problem from the perspective of her sister-in-law.
She is definitely a good sister-in-law!
Therefore, after Haya returned to the Jordanian royal family, her relationship with Rania was also very good.
It can only be said that beauty is the least worth mentioning of Rania's merit. She is intellectually generous and has won the affirmation of the royal family and the people with her personal beauty. She is already the most beautiful queen in Jordan!
If you don't say, looking pretty is a talent, and living beautifully is a real skill!
