Prince

Hassan was educated first in Amman. He then attended Summer Fields School,

Oxford, and Harrow School in

England, then Christ Church, a college

of the University of Oxford, where

he Studies and later proceeded to MA.

Hassan is fluent in Arabic, English, French and German. He has

a working knowledge of Turkish and Spanish, and studied Hebrew at university. In

1965 Hassan was named as Crown Prince of Jordan after the constitution was

amended. He was frequently regent during his brother's absences from the country.

During Hussein's final illness in January 1999, he was replaced by his

nephew Abdullah only days

before the king died. Abdullah subsequently inherited the

throne of Jordan. In 2009, he joined the project "Soldiers of Peace",

a film against all wars and

for global peace. On

10 June 2013, he was appointed as the chairman of the advisory board on water

and sanitation (UNSGAB) by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. As King Hussein was undergoing cancer treatment in mid-1998,

the King assigned Crown Prince Hassan a range of powers and authority to act as

regent. With his newly gained powers, Hassan exercised a number of steps to

consolidate his position as heir and future king, which included: (1)

"orchestrating the removal of the [unpopular] government" of

Abdelsalam Majali and appointing former Royal Court chief Fayez al-Tarawneh in his place, (2) organizing dialogue

and reconciliation with opposition groups, most prominently the Muslim

Brotherhood, and (3) "attempting to affect changes at top of the

military". Hassan's attempted changes of the top hierarchy of the military

angered King Hussein and led him to resume full duties as king. It is also a

commonly cited reason for Hassan's removal as crown prince on January 24, 1999. Hassan's removal took shape through

a 14-page typed letter, described by American historian W. Andrew Terrill as

"extremely harsh", in which King Hussein expressed "unmistakable

disappointment in Crown Prince Hassan" and ordered his replacement with

Hussein's son Abdullah. Terrill describes King Hussein as perhaps having felt that

Hassan had "interest in shifting the line of succession to his own

family", which led to his dismissal as Crown Prince three weeks before

Hussein's death. Crown

Prince Hassan's attempted consolidation of power led the sickly King Hussein to

"break off intensive treatments for lymphoma" and fly back home to

Jordan in order to address this issue. At first, the King attempted to

negotiate with Hassan, placing the King's younger son Hamzah as Hassan's

crown prince to ensure that the line of succession would not switch to Hassan's

line. However, Hassan's Indian-born wife Sarvath vetoed the

proposal, particularly because of her reported distaste for Hamzah's

American-born mother Queen Noor and her

desire to have her son Prince Rashid in the line of succession. Therefore

instead, King Hussein replaced Hassan with his own son Abdullah who had backing

within the military and whose position as eldest son of the king would allow

him to be "enthroned by royal fiat", unlike Hamzah whose enthronement

would require "confirmation from the Jordanian Parliament"
