Jordan’s Prince Hamzah Relinquishes Title After Feud With King

Prince Hamzah of Jordan said he would relinquish his title in the fallout of a feud with his half brother, King Abdullah II.

Hamzah made the announcement in a letter posted Sunday on Twitter. 

“Based on what I have seen and witnessed over the past years, I have reached to a conclusion that my personal convictions cannot be reconciled with the current approaches, orientations and method of our modern institutions,” he wrote. 

In April 2021, Jordan said it uncovered a plot to destabilize the kingdom that involved Hamzah. 

Last month, the prince wrote a letter to the king in which he apologized, admitted his mistakes and sought forgiveness.
