The Middle East’s millennial heirs: Arab princes from the UAE, Jordan and Morocco loving football, fitness and poetry

Dubai’s crown prince Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Jordan’s Hussein bin Abdullah and Morocco’s Moulay El Hassan hold all the privileges of their UK counterparts William and Harry – top university education and military training at Sandhurst – but what mark will be made by these forward-thinking future leaders with the world at their fingertips?
They’re good looking, intelligent and are risk takers. Oh, and they’re Arab royals. Meet three young Arab heirs that could shape the future of the region for generations to come.
Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein
Age: 26
In brief: Hussein bin Abdullah is named after his grandfather, King Hussein bin Talal. The crown prince is the eldest son of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al-Abdullah.
A focus on education
Prince Hussein attended Georgetown University in Washington DC to study for a degree in international history. He also upped his military skills, graduating from the UK’s Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Yes, the same one royals from around the world attend, including Princes William and Harry.
