She knows the torch has passed to her stepson King Abdullah and her own eldest son Crown Prince Hamzah, 18, who is studying at Sandhurst and bears a striking resemblance to his late father. Abdullah's wife Rania, 28, is expected to be named queen soon, but that shouldn't be a problem: Noor shared the title with Hussein's mother Queen Zein until she died...
