Hussein's brother, CROWN PRINCE HASSAN, 51, has been the designated heir for 33 years and would be expected to succeed unchallenged, but naming his successor is likely to spark friction. Hussein would like Hassan to name one of the King's sons crown prince. The two eldest, ABDULLAH and FEISAL, are considered unqualified because their mother is British.
