The current Jordanian monarchy, or the Hashemite Kingdom dates back to 1921 when the British Mandate installed King Abdullah I as Emir of Transjordan. When Jordan became an independent country in 1946 he became it's first king. The Jordanian monarchy can only be inherited by Muslim males. The current monarch is King Abdullah II. There are some 25 people in line for succession to the Hashemite throne, I have listed here the first nine, which include the children, brothers and nephews of the current king.
