In the letter, Prince Hamzah
acknowledged that Jordan had witnessed trying circumstances and a regrettable
chapter in its history last year, which the country overcame, guided by His
Majesty’s wisdom, patience, and tolerance.
The King had entrusted HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal last April to lead efforts within the
family to deal with the role of Prince Hamzah in connection with last year’s
sedition case.
At the time, Prince Hamzah pledged to
Prince El Hassan and a number of Royal family members to commit to the
Constitution and the legacy of the Hashemite Family, and has since remained at
his palace with his family, under the care of His Majesty.
Prince reaffirms his commitment to remain true to the legacy of the Hashemites in service of the Jordanian people, and to abide by the Constitution under His Majesty’s leadership.
The prince said in his letter earlier
this week, that the past months had afforded him the opportunity for
self-reflection and compelled him to write to His Majesty, the elder brother,
expressing his hope to turn the page on that chapter in the country’s and the
family’s history.
The letter followed a meeting between
His Majesty and Prince Hamzah on Sunday evening at the prince’s request, in the
presence of Their Royal Highnesses Prince Feisal bin Al Hussein and Prince Ali
bin Al Hussein.
Prince Hamzah recognized that he had
erred, and took responsibility for his actions and offences towards Jordan and
His Majesty over the past years, including the incidents that followed in the
sedition case.
In his letter, the prince sought His
Majesty’s forgiveness, apologizing to the King and the Jordanian people for his
actions, which he vowed will not recur.
Prince Hamzah also reaffirmed his
commitment to his earlier pledge before Prince El Hassan to always remain true
to the legacy of the Hashemites in service of the Jordanian people, and to
abide by the Constitution under His Majesty’s leadership.
Prince Hamzah’s acknowledgment of his
mistake and apology represent a step in the right direction on the path to
regaining his role as other Royal family members, in the service of Jordan
based on the duties assigned to them by the King.
The Hashemites have always dedicated
themselves to safeguarding Jordan’s interests, serving the Jordanian people,
and fulfilling their aspirations. Throughout its history, the Royal Hashemite
Family has always been a source of comfort for the Jordanian people, and His
Majesty dealt with Prince Hamzah’s role in the sedition case in line with this
Hashemite legacy.
