Exclusive – There is a clear secret that doesn’t require much analysis, yet it demands deep feeling to understand: why does His Majesty King Abdullah II seem, every time he meets his fellow soldiers, as if he is returning as a child to his first home? Why does his laughter come out pure, spontaneous, and unforced, as it did during his recent playful remark to them: “Who was afraid to jump?”

The answer is simple, yet profoundly deep—so deep that it is difficult to explain without touching the heart before the mind.
These men are not merely retired officers; they are witnesses to a stage of the King’s life that only those who shared it with him can know. They endured the grueling training, long hours under the sun and rain, and moments that test men not through words but through deeds. Among them, the King was not a monarch—he was a young officer learning, walking, and fighting side by side with those who now represent golden chapters in his life. For this reason, when he sits among them, age seems to fall away, and the spirit remains as it always was: pure, strong, and sincere.
The King’s happiness in these moments is not the joy of office, but the joy of memory. For him, the army is not merely a stage in life—it is a root that shapes his perspective on life, leadership, and men. He knows that true leadership begins on the field, and that discipline, loyalty, and dedication are lessons learned not from books, but from moments of exhaustion, danger, and absolute trust in those standing beside you.
When the King teases his comrades, he does so not as a monarch, but as a brother, a companion, part of the group that made him a man before circumstances made him a leader. His laughter is genuine, his features warmer, and memories flow as though time has never passed.
The secret of this joy is simple: His Majesty returns to the people who reflect him, to the moments that define him, and to the place that shaped his heart before it shaped his history. This sincere happiness is the clearest proof that no matter how high one rises, one never forgets their roots or those who shared the journey.
