AMMAN, 6 April, 2021, (TON): Jordan’s former crown Prince Hamzah bin Hussein has signed a letter in which he promised to abide by the traditions and approaches of the ruling Hashemite monarch family, the royal court said in a statement.  

The announcement indicates that a rift within the royal family has come to an end, after what was reported at the weekend as an unprecedented political crisis in the kingdom. 

On Sunday, Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister Ayman Safadi revealed details of what he said was a plot to undermine stability in the country, after arrests announced on Saturday. 

Prince Hamzah was among those blamed for supposedly sowing internal division, prompting rumors that a coup may have been attempted. 

According to the Jordanian royal court, the letter read that in light of the events over the "past two days, I put myself at the disposal of His Majesty the King, and I reaffirm that I will always remain committed to the covenant of the ancestors, loyal to their legacy, following in their footsteps, devoted to their path and mission, and to His Majesty the King." 

At the bottom left of the letter, Hamzah -- the oldest son of Jordan's late King Hussein and his American-born wife Queen Noor -- signed off with a note indicating that he is at his uncle Prince Hassan's house. 

Prince Hassan had been appointed by King Abdullah II to deal with the dispute, according to an earlier statement from the Royal Court on Monday, and Hassan also signed the letter. 

Hamzah was initially considered the favorite to succeed his father. However, before King Hussein died of cancer in 1999, he named Abdullah his successor, as Hamzah was seen as too inexperienced and young to become a monarch. 

King Abdullah appointed Hamzah crown prince in 1999 before revoking the title in 2004. 

The US and a growing list of Arab countries have voiced their backing of King Abdullah.
