King Hussein really was one of the most skilled statesmen of his time. Not only did he avoid the fate of other Monarchies like in Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt or Libya by defeating a fedayeen insurgency and Syrian invasion, but he also kept Jordan as one of the most stable nations in the middle east while maintaining a well trained military, all in spite of it's less than desirable geopolitical situation. Respect to Jordan from the U.S 🇺🇸👍🇯🇴
Iraq hit him hard because his cousin and other family members where killed and he loved his cousin king Faisal ii
skilled statesman?? never a leader, not very smart, so you must be joking
King Hussein is a American and Jews aggrnt Fi nar jahnum 👹
بس خوش كس !!
He is trash and his ancestors will be in the trash bin of history like some of his ancestors before
Jordan🇯🇴 is a beautiful nation much respect from the UK🇬🇧
Yes, because its made by the United Kingdom. Bullshit.
I love british🇬🇧 from jordan 🇯🇴💖

King Hussein is still talked about and praised to this day in jordan no doubt about it he did good for his people and cared about each and every person under him it didnt matter if you were in the army, if you were a homeless person, or if you were just a normal person with a family you were treated the same and he made you feel as if your status was even with him… thats what my dad taught and told me i never had the pleasure if being alive during his time but if my dad loved him ill do the same…
Good to know. I only knew of King Hussein regarding his ham radio hobby. As a leader it allowed him to go out of the bubble of yes men and talk to everyone.
King Husain very spoken, excellent English, handsome charming, smiling king. Rest in heavenly peace king Husain.
u.s installed puppet
A very admirable Royal Family. The children were brought up very well with no arrogance. It’s quite sad that the couple divorced while the children were quite young. Princess Muna seems like a lovely and intelligent person. It’s good to know that she is still active and championing nursing and healthcare in Jordan.
This Great King sacrificed so much, for Jordan.
No doubt this cost him his health and life.
Long May his legacy lives on.
RIP King Hussein, The Great.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Thames for sharing such a wonderful video
I have to admit every time I watch this interview I have goosebumps what a great leader
Shallow ? Do you even know what that means you dumb fuck.
King Hussein was the first member of a royal family to appear on a British light entertainment programme. He was a guest on This Is Your Life back in the late 50s. The subject of the programme was the legendary RSM JC Lord, who was the Academy Sergeant Major at Sandhurst when HRH was a cadet there.
Our beloved king may ur soul rest in peace ... So proud to be Jordanian small country with big capabilities ..I wish u were here to see what u built.
Jordan is one of my great hopes for the Middle East. Stable, peaceful, practically minded. God bless you and Jordan.
British puppets
Your king was ابن كلب
Lan Di nice bit of racism there.....
@DownWith Imperialism learn to speak correct Arabic before u share your opinion
A truly great man - and such a voice. So manly, so wise!
I’ve never had goosebumps by just watching an interview he was very well spoken
I love you my king, I love my country Jordan, may your soul rest in peace.. Some shallow people don't understand how he was struggling to manage all the complexities.. It is easier for ignorant shallow people to curse and accuse people of being betrayals.. I want everyone to put yourself in his situation and see what you will do!
If he had dragged you into the war, you would have lost so many young lives, your airforce, and who knows how much territory. He was wise to try to stop it, he knew how the war would go. He was a wise man. God bless him and may Jordan continue to be a beacon of hope. Love from Canada.
You could also be shallow ,and not know it ,he was American and Israeli puppet ,nothing more
If the Arab leaders had listened to King Hussein the Arab world would be in a much better shape now. But because most of the Arab leaders are narrow minded and selfish like most of the ignorants who have stupid comments about the late king in this post, the Arab world is now in deep shit. But notice hat Jordan had stayed intact and strong throughout the years. I visited Amman many times ...I love Jordan . Long live King Abdullah II
Advancement and prosperity of any nation is measured by their democracy and respect for one another and without these education, money, golden sand and crystal mountains can do nothing to improve one's life. We are modern society in the USA but among us ignorants who lost those two elements i mentioned above.
Stewart Murray It was very clesr that while King Hussein did not mention Arafat by name, Arafat is ( or was) at the top or near top of the list of those self seeking empire building politicians.
The king was very shrewd and patient but his hand was forsed to confront the PLO who were attempting to take over Jordan.
True. There is a reason why Jordan is one of the few nations in the Middle East today that is generally safe for tourists and enjoys a decent standard of living.
Stewart Murray this is th truth Arab world in disaster
The only reason Jordan survived is because of Saudi support.
Amazing Show! Thank you for posting it.
King Hussain was so handsome & gorgeous! MashaAllah! I like his voice & smile !
A wonderful man in every way
I stumbled upon this video and something urged me to watch it. Reading the comments ga e ME goosebumps. I understood why I was lounged to see this man.
Very good video! Thanks. Since I was a teenager - I used to have a special admiration for King Of Jordan His Majesty King Hussein and His Kingdom. Indeed! He was one of the kindest men in the world. He did His best to establish a friendly relationship between the Western Nations and Arabs and He registered significant success. God bless His Soul.
4:26 “but he can’t get their land back” oh lord that makes me teary and angry at the same time
A great man
Sophisticated, Smart and what a brilliant King.

The British divided our land and unity
We lost Jerusalem and turned on our Muslim brother for false British promises of an Arab independent state. Eventually Hussain’s grand children had Jordan but we lost everything else
Don't forget that the Hashemite monarchy is a British creation, too. :)
@@lashachakhunashvili1399 it isnt lol the Hashemites have been ruling for hundreds of years and is the longest ruling dynasty after the imperial house of Japan. The Hashemites only used the help of the british to revolt against the Ottomans they were not created by the British.
@@a_bone_in_the_ocean2276 he means sharif hussein and his kids were controlled by british and especially the ones they sat up in iraq did as they said, it's also always been alleged that they're not related to the hashemites.
He was loved universally. Respected highly here in the USA.

Hussein truly is the people’s king, and princess muna is stunning, the fact that she’s still active in Jordan today is amazing and shows how much she cares for Jordan
Handsome. Beautiful VOICE Love King Hussein and Queen Alia. Best Couple.
Just to be clear that in this documentary it’s Princess Muna, King Abdullah’s mother.

His son Hamza looks soooooo much like him.

So does his grandson Prince Hussein. (The one who just married)looks so much like him too and has his smile.
Saw this video while researching a wrist watch I have with his inscription on it, what an amazing video! :)
Almost 50 years later and the country is still struggling. Good luck Jordon.

رسمي ع ايش مفتخر يا قتلة
Fuck you and fuck Jordan pisshit!!! You know what?! I lived in Gaza Strip for 18 yrs in danger and shit like that but that taught me one thing which's that fuck you and fuck who is there like you!
I noticed King Hussein had a sort of YOUNG Sean Connery facial look to him when he was younger and also an OLDER Sean Connery look when he got older. I wouldn;t be surprised if Hussein was a Sean Connery/James Bond fan, as he liked and drove fast cars and so did Bond. They also both survived dangerous plots on their life many times.
Sean Connery is actually fives years or so older than the late King Hussein. However, that observation has been made numerous times.
That's true, both are actors and their loyalty is to the west not the Jordanians!
monk donk who
He sure did look a lot like Sean Connery - amazing.
great leader rest in peace
King Hussain was a wonderful leader, and a true gentleman.
الله يرحمك ياسيدي وتاج راس الاردن ويطول بي عمر الملك عبدالله
he was a great king 🤴 and his son is too good king 🤴
Now this is a King.
I once heard he used to randomly go out with local police to kick in doors of suspected criminals himself. Imagine the king kicking your door in for gambling
Wonderful Video about late King Hussain
A wonderful king, a modern, strong, and most of all wise man. A real Arab role model.
King Abdullah was so cute !!!!
he has beautiful charachter and very handsome in youth age.
Wow ... so cool seeing King Hussein in his prime.
حبيب الشعب في حياته ومماته كان في القمه وعاش وتوفي وهو في القمه قمه المجد والخلود الله يرحمه ويسكنه فسيح جناته
It’s always seem like that Jordan had the best military outside of Israel.
great man!
I greatly admire Princess Muna.
I have a picture of my grandfather with king Hussain after the golf war to give the 🏅🏅🇯🇴it's because my ancestors shed tears and blood that's why I am where I am today in a million dollars home 2 BMWs and a Russian wife, rip my king 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴
Very Well Spoken Couple -What a Lavish Life !! That Interveiwer Was"nt The Best ? Kept on Harping on The Kings State of Affairs if He Gets Shot Too Much ?-Like The Queen Say"s He"s Guarded and She Does"nt Worry Much !!
تحيه للشعب الأردن الشقيق والله عشت 7 سنة في الأردن محافظة المفرق ناس طيبين أبو علي من العراق
وأنا عشت في اربد قبل سفري بعد وصولي من سوريا تحيه لهذا الشعب الطيب
اطال الله بعمركم وحفظكم جميعاً اخوة واخوات لنا في هذا البلد الذي جمعنا تحت إطار الوحدة العربية والإسلامية
He looked so cool
King Hussein willed his son Hamzah bin Hussein should be the king of Jordan after Abdullah, instead king Abdullah jailed prince hamzah. Hamzah bin Hussein is the legitimate crown prince of Jordan.
الله يرحمك يا سيدي وتاج راسي مولاي المعظم المغفور له باذن الله جلالة الملك الحسين بن طلال طيب الله ثراه ما زلت وستبقى حيا في قلوبنا سيدي
When was this documentary made?
King And his wife divorced in 1972. So, its interesting that the video is from 72.
I also noticed that. Curious about that
They divorced in Dec 1971. This was shown on Feb 1972 so probably filmed before Dec.
hey its the current king of jordan as a little boy (1:36) lol
Yes. King Abdullah.
Dignified king
لا اله الا الله❤🇯🇴
Very beautiful family ❤😢😢😢🙈 King Hussein
He had bulit a countrey from scrach even though it was many haters and bad guys tring not to.
0:01 growing up in the 1980’s America, whenever I see and hear that Thames intro I’m expecting to see Benny Hill next 😂
*I was wondering why the Jordanian military uniforms are similar to the British....?*
A quick search or two revealed that, Jordan first broke away from Ottoman rule in the early 1920s.
Hmmm... add that bit of info to the fact that, around that time, the British had been covertly promoting and supporting rebellions against the Ottoman Empire (which eventually contributed to its demise), and I think I've answered my question!
Thanks to his greatgrandfather who foolishly betrayed Ottoman Empire & trustred Lawrence of Arabia
The British Armed and Trained the Jordanian Army for a long Time. At certain stages the wars between Israel and Jordan had English officers leading them into battle.
I have always admired Hussain and now Abdullah if their is a future in monarchies these guys make a better example than the English.
When I see king Hussein of Jordan I feel so sad about my country Libya 🇱🇾 ,Libya was kingdom and very good country at every things education,health services ,,,king adris had good relation with king Hussein ,may Allah grant them in heaven
It is unfortunate that the period of King Idris al-Senussi's rule ended. Al-Gaddafi deceived us. I am from the generation that does not know anything about the monarchy era. They convinced us that it was a bad period and that the king was an agent of colonialism
الله يرحم الملك إدريس السنوسي تحياتي من المغرب ❤
Wow. I'm literally 2mins in and I'm blown away lol Firstly, wasn't expecting the British Gentlemanliness and his (beautiful) British wife lol (I'm British myself, so it kinda warms my heart a little lol) And then he's a HAM radio dude?! Awesome and random af. Like I said I'm only 2mins in and I love the guy lol Maybe in the next 20mins he'll execute some political dissidents and be shown to be a tyrannical nutjob of a ruler? I don't know much about Jordanian history so I have no idea lol Do Jordan's rulers still have that British slant to them (I would assume they try VERY hard not to show it these days if so)
One of the little kids is now the king
Mate?!?
رحمة الله عليك يا الغالي على كل قلب اردني 🥺💔
To a family of poets
Great man !
It does seem like the king was desperately trying to anglicise his family
He was definitely smart man
الله يرحمك يا ابو عبد الله
May God bless his soul 🙏 ❤️
هيبه الله يرحمك ابو عبدالله
im asian but as i continue to watch this.. this late king is stunning.. very charismatic and he seemed sweet 😊
You are Asian and your English is great plus, you seem to be very well informed on world matters... Congratulations 👏 👏 👏
He’d lost what in the ditch?what did he go back to get?I didn’t quite catch that part..
Me too
Very very interesting! Great job done
May God bless his soul
Prince Hamzah shouldn’t make DNA analysis to make sure that he is his son
He looks like him in everything wow
رحم الله ملك القلوب الحسين بن طلال وحفظ الله مولاي الملك عبدالله الثاني إبن الحسين المعظم 🇯🇴
