...something he has in common with Prince William, whom he entertained in June 2018 during the British royal's five-day tour of the Middle East.
The visit coincided with the World Cup and, after a busy day of official engagements, the pair caught up on the England vs. Panama game back at the palace. It looked like a chilled affair, as they watched the football on a giant TV screen in what looked like some sort of snug.
Prior to his army career, Hussein graduated from Georgetown University in Washington DC with a degree in International History in 2016. He attended high school in Jordan.
