Remember that the King of Saudi Arabia, King Salman, will someday pass from the scene. His son, popularly known as MBS, is already the practical leader of the country. When he does officially become king there will be a royal coronation ceremony. The crowning of MBS will be especially important because he will be the first of the next generation to reign. For decades every transfer of power has been from one brother to another, following the death of the first Saudi king, Ibn Saud. The crowning of MBS will be the first father-to-son transfer since then.
Today is the wedding of the Crown Prince of Jordan. This is the grandson of the popular King Hussein, who died in 1999. The "crown prince", or "heir apparent" means the next in line to the throne. Many royals from across the world will be at the wedding. If you would like to revisit "Jordan And The Hashemites", here is a link to it:
