Most monarchs are groomed from birth as an heir but not for the Jordanian king who only discovered his fate two weeks before he inherited the throne.
Situated in "a tough neighbourhood", Jordan is not just an important player in the middle-east region - it's also essential for the West that it remains stable.
Since returning to the White House Donald Trump is demanding the country takes in more Palestinian refugees from Gaza, which Abdullah II is refusing.
The US president is also pausing foreign aid to Jordan.
We'll find out how the country is coping with an economic struggle, and learn how the Jordanian royal family are covered by the press.
Plus how a 2021 alleged coup caused international headlines as a royal family rift hit boiling point.
Guests:
Rana Sweiss, journalist
Jonathan Dagher, Reporters Without Borders
