Line of succession to the Iraqi throne
- Line of succession to the Iraqi throne
Prince Raad the head of the Royal House of Iraq position is in contention with Sharif Ali Bin al-Hussein (a descendant of Hussein of Hejaz's granddaughter, sister and male cousin, but not in male line from king Hussein) who is another pretender to the Iraqi throne and the leader of the Iraqi Constitutional Monarchy.
The rules of succession to the Iraq throne accroding to the The Iraqi Constitution (as amended in November 1943) stipulates:
# succession to the Iraqi Throne is only for males of Iraqi nationality, and
# takes place according to primogeniture, male dynasts lawfully begotten, from the family of King Faisal I of Iraq by his Queen. Failing male heirs of King Faisal (which occurred in 1958 when Faisal II died), succession is next to lawfully begotten descendants in male line of his brothers, the sons of King Hussein of Hejaz, according to primogeniture, provided they are also Iraqi nationals. That constitution provides no further: those who descend in male line from Hussein's ancestors, are not successors as to Iraq. Female descent is excluded from succession.
Ra'ad was born in 1936 as a subject of Iraqi monarchy and is regarded to fulfill the nationality requirement. Moreover, his father Prince Zied was at that time recognized as a Prince of Iraq, and was appointed Deputy Regent of Iraq, as well as acted occasionally as full regent during Faisal II's minority. He is a male-line descendant of Hussein of Hejaz aforementioned. According to the provisions of cited constitution, Ra'ad is eligible to succeed in Iraq. No other senior in primogeniture itself (meaning in practice the dynasts of Jordan, as all other lines have gone extinct), is asserting any claim to Iraq as obviously none of such are Iraqi nationals.
So the line of succession to Prince Ra'ad is as follows:
#Prince Zeid bin Ra'ad (born 1964)
#Prince Ra'ad bin Zeid (born 2001)
#Prince Mired bin Ra'ad (born 1965)
#Prince Rakan bin Mir'ed (born 1995)
#Prince Jafar bin Mir'ed (born 2002)
#Prince Firas bin Ra'ad (born 1969)
#Prince Faisal bin Ra'ad (born 1975)
