The Jordanian monarchy was set up in 1921, with help from the British. The sons of Sherif Hussein ibn Ali, were set up as kings of Iraq and Jordan. In Jordan, Abdullah I of Jordan was made Emir of Transjordan (11 April 1921 - 25 May 1946), King of Transjordan (25 May 1946 - 3 April 1949) and King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on 3 April 1949. The Hashemite Dynasty originates in the Hejaz and is actually alien to Jordan, but it continues to rule Jordan with general popular support.

The Governor-General of Jamaica represents the Jamaican monarch, and head of state, who holds the title of King or Queen of Jamaica (as of 2007, Elizabeth II).
The Queen, on the advice of the Prime Minister, appoints a Governor- General to be her representative in Jamaica. Neither the Queen nor the Governor-General has any real authority in conducting the administration of the country(however, both possess reserve powers under the constitution which would allow them full control of the nation's governance whenever in their opinion a case of emergency requiring such action arises). Real legislative and executive responsibilities rest with the elected representatives of the people.
The Governor-General represents the Queen on ceremonial occasions such as the opening of Parliament, the presentation of honours and military parades. Under the Constitution, he is given authority to act in some matters, for example in appointing and disciplining officers of the civil service, in proroguing Parliament and so on, but only in a few cases is he empowered to act entirely on his own discretion.[1]
Governors-General of Jamaica, 1962-present
Sir Kenneth Blackburne (6 August–30 November 1962)
Sir Clifford Campbell (1 December 1962–2 March 1973)
Sir Herbert Duffus (2 March–27 June 1973) (acting)
Sir Florizel Glasspole (27 June 1973–31 March 1991)
