Monarchies edit

By observation, the average awarding scheme is mainly the following:

Grand Cordon with Collar of the Order of al-Hussein bin Ali for the Sovereign
Grand Cordon of the Supreme Order of the Renaissance for the Sovereign's Consort and the Heir(ess) to the throne.
Grand Cordon of the Order of the Star of Jordan for non-heir prince and princess
Grand Cordon of the Order of Independence for the husband of a non-heiress princess.

Exceptions may occur if the Jordanian Sovereign wants to honour more one prince or princess, or due to some reciprocity to the partner state's honorific system. Mainly, a non-heir prince and princess may receive the Supreme Order of the Renaissance rather than the Order of the Star of Jordan.
