***NOT A TEACHER*** In my very humble opinion, your sentence is fine with just a few little changes: Prince Hasan would now be the king of Jordan if the late King Hussien had not changed his heir designate on his death bed, (thus) breaking all precedence. = an event that broke all precedence. That little comma after "bed" is SUPER important.

Also, it should be "precedent" not "precedence".
