The Jordanian royal family is set to welcome two new family members into the fold following the announcements of Crown Prince Hussein’s engagement to Rajwa Al Saif and Princess Iman’s engagement to Jameel Alexander Thermiotis.
Following both announcements, Queen Rania shared her excitement about welcoming Rajwa and Jameel into the family.
Clearly elated with the upcoming nuptials, it was a point of discussion for Her Majesty with members of staff on a recent public engagement at the shabab42 Foundation in Jordan on Monday.
However, it seems Queen Rania let a few details slip about Crown Prince Hussein’s upcoming wedding to his bride-to-be.
According to Arabian Royal Agency, in an Instagram story which was posted to the foundation’s Instagram page, Queen Rania revealed the rough wedding date of Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa Al Saif of Saudi Arabia.
The wedding is reportedly set to take place in the summer of 2023. The Instagram story in question was eventually removed from the shabab42 Foundation’s page.
However, thus far, no official details have been announced about Crown Prince Hussein’s wedding or Princess Iman’s wedding.
Crown Prince Hussein’s engagement
Crown Prince Hussein’s engagement to Rajwa Al Saif was announced via a Twitter post by the Royal Hashemite Court on Wednesday, August 17, 2022. The post congratulated the couple and showcased a series of images of the family together to mark the special occasion, which took place at Rajwa’s father’s home in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The statement said, “The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce the engagement of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II to Ms. Rajwa Khaled bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al Saif, on Wednesday, 17 August 2022, in the presence of Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah.”
Queen Rania also shared a personal congratulations to her son and his bride-to-be following the announcement.
“I didn’t think it was possible to hold so much joy in my heart! Congratulations to my eldest Prince Hussein and his beautiful bride-to-be, Rajwa,” she said on Instagram, also sharing photos from the engagement.
The family posed with wide smiles in several portrait shots as the royal couple stood with their future daughter-in-law after the ceremony.
Princess Iman’s engagement
It’s a joyous time for the Jordanian royal family as Crown Prince Hussein’s announcement came just weeks after his younger sister, Princess Iman, announced her engagement.
Queen Rania shared a photo of her eldest daughter with her fiance Jameel Alexander Thermiotis confirming their engagement.
She congratulated her “dearest Iman” and her husband-to-be.
“Congratulations my dearest Iman; your smile has always been a gift of love that I’ve cherished since the day you were born,” she said. “I wish you and Jameel a life filled with love and laughter!”
The Jordanian royal family will certainly be busy with wedding planning over the next year.
