    Crown Prince of Jordan, Hussein bin Abdullah married  Rajwa Al Saif in June 2023. The Royal Couple of Jordan will soon welcome their first child.
    The Royal couple got engaged in August 2022 at Princess Rajwa’s paternal home in Saudi.
    With that, Emirates Woman explores what we know about the newest Princess of Jordan so far:

    Who is Rajwa Al Saif?
    According to Jordanian news outlet Roya News, Rajwa Al Saif was born in Riyadh on April 28, 1994 and is currently 28 years old.
    The bride-to-be is the youngest of four children, including Faisal, Naif, Dana and Rajwa, born to parents Khalid bin Musaed Al Saif and Azza Al Sudairi.
    The Al Saif family’s heritage dates back to the Subai tribe in the town of  Al-Attar in Sudair, Najd, Saudi Arabia, where ancestors are known to have been the sheikhs of the town.
    Rajwa’s father, who resides in Riyadh, has established himself as a well-reputed businessman over the years.

    Rajwa was born and raised in Saudi Arabia where she completed her secondary education.
    She then moved to New York to attend university at the College of Architecture at Syracuse University. However, little is known about her career after graduating from the university.
    The engagement
    The announcement was made 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.
