      The couple visited a workshop at Darat Suhei by artist Suheil Baqaeen in Jabal Luweibdeh in Amman to delve more on the creative works of students with certain disabilities. Overall,l the ‘Fragrance of Colours’ initiative was launched to teach the blind and visually impaired to draw by identifying colours through the sense of smell.

      Crown Prince Hussein on his Instagram post said, “Rajwa and I were truly privileged today to meet with a group of inspiring young artists who have conquered their visual disability through their exceptional talents and artistic sensitivities.”
      “It was heartwarming to witness their insightful and immense creativity firsthand,” he shared.
      First public appearance

      The royals made their first public appearance together at the Royal Hashemite Court in Amman in October 2022, to view a series of exhibits detailing the country’s Hashemite history. The pair were accompanied by Prince Hussein’s uncle, Prince El Hassab bin Talal, the brother of the late King Hussein and uncle of King Abdullah II.
      The official wedding date confirmed
      The lavish nuptials for the couple were officially confirmed at the beginning of this year. After the couple was engaged in August last year, the news later released of the duo to officially tie the knot on June 1, 2023.
      This specific date was chosen as it holds sentimental value to the Crown Prince’s family as its few days prior to the royals, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania.

      Who is the future Queen of Jordan? Everything we know about Rajwa Al Saif

      It’s been a joyous year for the Jordanian royal family with the announcement of two engagements.
      Firstly, in July, the eldest daughter of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan, Princess Iman, announced her engagement to New York financier Jameel Alexander Thermiotis.
      Then, just one month later, it was confirmed by the Royal Hashemite Court that Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II was to wed Ms Rajwa Khaled bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al Saif of Saudi Arabia.
      Both royals are set to wed in 2023, but in particular, eyes will be on Crown Prince Hussein and his bride-to-be as it marks the next chapter in Jordan’s royal succession.

      While she is still set to become an “official” royal, Rajwa is already learning the ropes having undergone her first public engagement with Crown Prince Hussein and also learning from her future mother-in-law.
      Thus, it begs the question: who actually is Rajwa Al Saif? After all, one day she will be the future queen of Jordan.
      Early life
      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.
      Education
      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. After completing her undergraduate degree, Rajwa went to Los Angeles to study where she gained a degree from the Fashion Insitute of Design and Merchandising.
      Career
      While still in Los Angeles, Rajwa worked for an architecture firm, but other than that, little is known about her career.
      Engagement
      It’s unknown how Rajwa and Crown Prince Hussein met, but the joyous news of their engagement was announced on August 17, 2022.
      A statement was issued by the Royal Hashemite Court alongside a series of photos from the couple’s engagement at Rajwa’s father’s home in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

      “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,” the statement read.
      Welcome to the family
      Upon the announcement of the engagement, 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.
      Then, just a few weeks later, Rajwa was photographed next to Queen Rania in a sweet family photo to mark Her Majesty’s birthday.
      Style tips from Queen Rania

      Since the announcemnet of her engagement to Crown Prince Hussein, it appears Rajwa has been taking some style tips from Queen Rania, even borrowing some pieces from her personal archives.
      For their engagement ceremony, Rajwa wore an olive green dress, mustard shayla and white kaftan, embellished with gold flowers. The kaftan was sinched with a gold belt, which appears to be borrowed from Queen Rania, who was seen wearing the piece herself back in 2019 to mark Jordan’s Independence Day.
      Rajwa also borrowed a pair of earrings from Queen Rania’s personal jewellery collection. In an official portrait with Crown Prince Hussein, Rajwa wore Her Majesty’s custom earrings by British jewellery designer Stephen Webster – the Magnipheasant Plumage Earstuds.

      Rajwa Al Saif has made her first public official public engagement with her fiancé Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan.
      The newly engaged couple stepped out together at the Royal Hashemite Court in Amman to view a series of exhibits detailing the country’s Hashemite history.
      The Crown Prince of Jordan shared a few photos from his outing with his bride-to-be. The pair were also accompanied by his great uncle Prince El Hassan bin Talal, the brother of the late King Hussein and uncle of King Abdullah II.

      “There is no one more knowledgeable than my great Uncle El Hassan when it comes to Jordan’s history and our Hashemite legacy,” Crown Prince Hussein said of his visit with his fiancée.
      “Rajwa and I had the pleasure of viewing exhibits from Jordan’s Hashemite history at the Royal Hashemite Court today.”
      For her first royal public appearance, Rajwa – who is from Saudi Arabia – wore a simple monochrome outfit – a black knee-length skirt with a white shirt and white-cream bag.
      Royal engagement
      The couple announced their engagement a couple of months ago via a Twitter post from the Royal Hashemite Court in August. The post congratulated the couple and showcased a series of images of the family together to mark the special occasion.

      Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan is marking her 52nd in the best way possible, surrounded by her family and loved ones.
      The Jordanian royal took to Instagram to post a birthday photo in celebration of her birthday, and it’s an extra special one.
      In the photo appears her four children, Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Iman, Princess Salma and Princes Hashem, but there’s also two other very special individuals in the snap.
      Making an appearance for the first time in a family photo is Crown Prince Hussein’s fiancee, Rajwa Al Saif, and Princess Iman’s fiance Jameel Alexander Thermiotis. It’s a very special moment as the Jordanian royal family expands, as Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Iman only recently announced their impending nuptials to their respective partners.
      What’s more, Rajwa and Jameel were posing in the photograph right next to their future mother-in-law, a sign they’re being welcomed with open arms into the family.

      “My heart is full!” Queen Rania said on Instagram. “Couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate than with all my loved ones around me.”
      While her husband, King Abdullah II, didn’t appear in the photograph, a new portrait of the royal pair was released earlier in the day to mark Queen Rania’s birthday.
      The photograph was released on the official Instagram page of the Royal Hashemite Court where well-wishes were shared for the Jordanian royal.
      “The Royal Hashemite Court extends its warmest wishes to Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah on the occasion of her birthday,” the caption of the post read.

      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.
