      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 has paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II ahead of her funeral.
      The wife of King Abdullah II of Jordan, who is currently in London, sat down with ITV News to discuss the life and legacy of the late British monarch.
      Queen Rania, who met the Queen on several official engagements throughout the years, described the passing of Her Majesty as “the end of an era” adding that she wasn’t just the Queen of the UK, she was the “Queen of the world”.

      “To me, she is the Queen of the world,” she told the UK-based news outlet. “She may be the Queen of England but I think symbolically she is the Queen to all of us.”
      Reflecting on her time with Her Majesty, Queen Rania explained that each time she met the British monarch she would become “warmer and warmer”.
      “I just have the most wonderful memories of her,” she revealed. “Throughout the years, every time I met her, I felt she was warmer and warmer.”
      Speaking from a place of admiration for Queen Elizabeth II, the Jordanian Queen said Her Majesty was a guide to her and was a figure she always looked up to, particularly as she navigated her way through her own royal life after marrying King Abdullah II in 1993.
      “She always gave a guiding hand and direction,” she said, adding she “really looked up to her”.
      As the UK, and the world, mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Rania praised the new King as he transitions into his new role as monarch saying, “This is the time for him.”
      “He is the person best suited for this country at this time. And I think he is going to take Great Britain into the future,” the Jordanian royal added.

      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.
      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.”
      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!”
      It certainly is a time for huge celebrations amongst the Jordanian royals.
