      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.

      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, has shared some adorable new photographs of his father doting on his grandchildren, twins Rashid bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum and Shaikha bint Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum.
      In the photos, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is seen spending quality time with the little ones whilst they holiday in the UK as a family.
      The first photograph shows the Dubai Ruler with little Shaikha, helping her to walk. The second photo shared by Sheikh Hamdan shows Sheikh Mohammed with young Rashid, playing in the garden.

      Along with the photos, Sheikh Hamdan, who is affectionately known as Fazza, shared a poem Sheikh Mohammed penned about twins Rashid and Shaikha in Arabic.
      The Dubai Ruler himself shared the poem on his official Instagram page alongside a photograph previously shared by Sheikh Hamdan of the four enjoying quality time in the UK together.

      Summer in London
      Fazza has been enjoying a long holiday in London over the summer months.
      Just a couple of weeks ago, he was spending time in the UK’s capital and was seemingly able to go about his day being unrecognised.
      His Highness shared a selfie on Instagram with his friend Badr Ateej riding the crowded London Underground.
      “We’ve got a long way to go and Badr is already bored,” he said in the caption of the post.

      A few weeks prior, the Crown Prince of Dubai was recognised around central London as he was driving. In a video captured by Sheikh Hamdan’s friend Ahmad Jaber Al Harbi, the royal is seen interacting with two fans.
      Sheikh Hamdan was in his car driving in the city when he was stopped for some photos by the two individuals, who also happened to be Dubai residents.
      Not ever one to say no to a photo, Dubai’s Crown Prince enthusiastically posed with the fans, even helping them to get the right shot.
      At one point in the video, the male fan says “Sorry to bother you” but Fazza responded saying, “No, it’s okay”, also shaking his hand.

      His Highness is a regular visitor to the United Kingdom, as are many other members of the Dubai royal family.

      The Jordanian royals are celebrating the second engagement in the family this year.
      Crown Prince Hussein announced the joyous news of his engagement to Rajwa Al Saif on Wednesday, just five weeks after his sister, Princess Iman became engaged to New York financier Jameel Alexander Thermiotis.
      While congratulations are undoubtedly flowing in for the newly engaged couple, little is actually known about Crown Prince Hussein’s bride-to-be.
      With that, Emirates Woman explores what we know, so far, about the future wife of the Jordanian Crown Prince.

      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 Khalif 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.
      Life & career
      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.
