The Jordanian royal family has announced that Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and his wife, Princess Rajwa, are expecting their first child this summer. The Royal Hashemite Court shared the joyful news in a statement, expressing congratulations to King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah on the impending arrival.
The couple, both 29 years old, tied the knot last summer in a grand ceremony at Zahran Palace in Amman, attended by dignitaries from around the world, including Prince William and Kate Middleton. The baby, expected in the summer, will hold the titles of His/Her Royal Highness and Prince/Princess, with the potential to be second in line to the throne if a boy.
Prince Hussein, a graduate of Georgetown University, and Princess Rajwa, who studied architecture at Syracuse University, have largely kept a low profile despite their high-profile wedding. The pregnancy news comes shortly after the passing of Princess Rajwa's father, Khaled bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al Sai, at the age of 71.
The royal couple's impending parenthood marks a significant moment for the Jordanian monarchy, with King Abdullah II and Queen Rania set to become first-time grandparents. The baby's arrival will bring joy and new responsibilities to the young couple as they prepare to welcome their first child into the world.
As the nation eagerly anticipates the birth of the royal baby, the Royal Hashemite Court has announced three days of mourning in honor of Princess Rajwa's late father, reflecting on his kindness, generosity, and integrity.
