Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa Are Expecting Their First Child
Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa are expecting their first child, the Royal Hashemite Court announced today.
"The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein are expecting their first baby this summer," a statement reads. "The Royal Hashemite Court extends its sincere congratulations to Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah on this occasion, and wishes Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Al Hussein and Princess Rajwa good health and joy as they welcome their baby." The baby news was shared with a portrait of Hussein and Rajwa from their wedding.
Prince Hussein and Rajwa Al Saif were married in a lavish royal wedding in June 2023. Royals from around the world attended the wedding, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Beatrice, and many, many more. The couple met through a mutual friend, and it's unclear when they started dating. They got engaged at Rajwa's home in Saudi Arabia in August 2022.
Princess Rajwa's last major public appearance was in January, when she and Prince Hussein undertook their first royal visit as a married couple, and traveled to Singapore.
The royal baby will be Queen Rania and King Abdullah's first grandchild. If the baby is a boy, he will be second in line to the Jordanian throne behind Prince Hussein. If the baby is a girl, she won't be in the line of succession.
