“Excited to welcome my third daughter, Al Hussein’s bride-to-be, Rajwa, to the family! We’re so happy for you both,” the Jordanian monarch wrote on her Instagram.
Rajwa is perhaps already taking fashion notes from her future mum-in-law, as the 28-year-old donned designer pieces for her engagement shoot. Per the National News, the princess-to-be even borrowed the queen’s pair of Stephen Webster white gold and yellow diamond earrings.
She’s expected to take on royal duties
Since Crown Prince Hussein is first in line to the Jordanian throne, Rajwa will most likely have more responsibilities on her plate. Hussein currently heads the Crown Prince Foundation and hosts other royals during their tours of the Middle East.
