Princess Rajwa of Jordan recently celebrated her second wedding anniversary with Crown Prince Hussein. Queen Elizabeth marked the unprecedented anniversary by revealing a beautiful new official portrait, which captured her grace and fashion. The newlywed couple tied the knot in June 2023 in a lavish ceremony at Zahran Palace in Amman. As a duo they’ve already won over the world with their adorability and steadfast devotion to one another.
In June 2023, Crown Prince Hussein announced his engagement to Princess Rajwa. For such a special occasion, he picked an emotional moment from her family’s house in Riyadh. Their wedding ceremony attracted significant attention, drawing 1,700 guests, including prominent figures such as The Prince and Princess of Wales, King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark, and King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. Following their vows, the newlyweds participated in a grand procession through the streets of Amman, concluding at Al Husseiniya Palace.
A Vision in Elegance

The minimalist, romantic gown was completed with simple long sleeves and an edgy asymmetrical neckline. Her glamorous wedding gown accentuated her grace and beauty as she prepared to marry Crown Prince Hussein. The pair’s love story has touched millions around the world. Their union was made even more perfect by the birth of their daughter, Princess Iman, less than a month after their wedding. Princess Iman was only 10 months old when the couple marked their second year of marriage.
In a recent portrait taken for their anniversary, Princess Rajwa embodied sophistication in a chocolate brown ‘The Ghost Who Walks Draped Silk Maxi Dress’ by Petar Petrov. The gown featured a dramatic high neck and airy, tiered skirt. It was cinched at the waist with a Schiaparelli gold belt, allowing her sophisticated fashion sense to soar.
Celebrations at Al Husseiniya Palace
More than just a private celebration, the second anniversary gala was a major public shoe-leather event. The newlywed couple’s colorful Sate banquet hosted at the Al Husseiniya Palace. 1,700 guests toasted to their union and danced the night away with them. The impact of the pomp and pageantry underscored the importance of the royal family to the cohesion of Jordan. It made clear their deep public service ethos, dedication to tradition and royal duties.
These aren’t the first time Princess Rajwa has made jaws drop with her style. At one gala, she positively sparkled in a white gown embroidered with blue blossoms on the skirt. She styled her outfit with trendy white pumps. Her fashion choices remain an influence both in royal circles and far outside them.
A Bright Future Ahead

Their timeless love tale, coupled with the entrance of Princess Iman, enriches their regal saga even more.
