Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan's bride Princess Rajwa made quite the entrance at her wedding, which took place in the gardens of Zahran Palace in Amman.
The Saudi architect, 29, walked down the aisle arm-in-arm with her brother-in-law Prince Hashem in a custom Elie Saab wedding dress – and it left quite the impression on the Prince of Princess of Wales, who were among the 140 guests invited to witness the ceremony.

She finished off her look with a flowing tulle veil, drop silver earrings and a sparkling tiara, styling her hair half-up in cascading waves and accentuating her flawless complexion with a subtle blush and pink lips.

Two people who could not hide their reaction were Prince William and Princess Kate who spoke to the bride and groom after their ceremony – take a look at the video below.
Crown Prince Hussein also looked dapper in his black uniform inspired by the one worn by his father King Abdullah II, while Queen Rania greeted guests in a black gown with gold detailing by Dior.

Following their ceremony, the newlyweds, who announced their engagement in August 2022, travelled from Zahran Palace to Al Husseiniya Palace for their wedding reception in a procession known as the Red Motorcade. The Motorcade consists of eight bright red armed Land Rover vehicles and 11 motorcycles, but on special occasions, horse and camel riders join the line-up and the Jordan Armed Forces Musical Band plays military music on bagpipes.
