Crown Prince Hussein, 28, is Rania’s eldest child and the heir to his father King Abdullah's throne. He will marry his longterm love Rajwa, a Saudi architect, on 1 June in a beautiful ceremony at the Zahran Palace in Amman.
His nuptials will come less than three months after the marriage of his younger sister, Princess Iman, who tied the knot with Jameel Alexander "Jimmy" Thermiótis on 12 March.
