DUBAI: In anticipation of the upcoming nuptials of her eldest son, Jordan’s Queen Rania will host a dinner banquet on May 22.
The dinner will kick off the festivities leading up to the wedding of her son Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II and Saudi Arabia’s Rajwa Al-Saif, which will take place on June 1.
In August, Crown Prince Hussein got engaged to Saudi citizen Al-Saif in a ceremony which was held in the presence of King Abdullah II, Queen Rania and the bride-to-be’s family in Riyadh.
“I didn’t think it was possible to hold so much joy in my heart! Congratulations to my eldest Prince Hussein and his beautiful bride-to-be, Rajwa,” Queen Rania wrote at the time on Instagram to mark her eldest son’s engagement.
Al-Saif is the daughter of Saudi businessman Khalid Al-Saif and was educated in Saudi Arabia before pursuing her university education in the US, where she studied architecture at Syracuse University.
