Queen Rania Al Abdullah marked the birthday of her son, HRH Crown Prince Hussein, with a special tribute on social media. The Queen shared a never-before-seen photo of the Crown Prince with his wife, Princess Rajwa Al-Hussein, on Instagram, capturing the hearts of her 10.2 million followers. The photo, taken in an open green space, shows the couple beaming as they look to the side. Princess Rajwa, radiant in a pale yellow Rabanne dress, showcases her growing baby bump with the dress’s short sleeves and stretchy, form-fitting silhouette.
Queen Rania captioned the photo, “Happy birthday my dearest Hussein. Can’t wait to see you and Rajwa as parents!” This heartwarming message, alongside the photo, offers a rare glimpse of a pregnant Princess Rajwa. The Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan announced the couple’s exciting news on April 10th, revealing that they are expecting their first child this summer.
“The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, Crown Prince, and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein, are expecting, with God’s help and grace, their first child, in the summer of this year,” the statement read. “The Royal Hashemite Court extends its sincere congratulations to Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah on this occasion, and wishes Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Al Hussein and Princess Rajwa good health and joy as they welcome their baby.”
Prior to this heartwarming photo, Princess Rajwa was last seen at the celebratory event for HM King Abdullah II’s Silver Jubilee. This marked her first public appearance since the couple’s royal wedding in June 2023. The wedding, hailed as the biggest royal wedding of the year, was attended by dignitaries and royal families from across the globe.
The Crown Prince and Princess are next in line for the Jordanian throne, succeeding their parents, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania. The world eagerly awaits the arrival of their first child and the next chapter in their lives as they prepare to embrace parenthood.
