Rajwa's groom, Crown Prince Hussein is the eldest sonof Jordan's King Abdullah II and Queen Rania. He was formally named heir to the throne when he was15. He is named after his grandfather, King Hussein, who ruled Jordan for 46 years until his death in 1999.
He graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in international history in 2016 and from the British Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst the following year. He was the youngest person to chair a meeting at the United Nations Security Council and has addressed the UN General Assembly.
