Royal baby joy for Princess Kate and Prince William as close friends announce first child
Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa have just announced that they are expecting their first child.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will be delighted to hear that close friends Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa are expecting their first child.
Prince William and Kate attended the couple’s royal wedding in a surprise visit to Jordan last June and joined royals from all around the world in Amman for the celebrations.
The joyous news of Princess Rajwa’s pregnancy was announced by the Jordanian royal family in a statement: “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, this summer.”
The statement further added: “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.”

The British royals’ trip to Jordan for the wedding was not announced in advance, with their arrival confirmed by Jordanian state media a few hours before the start of the palace ceremony.
After the ceremony, the Prince and Princess of Wales lined up alongside other guests to congratulate the royal couple, with Kate wearing a stunning floor-length, long-sleeved baby pink dress with intricate detailing, which was an Elie Saab gown from the AW17 RTW collection.
The maxi dress was also a respectful choice to wear to the royal wedding and Kate chose to accessorise her wedding guest look with her Wilbur & Gussie “Charlie” Clutch in Gold Glitter.
During the day, Princess Kate was captured sharing a conversation with the new bride, but the small talk seemed too much for Prince William who was spotted trying to hurry his wife along.
The “royal wedding of the year” also had various other well-known faces in attendance.
The US First Lady Jill Biden was also present, as was the then Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden.
Members of the royal families of Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands and Japan also attended.
