In a recent royal wedding, Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan gathered distinguished guests for an unforgettable group photo.

The Royal Hashemite Court shared this iconic image from the June 1st wedding, capturing the bride and groom alongside many of the world’s royals.

The photo was taken at Al-Husseiniyah Palace in Oman, just before the evening banquet, showcasing a unique unity among these esteemed individuals.

At the forefront of the picture stand Crown Prince Hussein, 28, and Princess Rajwa, 29.

In the second row, we find Kate Middleton and Prince William.

As we scan from left to right, we encounter King Philippe of Belgium, Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg, Princess Beatrice, the King and Queen of Malaysia, Crown Prince Haikon of Norway, Crown Prince Frederic and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Princess Hisako of Japan, the Sultan of Brunei, and Prince Mateen of Brunei, all arranged in staggered rows.

Notable figures such as Princess Elizabeth of Belgium, First Lady of the United States Dr. Jill Biden, Queen Jetsun Pema of Bhutan, Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, Queen Sophia and King Juan Carlos of Spain, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, Princess Katharina Amalia of the Netherlands, Prince Pavlos of Greece, and many more were also captured in this remarkable photograph.

While King Abdullah and Queen Rainier, Crown Prince Hussein’s parents, proudly stood beside the newlyweds, his siblings found their place in the back row.

Princess Imane and her husband, Jamil Thermiotis, stood on one side, while Princess Salma and Prince Hashem appeared on the other.

It is worth noting that the guests wore their Jordanian honors or their highest honors from their home countries.

For instance, Princess Kate donned a blue sash for the Royal Victorian Order, complementing her pink gown, while Queen Mary’s lovers knot tiara added a touch of elegance.

The arrangement of the group mirrored their seating positions at the Royal Wedding, with monarchs and their spouses positioned towards the front, followed by heirs.

However, a few wedding guests were missing from the picture.

Princess Beatrice’s husband, Adordo Maipelli Mozzi, was absent, as were Princess Hisako’s daughter, Princess Zaguko, and Queen Jetsun Pema’s sister-in-law, Princess Euphelma.

Last Thursday marked a momentous occasion as Crown Prince Hussain and his architect sweetheart tied the knot in an epic royal wedding.

The couple announced their engagement nine months prior to the grand celebration.

The Islamic marriage ceremony took place at Zahran Palace in Oman, where the groom’s parents had also exchanged vows in 1993.

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds embarked on a grand red motorcade to Al-Husayniya Palace, where they hosted a reception for 1,700 guests.

The evening concluded with a smaller banquet, accompanied by an outfit change for Princess Rajwa.

She surprised everyone with a second dress featuring short sleeves.

Other royal women, including Queen Rania, Princess Kate, and Princess Beatrice, dazzled in glittering gowns and tiaras.

The day after the wedding, Crown Prince Hussain expressed his love and appreciation for his bride on Instagram.

Alongside a formal portrait taken at Zahran Palace, he shared a heartfelt message, referring to Princess Rajwa as the light of his life and his lifelong companion.

He prayed for their marriage to bring them peace and warmth, thanking everyone who celebrated with them in Jordan and around the world.

As we reflect on this enchanting royal event, we are reminded of the blessings bestowed upon Crown Prince Hussain and Princess Rajwa, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the happy couple.
