For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle The new parents named their bundle of joy Iman, the Royal Hashemite Court announced. The King and Queen of Jordan expressed their joy on X. King Abduallah stated the arrival of his granddaughter has “enlightened the family.” Queen Rania congratulated the couple and wished blessings upon them and thier new child. Jordan’s constitution dictates that the throne passes to male heirs, so Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa’s child will enter the line of succession to the throne. Since the baby is a girl, there will be no change to the line of succession. Crown Prince Hussein is heir to the throne and is currently followed by his brother Prince Hashem. The royal family’s new addition will receive the titles of Her Royal Highness and princess. The royal family announced the pregnancy in April, saying the princess, who is from Saudi Arabia, will give birth in the summer. Princess Rajwa, who celebrated her 30th birthday in April, is the daughter of late Saudi businessman Khalid bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al-Saif, who died in January this year, and his wife, Azza bint Nayef Abdulaziz Ahmad Al-Sudairi. She is the youngest of four children — her older siblings are called Faisal, Nayef and Dana. The princess’s mother comes from the prominent Al-Sudairi family. Incidentally, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman is one of the so-called “Sudairi Seven,” an influential alliance of seven full brothers born to King Abdulaziz and Hussa bint Ahmed Al-Sudairi. After graduating from high school in Saudi Arabia, Rajwa studied at Syracuse University’s School of Architecture in New York state. She also holds an Associate of Arts Professional Designation in visual communications from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. After a spell working at an architecture firm in Los Angeles, she returned to her native Saudi Arabia to work at the Designlab Experience design studio in Riyadh. She and the crown prince tied the knot in June 2023 at Zahran Palace in Amman in a ceremony that included dignitaries and royals from around the world, including the UK’s Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate Middleton; US First Lady Jill Biden; Qatar’s Sheikha Moza bint Nasser and many more.
