Princess Rajwa is the name on every royal fans’ lips right now as the beautiful Princess of Jordan is expecting her first child, who will be second in line to the throne if it’s a boy.
Crown Prince Hussein’s wife, 30, was spotted on Thursday on a shopping trip which was captured in a video shared by Alwakeel News on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Rajwa left a shopping centre in Jordan’s capital city of Amman, looking casual in a light-wash denim jumpsuit that showed off her blossoming baby bump hich had rolled-up long sleeves, and a waist-tie with white trainers.
Her hair was worn in long luscious waves and she carried a lilac mini bag. The Princess was last seen in a set of official portraits which were captured to mark the expectant mother’s 30th birthday.

To mark the occasion, her husband Prince Hussein, 29, posted a gorgeous photo to his official Instagram page. “I ask the Almighty to maintain the affection between us…I wish you all the best every year, my life partner,” the future king penned. “May God continue to bless and nurture the bond between us. Happy Birthday Rajwa!”.
The photo saw the happy couple enjoying a quiet night out where the Princess stunned in a burnt red shirt dress paired with the most opulent accessories.
She carried the Bottega Veneta ‘Knot Intrecciato Gold Mesh Clutch’, topping off her look with the statement ‘Mouth and Eye’ earrings by Schiaparelli which were accentuated by her dark hair being tied off her face.
