The wedding ceremony of Crown Prince Hussein begins with the arrival of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, followed by the prince himself. Meanwhile, Rajwa Alseif is chauffeured to the palace in a 1968 Rolls-Royce Phantom V, specially produced for the late Queen Zein al-Sharaf, the grandmother of Crown Prince Hussein. This same car was previously used by Prince Charles III and Queen Camilla (when they were the Prince and Duchess of Wales) during their visit to Jordan in November 2021.
Hussein’s younger brother, Prince Hashem, escorts the bride to the ceremonial hall to perform the Islamic marriage rites. There, Hussein and Alseif exchange marriage vows in the presence of two witnesses and 140 guests. After the ceremony, the newlyweds drive a Range Rover to Al Husseiniya Palace to host a reception for 1,700 guests.
