Royal Celebration of the Summer: Will Prince and Princess of Wales Attend Jordan’s Crown Prince’s Wedding?

Jordan's royal family is gearing up for the highly anticipated wedding of Crown Prince Hussein, but the question on everyone's mind is whether the Prince and Princess of Wales will be in attendance.

The upcoming nuptials between Hussein, a Sandhurst alumnus, and Saudi Arabian-born architect Rajwa al-Saif have already garnered much attention, with an engagement celebration held at the bride's family residence in Riyadh.

The couple is set to tie the knot on June 1, and their wedding will take place at Zarin Palace, where they will welcome numerous guests from abroad.

Speculation has arisen that Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, may attend the event due to her personal connection to Jordan.

In the early 1980s, when she was just a young child, her family resided in Jordan for three years while her father worked for British Airways in Amman.

A previously released photo shows a four-year-old Kate with her father and younger sister Pippa during their time in Jordan.

During a trip to the Middle East in 2018, Prince William discussed Kate's fond memories of Jordan with Ronnie Amalki, CEO of Save the Children.

He revealed that she loved her time there and expressed her disappointment at not being able to accompany him on his visit.

In a gesture that fulfilled his promise, William brought their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, on a vacation to Jordan, as confirmed by Kensington Palace through their Christmas card in 2021.

The family visited the ancient city of Petra, and the photo for their card was taken there.

The close relationship between the Jordanian and British royal families is well-established.

King Abdullah and Queen Rania were among the select few, totaling 2,300 people, who attended the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

They also paid their respects at Queen Elizabeth's funeral in September of the previous year.

In a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, Queen Rania referred to the late monarch as the “Queen of the World” and expressed her admiration for Queen Elizabeth in a CNN interview filmed just before the funeral.

Queen Rania also spoke highly of Kate during the interview, praising her genuine generosity and dedication to children's welfare.

Both women share a passion for supporting children's causes, among other similarities.

Furthermore, Queen Rania serves on the Earthshot Prize Council, an initiative established by Prince William in 2020.

The guest list for the upcoming royal wedding includes several VIPs who have already confirmed their attendance.

Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark and his wife Mary, as well as Princess Hisako and Princess Tsuguko of Japan, are among those who will be present.

The Dutch monarchs have also announced their plans to attend the celebration through a message on their official website.

Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, who recently attended King Charles III's coronation, along with Crown Prince Håkon of Norway, are also expected to join the festivities.

In other news, Prince William shared a poignant speech in which he revealed that one of Tina Turner's classic songs holds a special place in his heart.

The Prince of Wales reminisced about the wonderful moments he spent with his mother, Princess Diana, and his brother, Prince Harry, while listening to the iconic singer's music.

Tina Turner, known as the Queen of Rock and Roll, sadly passed away on May 24 after a prolonged illness.

Prince William hinted that he might be among those paying tribute to her, given the significance of her songs in his personal memories.

As the royal wedding approaches, the world eagerly awaits confirmation of the Prince and Princess of Wales' attendance.

The event promises to be a grand affair, uniting not only the Jordanian and British royal families but also distinguished guests from around the globe.
