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).

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.
