Amid regal duties and royal engagements, there’s excitement brewing in the Jordanian royal family as Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa are expecting the arrival of their first child.

Last week, in an official announcement, the Hashemite Court confirmed in a statement Princess Rajwa is pregnant.

“The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein are expecting their first baby this summer,” the statement read.

The announcement disclosed that Princess Rajwa’s due date falls sometime this summer, speculations about when exactly the baby will arrive began.

When is Jordan’s Princess Rajwa due to give birth?

Typically, pregnancy announcements are made after the first trimester, indicating that Princess Rajwa is likely between three to six months along. With this timeframe in mind, the baby could arrive anytime between June and September. However, it’s important to note that without official confirmation from the court or Princess Rajwa herself, the precise due date remains unconfirmed.

Marking a joyous moment and significant moment for the Kingdom’s legacy, the royal baby will be the first grandchild of Jordan’s King Abdullah and Queen Rania.

The love story of the young royal couple, who first met through mutual school friends, blossomed into a grand wedding ceremony last summer.

Adorned in an exquisite white gown by renowned Lebanese designer Elie Saab, Princess Rajwa was walked down the aisle by her brother-in-law, Prince Hashem bin Abdullah. Later, she dazzled in a Dolce & Gabbana ensemble for the reception, attended by notable guests including US First Lady Jill Biden, as well as Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales.
