Jordan’s Queen Rania has shared pictures and video from the henna party of her future daughter-in-law Rajwa Khaled Al Saif.
Henna party, which took place at Royal Hashemite Court’s Madareb Bani Hashem in Amman, is the first major celebration ahead of the wedding of Al Saif to Crown Prince Hussein, which is set to take place on June 1 at Zahran Palace.
The celebration brought together women from both families as well as the larger Jordanian kingdom.
Queen Rania praised Rajwa in her welcome speech, describing her as “the sweetest and most beautiful bride-to-be” and as dear to her as her daughters Princess Iman and Princess Salma.
Sharing series of photos from the event on Instagram, Queen Rania said she was celebrating “our beautiful Rajwa”.
“No celebration would be complete without our Jordanian family. Celebrating our beautiful Rajwa,” Queen Rania wrote in one of her Instagram post.
In the pictures, Al Saif, who hails from Saudi Arabia, appears wearing a gold and white dress designed by Saudi designer Hunaida Al-Serafi.
