Crown Prince Hussein’s glamorous fiancée Rajwa Al-Saif paid tribute to her husband-to-be during their first official engagement as a betrothed couple yesterday.
It was announced last month that Sandhurst graduate Hussein, 28, is set to wed Saudi Arabian-born Rajwa, also 28, after an engagement ceremony at the bride-to-be’s family home in Riyadh.
The couple took part in their first official engagement as husband-and-wife-to-be yesterday, as they visited the Royal Covenant.
And in a subtle nod to their relationship, Rajwa opted to wear a necklace featuring the initials ‘R’ and ‘H.’

Rajwa donned a smart white shirt for the occasion, which she paired with a lengthy black skirt.
Meanwhile she kept her accessories to a minimum, simply carrying a miniature white handbag.
The couple, who got engaged last month, appeared in high spirits during the outing with one another, and were beaming as they visited the Royal Covenant.
Rajwa received a degree from Syracuse University, New York, and studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles after completing her secondary education in Saudi Arabia.

Rajwa (pictured during the visit) is the youngest daughter of Khaled M. Al Saif and his wife, Azza bint Naif Al-Sudairi
She has worked at an architecture firm in Los Angeles and currently works at Designlab Experience design studio in Riyadh.
She is the youngest daughter of Khaled M. Al Saif and his wife, Azza bint Naif Al-Sudairi.
Mr Al Saif is CEO of the Al Saif Group, a privately-owned company with a diverse portfolio of businesses across healthcare, construction and security services, and is a board member of the Saudi-British Joint Business Council, which promotes trade between the two countries.
Crown Prince Hussein, the eldest of King Abdullah and Queen Rania’s four children, is a graduate of the prestigious Georgetown University, Washington D.C., and serviced in the Army after graduating from Sandhurst in 2017.
In 2015 he made history as the youngest person to chair a meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
Earlier this year he made headlines when he hosted Prince William on a visit to the Middle East.

Proud mother Rania shared her joy on Instagram after the announcement of their engagement in September.
She posted a slideshow of images, writing: ‘I didn’t think it was possible to hold so much joy in my heart! Congratulations to my eldest Prince Hussein and his beautiful bride-to-be, Rajwa.
In Arabic, Rania continued: ‘I prayed to Allah – like me, like every mother – to grant you good and to find the one you love, Rajwa came.
‘Congratulations to my son, Prince Al-Hussein, and our precious and sweet bride Rajwa – May Allah bless you and make you happy and complete well.’
It came just weeks after Queen Rania announced the surprise engagement of her second child, Princess Iman, 25, to Jameel Thermiotis.

According to reports, Venezuela-born Jameel, who is around two years older than the princess, works as a Managing Partner for a Venture Capital fund based in New York.
The engagement announcement was a delightful surprise for royal fans, since the couple have kept their relationship under wraps until now, and it’s not clear how long they have been dating.
In personal statement shared on her Instagram account, Queen Rania said: ‘Congratulations my dearest Iman; your smile has always been a gift of love that I’ve cherished since the day you were born. I wish you and Jameel a life filled with love and laughter!’
