The Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan has announced the date of the crown prince’s wedding to his Saudi fiancée.

Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II and Rajwa Al-Saif will tie the knot on 1 June 2023, the announcement said.

Al-Saif studied at Syracuse University's School of Architecture in New York state. Her father is Khalid bin Musaed Al-Saif, a businessman, and her mother is Azza bint Naif Al-Sudairi.

Hussein, who has been the Jordanian crown prince since 2009, attended Sandhurst – a prestigious military academy in the UK.

The prince, who is a captain in Jordan's military, has an international history degree from Georgetown, a highly regarded American university.
