Princess Katherine and Prince William recently extended their heartfelt and touching congratulations to their close friends, Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Raja of Jordan, who have just welcomed a new royal baby into the world.

A year has passed since Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan married Princess Raja at Zahran Palace in Amman, a grand occasion witnessed by 140 esteemed guests. The lavish ceremony drew royals from around the world, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, who were present to celebrate the union. The event was marked by the stunning sight of the Saudi architect, Princess Raja, gracefully walking down the aisle in a custom-made Ellie Saab wedding dress.

The news of the royal birth was received with great excitement at Kensington Palace, where Prince William and Princess Katherine are currently spending time with their own young children. The couple, who have always cherished family values and the joy of parenthood, expressed their delight and sent their best wishes to Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Raja.

Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and his wife, Princess Raja, welcomed their first child, Princess Aman, on August 3rd, 2024, at the King Hussein Medical Center. The moment they left the hospital with their daughter on August 7th was captured on camera and quickly resonated with royal watchers worldwide. As they emerged from the hospital, Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Raja were seen smiling warmly, hand in hand with their baby girl.

This touching moment echoed the iconic scenes of Prince William and Princess Katherine introducing their first child, Prince George, to the world outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in London on July 23rd, 2013. Much like Hussein and Raja, William and Kate’s hospital exit was marked by the presence of media and cheering well-wishers. The couple took turns holding their newborn, sharing their joy with the public before William placed George in a car seat, buckled him into the back of their vehicle, and drove them home.

The birth of Princess Aman has brought immeasurable joy not only to Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Raja but also to the entire Jordanian royal family. The birth of Princess Aman naturally sparks curiosity about the gifts Princess Raja might receive from her husband to mark this special day. Drawing parallels, it’s interesting to note that Prince William has given his wife, Princess Katherine, meaningful gifts to celebrate the birth of each of their children.

After the birth of their first child, Prince George, William presented Katherine with several pieces of exquisite jewelry, including a necklace engraved with their son’s full name and a 23-carat diamond, and an 18-carat white gold ring from Mappin & Webb. When Princess Charlotte was born, Katherine was spotted wearing a beautiful pair of green amethyst and green tourmaline earrings, known to be a gift from William, designed by Kiki McDonough. Additionally, the birth of Prince Louis in 2018 had royal watchers abuzz with excitement over another gift, a citrine ring that William gave Katherine to honor Louis’s birth.

Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Raja have been close friends of the British royal family for many years, with a relationship built on mutual respect and shared values. The couple has maintained a close relationship with the Jordanian royals, bonding over shared experiences and their similar roles as heirs to their respective thrones.
