The royals are known for their cool, calm exteriors and traditional stiff upper lip. And in general, they’re a family with a lot to celebrate.
Here at HELLO! we like to focus on all the happy occasions, but there are of course, as in all of our lives, more trying times, particularly with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last September.
Take a look at the touching moments when the royals showed they’re just like the rest of us, and they couldn’t help let their emotions get the better of them.
Princess Rajwa was overcome with emotion at her henna party, as her mother-in-law, Queen Rania, paid a touching tribute to her new daughter-in-law. The Jordanian queen described Rajwa as “the sweetest and most beautiful bride-to-be”, adding that she is as precious to her as her daughters Princesses Iman and Salma.
“I’ll never forget how happy His Majesty and I were when Al Hussein told us he wanted to marry Rajwa. She is the perfect answer to all my prayers for him,” Rania reflected, before wishing the couple a blessed and happy future.
“May you always be each other’s source of happiness and support,” she said.
Architect Rajwa Al Saif married King Abdullah and Queen Rania’s eldest son, Crown Prince Hussein, during a beautiful wedding ceremony and banquet on 1 June, which was attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
