She’s the daughter of a wealthy Saudi businessman
Rajwa is the daughter of Khalid bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al Saif and his wife, Azza bint Nayef Abdulaziz Ahmed Al Sudairi. According to British media, her father is CEO of the Al Saif Group, a privately owned company that provides healthcare, construction and security services.

After attending high school in Saudi Arabia, Rajwa moved to New York and studied at Syracuse University’s College of Architecture.
The soon-to-be bride princess also holds a professional designation degree in visual communications from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.

“Excited to welcome my third daughter, Al Hussein’s bride-to-be, Rajwa, to the family! We’re so happy for you both,” the Jordanian monarch wrote on her Instagram.
Rajwa is perhaps already taking fashion notes from her future mum-in-law, as the 28-year-old donned designer pieces for her engagement shoot. Per the National News, the princess-to-be even borrowed the queen’s pair of Stephen Webster white gold and yellow diamond earrings.
She’s expected to take on royal duties
Since Crown Prince Hussein is first in line to the Jordanian throne, Rajwa will most likely have more responsibilities on her plate. Hussein currently heads the Crown Prince Foundation and hosts other royals during their tours of the Middle East.
