Princess Rajwa and Crown Prince Hussein attend World Cup qualifier, marking her return to public life following the birth of their first child, Princess Iman

Princess Rajwa Al-Hussein made her much-anticipated return to the public eye on Tuesday evening, just over two months after giving birth to her first child, Princess Iman bint Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II. Accompanied by her husband, Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, the royal couple was seen attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match in support of Jordan’s national football team.

The pair, casually dressed in coordinating black outfits, were spotted cheering for the Jordanian team at Amman International Stadium as they faced off against Oman. This marked Princess Rajwa’s first official appearance since the birth of Princess Iman on August 3, 2024, and her presence at the match sparked excitement among fans, who have closely followed her journey into motherhood.

The birth of Princess Iman was a celebrated event in Jordan, with the Royal Hashemite Court releasing an official statement: “The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein were blessed, on 3 August 2024, with a baby girl they named Iman.”

Princess Rajwa’s return to the public spotlight comes at a time of joy for the Jordanian royal family, following a year of significant milestones. At the birth of his first grandchild, King Abdullah II shared a heartfelt message on social media. His tribute, translated from Arabic, read: “I thank God for giving us our first granddaughter Iman bint Hussein. I congratulate beloved Hussein and Rajwa on their newborn. We ask God to raise her well and protect her for her parents. You have lit up our family.”

The birth of Princess Iman adds another chapter to the royal family’s growing legacy. Jordan’s royal family has always commanded public attention, and Princess Rajwa, a poised and elegant figure, has embraced her role as a new mother while maintaining a steady presence in royal duties. Her appearance at the football match was seen as a symbolic return, underscoring her support for national events and her commitment to her responsibilities alongside her husband.

Princess Rajwa, who celebrated her 30th birthday in April this year, has drawn admiration for her grace and strength during a challenging period. Earlier this year, she mourned the loss of her father, the late Saudi businessman Khalid bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al-Saif, who passed away in January. Her father was a prominent figure in Saudi Arabia, and his death was a significant moment for the Al-Hussein family. Princess Rajwa, the daughter of Azza bint Nayef Abdulaziz Ahmad Al-Sudairi, has remained a steady presence in the public sphere, even while navigating her personal challenges.

As the Jordanian national team fought for qualification in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Princess Rajwa’s appearance at the match was a reminder of the royal family’s deep connection to their people. Both she and Crown Prince Hussein were fully engaged, applauding and encouraging the team from the stands. Their presence not only boosted the morale of the players but also served as a testament to their dedication to national pride.

Royal watchers and football fans alike were thrilled to see the couple together, particularly as Princess Rajwa returned to public life so soon after the birth of her daughter. The couple has continued to capture the hearts of many, with their shared moments at public events showcasing their united front.

As Princess Rajwa and Crown Prince Hussein continue to take on their roles as parents and public figures, their popularity and influence in Jordan remain strong. Princess Iman’s birth marks a new era for the royal family, and with Princess Rajwa stepping back into the public eye, the nation looks forward to seeing more of the royal family’s growing future.
