Ex-President Uhuru attends Jordan crown prince’s royal wedding

NAIROBI, Kenya Jun 3 – Former President Uhuru Kenyatta was among the notable guests who attended the Royal wedding of Jordan Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein Bin Abdallah II and Miss Rajwah Khalid Alseif at Al Husseinieh Palace.

The Office of the former President shared photos of him attending the wedding that took place in the mid-century Zahran Palace in the capital Amman.

It was the scene of other key Hashemite kingdom weddings including that of King Abdullah II to Queen Rania and also that of the monarch’s father, the late King Hussein bin Talal.

The king’s eldest son and Al Saif, both aged 28, tied the knot at a ceremony attended by their families and 140 guests, including US First Lady Jill Biden and Britain’s Prince and Princess of Wales, who made a surprise appearance.

King Abdullah II, aged 61 and on the throne since 1999, has long groomed his eldest son to succeed him, bringing him on important visits and to meetings, former information minister Samih Maaytah previously told AFP.

Prince Hussein became heir to the throne in 2009 after his father removed the title from his half-brother Hamzah in 2004.
