The Princes of Wales, William and Catherine, head the list of European heirs attending the wedding of Hussein of Jordan and Rajwa Al Saif. The future kings of Europe, except Princess Eleanor, for being still a minor, and Princess Amalia of the Netherlands, who has not finally accompanied her parents to the wedding, have met in Amman. It is also the first time that the British heir and his wife represent the British royal family in a celebration together with other royal houses, a role that, at other royal weddings, was carried out by the current Charles III.
On the guest list, in the absence of Princess Eleanor, still a minor, are the aforementioned Guillermo and Catalina, as well as the crown princes Victoria and Daniel of Sweden, Federico and Mary of Denmark; Haakon from Norway; Elizabeth of Belgium, who is accompanied by her father, King Philip. Although she was on the official guest list, Princess Amalia of the Netherlands has not finally accompanied her parents, Kings Guillermo and Máxima, as well as the princes of Liechtenstein, Alois and SofÃa.
Also present at the wedding are representatives of the royal houses of Japan, Malaysia and the Gulf countries, as well as representatives of non-reigning royal houses such as those of Romania, Bulgaria and Greece. Luxembourg has chosen to send Prince Sebastian, since he studied at the same time as the Jordanian heir at the Sandhurst military academy in the United Kingdom. The first lady of the United States, Jill Biden, assimilated into the royal families and present at other monarchical milestones, such as the coronation of Carlos III, is also in Jordan as a guest at the link.
The presence of the European heirs, such as that of the wife of the president of the United States, is not only a matter of courtesy but a geopolitical measure, with which Jordan receives, once again, Western approval, as a key country and ally in the stability of the Middle East.
