Royal Wedding Drama: Meghan Markle Snubbed, Kate Middleton Invited

The Jordan Royal family is gearing up for a grand celebration next week as Crown Prince Hussein, the eldest son of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, prepares to marry his long-term girlfriend Rajwa al-Saif.

The highly anticipated wedding, scheduled for June 1st, has already attracted a prestigious guest list, with royals from around the world confirming their attendance at Zahram Palace for the ceremony and later at the expansive al-Hasluna Palace for the reception.

Among the VIP guests expected to grace the event are Crown Prince Frederick and Princess Mary of Denmark, as well as Japan's Princess Isako and Princess Suguko.

Notably, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales have also received invitations.

However, speculation looms over whether Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be among the guests invited to witness the union.

Rajwa al-Saif, the bride-to-be, hails from Saudi Arabia and is an architect by profession.

Sources reveal that Rajwa's connection to Meghan Markle stems from their mutual acquaintance with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed, who reportedly gifted Meghan a controversial ring.

Reports suggest that Meghan and Rajwa crossed paths at a party in the past, leading to rumors of strained relations between the two women.

With Rajwa set to become the future queen of Jordan, questions arise about Meghan's intentions to mend any perceived rift and elevate her social standing.

The British royal family shares a close bond with their Jordanian counterparts, evident from King Abdullah and Queen Rainier's presence at King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation earlier this year.

Queen Rainier, who wed King Abdullah in 1993, expressed admiration for the late Princess Diana during her visit to the UK for the queen's funeral.

Both Rainier and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, share a commitment to children's welfare and are poised to ascend to the role of queen consort in the future.

Kate Middleton's ties to Jordan run deep, as her family relocated to the country when she was just a toddler.

Reflecting on her fond memories, William, Duke of Cambridge, recounted Kate's affection for Jordan during a visit hosted by Crown Prince Hussein in 2018.

The couple's visit to Jordan included a trip to the ancient ruins of Jersash, where Kate had previously posed with Crown Prince Hussein in a photograph released by the Middleton family.

In a heartwarming gesture, Kensington Palace disclosed that William and Kate had taken their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – on a holiday to Jordan in 2021, honoring William's promise to bring the kids back to the country.

As preparations for Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa's wedding reach a crescendo, the royal connections and personal histories intertwined in this momentous occasion underscore the enduring bonds between royal families across the globe.
