She accessorised the shimmering dress with a complementary shawl, white-gold Dior Bois de Rose bracelet and pink Gianvito Rossi pumps. On day two, she wore a strapless Armani Prive gown.

The couple's daughter, Princess Iman, was dressed in a white daisy-embroidered dress by French infants brand Tartine et Chocolat, with a pair of sandals by British high-street chain Next. For the first day of formal celebrations, Princess Rajwa wore a gold Tom Ford turtleneck gown with leopard print slingback pumps and a mini handbag by Dolce & Gabbana.

Watch: Jordan Crown Prince celebrates with team after historic World Cup qualification
There were unprecedented scenes at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in neighbouring Oman on Thursday, June 5. As Muslims prepared to celebrate the blessed occasion of Eid Al Adha, Jordan had more reasons to rejoice as they rewrote a slice of history. The Hashemite Kingdom qualified for the World Cup for the first time. Ali Olwan, the 25-year-old striker fired a hattrick as Jordan defeated hosts Oman 3-0. The victory moved them to 16 points. And their ticket to next year's showpiece in the United States, Canada and Mexico was confirmed after South Korea's 2-0 win against Iraq in Basra. The top two teams in each of the three Asian groups go straight to the World Cup, while those finishing third and fourth — the UAE and Qatar hold those slots in Group A — enter a fourth round of qualifiers. As Jordan celebrated this stellar achievement, no one was more happier than the team's "12th man", who has been the squad's pillar of support. Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein, an avid football lover, was in the stands to support the team. He later met the team following the match and the love, affection and respect was evident as the cheered the Crown Prince.
