Earlier this week, Queen Rania’s daughter-in-law also paid a visit to Princess Eugenie at the Springfield University Mental Health Hospital, where they were able to see the facilities designed by a group of international artists who collaborate with the public health system to provide patients with more welcoming spaces in which to recover.
Although her European tour had begun in Paris, there is no better place for Rajwa than the Windsors’ England to learn how to navigate the world of international relations.
Jordan and the United Kingdom have been linked by close diplomatic ties for decades, and so have their respective royal families, bound by a solid friendship that has lasted three generations. The grandparents of Prince William and Prince Hussein, Queen Elizabeth and King Hussein, ascended to the throne of their countries in the same year (1952) and met many times during their reigns until the latter’s death in 1999. King Abdullah did part of his studies in the United Kingdom, a country from which his mother, Princess Muna, also came, and the same can be said of Prince Hussein himself, who like many of the members of the British royal family (including William) trained at the Sandhurst military academy.
