WOW! QN was there! I am so happy. (Where was Hashim?) I really like all the pics especially the one where QN and PMuna is sitting next to each other and the family pic. But it is telling that PMUna is front and center. But I am glad they did show respect to QN. Anyway I a very happy occassion indeed!

it seemed a lovely wedding. it's a pity we dont have any other pictures. i was surprised by all the royal families in attendance, specially if it's not a mediatised (sp?) wedding...

[Reina]

I thought htat was him. PHassan is very popular with alot of the RF's in Europe, so I guess it is understandable that alot are there.

Queen noor wore that dress many times, and I hope princess noor didn't wear the same red outfit as she wore on Jordan's independence day!!
Anyway, all the family is there, that's what matters.
I love QRania' outfit, specially the skirt***

Many royal guests, Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco, Princess Benedikte of Denmark, Prince Kardam and Princess Miriam of Bulgaria, The Aga Khan, Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien of The Netherlands, Prince Maurits, Prince Bernhard, Princess Annette, Prince Pieter Christiaan and his fiancee Anita van Eyck and Prince Floris and his fiancee Aimee Sohngen from The Netherlands, Prince Jean, Prince Guillaume, Princess Sibilla and Prince Felix of Luxembourg, Prince Bernhard and Princess Stefanie of Baden, quite a turnout!!

[shy]

Am afraid Princess Noor wore the same red outfit. I've just seen it on tv and it looks really good, every1 looked really nice. I must say i was very surprised to see QN and all her childern at this wedding in particular, sitting next to PS. Anyway i think it was really nice to see every1 there i just wonder what they all wore for the evening reception?!

Yea I saw them I was wondering how he looked on TV
Thanks :)

I knew a lot of foreign royals would show up. I think most of us know of Prince Hassan's close ties and friendships with many royal houses.
I was glad that Princess Beneditke of Denmark was present which is good because no one from the JRF was at the wedding of Mary and Frederik and in return I didnt see any Danish royals at the wedding of Prince Hamzah.
I was hoping this didnt mean that the relationship between the two families had been permanantly damaged, esp. since King Hussein and Queen Noor seemed so friendly with the members of the Danish royal family on their state visit in 1998.

[Humera]

btw..I think Rania is wearing the outfit she wore earlier this month on her trip to Bahrain during a reception. I saw only one picture of the event and even then I could only see her back.

[Humera]

Does anyone think that's Princess Iman in this pic sitting behind Rania (on her left)?

I also wish I could see a better picture of Princess Ghida. She looks very pretty and seems to be wearing a lovely outfit.
Those of you who saw the wedding on tv, did you see Prince Ali and Princess Rym?

[princessvalondra]

I really like her dress!

Thanks for the lovely pics, Humera. I was shocked to see Queen Noor, particularly because of recent rumours of her 'ouster', the whole thing with Hamza, and the historical bad blood between her and Princess S. I'm glad she was there and that she was accorded the appropriate dignity.

[Humera]

You're welcome.
Yes this wedding seems to have brought everyone together. I mentioned the Danish princess before. Same with Noor. She wasn't at Ali or Haya's weddings but she showed up at this one. I guess Hassan and Sarvath are not the type to hold a grudge. Good for them.

I think a lot of this has been overblown. QN has never been ousted from Jordan. Many of the reports of strife between QN and P. Sarvath had their origins in the 1999 succession change and the reports out of Jordan at that time. We now know many of those reports to be erroneous. I'm not trying to whitewash the situation, but I think both of these people are family-oriented and wise enough to know that it is important to rally around for the big occasions, to show some family solidarity, and to do their best to move on from the events of late 1998 and early 1999, which was probably a nightmarish time for all concerned.

I like lists, so I have organized the guest list, plus added questions in brackets.

Prince Bernhard Jr. and Princess Annette (I did not see her; where was she standing in this picture http://www.petra.gov.jo/nepras/2005/Jun/24/4682I.jpg)
Prince Pieter Christiaan and his fiancee Anita van Eyck
Prince Floris and his fiancee Aimee Sohngen from The Netherlands
Prince Jean
Prince Guillaume and Princess Sibilla
rince Felix of Luxembourg (I think it was Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, not his younger brother Felix)

Quite the Dutch royal turnout -- what is the connection between the Dutch royals and Prince Hassan and Princess Sarvath and their daughter? (I am assuming that the Dutch royal connection is through them rather than through the groom or his family.)

The bride's dress was beautiful; she looks quite a lot like her mother, who was beautiful in her peach-coloured ensemble.

I cannot see what the other royal ladies are wearing, but is it just me or does Rania's outfit look out of place? It's a beautiful outfit, don't get me wrong (love the turquoise/blue skirt), but Noor, Lalla Salma and Sarvath seem to be wearing more traditional Middle Eastern attire;Benedikte, Miriam, the groom's mother, Sybilla, Aimee and Anita seem to be wearing suits or dresses with jackets, while Rania seems to be wearing something like casual evening attire. (Reminds me of what she wore to the Spanish royal wedding in lieu of a jacket and skirt or dress.)
