Is Princess Badiya the youngest of the three daughters of Prince Hassan?

Yes eliza. Princess Badiya el Hassan born born on the 28th of March 1974; Princess Sumaya born 14th May 1971 and Princess Rahma born August 13th, 1969

Are they all married now

Only Princess Rahma and Princess Sumaya are married. Princess Rahma married Alaa Batanyeh and they have one daughter. Princess Sumaya married Nasser Judeh and they have four children, two sons and two daughters. Princess Badiya is engaged to Khalid Blair and they are expected to be married sometime in June/July.

Thanx for the info. Is there any info on the grooms available, like what are teir jobs what families they come from. Do the grooms claim descendance from the Prophet as well?

Info about Mr. Alaa Batayneh (husband of Princess Rahma)

Alaa Batayneh was born in Amman in 1969, the eldest son of HE Senator Dr. Arif Batayneh, formerly Member of the Lower House of Parliament, Minister of Health and Director General of the Royal Medical Services.

Mr. Batayneh holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Management Information Systems from The George Washington University. After working in the USA and in the UK, he returned to Jordan to work in the private sector where he was running a consultancy company. Mr. Batayneh was married to Princess Rahma Bint Hassan in July 1997

Currently, Mr. Batayneh is the Secretary General of the Jordanian Ministry of Transport and has been since March 2000. He is also;

- Chairman of the board of "Arab Bridge Maritime Company"
- Chairman of "UN-ESCWA MEA Government Transportation Committee"
- Member of the board of "Royal Jordanian Airlines"
- Member of the board of "The Ports Corporation"
- Member of the board of "National Tourism Council" - Member of the board of "Arab Ship Management Limited"

Info. about Mr. Naser Judeh isn't available as yet.

None of the grooms come from the Royal Family, thus don't claim descendence to the Prophet.

Does anyone know where she and Ed went on honeymoon?

I will correct myself and say that pic of herself and Ed with KA does look like her. Others I have seen posted here are not fair on her.

I agree. She is a pretty young lady. However, I think she seems to lead a rather private life so I don't think we will see much about her once the wedding bruhaha is over.

P. Badiya and Edward Blair have known each other for a number of years. I believe they met in London, where they now live.

I noticed that on P. Hassan's website the husbands of the other princesses were listed as 'Excellency' as in 'His Excellency'. Is this a normal title for a Princess's consort in Jordan and does Khalid have this title also?

Thank you lovy bear. It's always a great pleasure for me to see princess badiya. She's beautiful.

It's nice to see Badiya out and about but I really don't like her lengha, it's incredibly old-fashioned in style and just looks like something you get in one of the shops on the Broadway.

Sorry Little_star, can you explain what is a lengha ? thanx :flowers:

Sorry!

A lengha is a traditional outfit worn in Pakistan/India. It comprises of a top/blouse, a long skirt and a dupatta (scarf). It's usually worn on weddings by the bride. There are lots of different styles and ways to wear it.
