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.

Woah! Badiya finally wore a vaguely fashionableoutfit. Idon't like the red but the cut and style is great, it would have looked better with capris though imho.

I like the pale blue strapless dress. It's certainly better than this red one.
 
Al Hassan family is so close to the danish royal family.
