King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan hosted a lavish Reception for 800 at the Raghadan Palace on this day in 1999, ahead of a ‘Red Motorcade’ through Amman to celebrate their Enthronement, a few months after King Abdullah’s Accession to the Jordanian Throne.
The Enthronement Celebrations began with a Parade which passed through the courtyard of the Raghadan Palace, where a Reception was held for 800 dignitaries, including much of the extended Jordanian Royal Family.
King Abdullah II also hosted an Investiture at the Raghadan Palace, during which Queen Rania (wearing Queen Alia’s Cartier Tiara) was bestowed the Order of Al-Hussein bin Ali, Jordan’s highest Order.
King Abdullah II and Queen Rania then travelled in a convoy of eight bright red armed Land Rovers, termed the Red Motorcade, through the streets of Amman
In 2009, Queen Rania wore her Boucheron Bracelet Bandeau for a splendid Ceremony in Amman to mark the 10th Anniversary of King Abdullah’s Accession of the Jordanian Throne, which was followed by a motorcade procession through the streets of Amman.

I don’t see Queen Noor in the pictures. Is it traditional for the wife of the late king to not attend the enthronement of the new king?
On the occasion of celebrating the 21st Anniversary of His Majesty King Abdullah Ⅱ of Jordan’s accession to the throne, May prosperity of Kingdom, Royal Family and the people of Jordan continue to reign.
