Wedding of Princess Raiyah bint Hussein of Jordan

Princess Raiyah bint Hussein of Jordan, youngest daughter of the late King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan, married Faris Ned Donovan, a grandson of Roald Dahl, at Buckhurst Park in Windsor, Queen Noor’s home, in the United Kingdom. Only Queen Noor, the Donovan Family, and the Jordanian Ambassador to Britain were present at the traditional Islamic Nikah ceremony, which was originally supposed to have been in Jordan in April, but was delayed due to the ongoing pandemic. Princess Raiyah is currently a PhD candidate in pre-modern Japanese literature at UCLA, while Mr Donovan is a prominent journalist. The press release states:

With the blessings of HM King Abdullah II, Her Royal Highness Princess Raiyah bint Al Hussein married Mr Faris Ned Donovan, in the United Kingdom. Her Majesty Queen Noor, Jordan’s Ambassador to the UK Omar Nahar, and the Donovan family attended the brief ceremony, held in accordance with lockdown regulations due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.”
