Princess Rajwa and Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan are counting down the days until the arrival of their baby.

The pregnancy was first announced by the Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan in April, making the royal baby the first grandchild for Hussein's parents, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania.

Saudi-born architect Rajwa has made a number of appearances throughout her pregnancy, including at King Abdullah's Silver Jubilee.

Red has been a consistent theme in her pregnancy style for Rajwa. Just weeks after the Royal Hashemite Court announced the couple's happy news, she celebrated her 30th birthday. Crown Prince Hussein shared this gorgeous photograph of his wife in a red shirt dress and statement gold earrings. It marked Rajwa's first appearance since her pregnancy news was announced.

The royal mum-to-be looked absolutely stunning in a bespoke red embellished gown by Saudi designer Honayda Serafi to celebrate her father-in-law King Abdullah's Silver Jubilee in June. Its geometric embroidery featured the colours of the Jordanian flag as well as silver threads in a nod to the king's 25th year of his reign.
