Princess Rajwa has undertaken her first public engagement since the birth of her daughter back in August. The Jordanian princess was spotted in the crowd alongside husband, Crown Prince Hussein, as Jordan took on Oman in a football match.

The royal couple were delighted as their home country triumphed over Oman, thrashing their team 4-0. The match was played as Jordan vies to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which would be the first World Cup that the middle eastern nation has ever qualified for.

The royal couple rocked a casual look as they cheered on the Jordanian team, with Rajwa looking splendid in a black dress, while Hussein styled out a black ensemble, complete with a jacket that bore the national flag of Jordan.

The couple's joint appearance marked Rajwa's first public outing since she welcomed her daughter, Princess Iman, on 3 August.

The news was shared by the Royal Hashemite Court's social media pages, with a caption reading: "His Highness Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, the guardian of the covenant, allows in the ear of his birth, her Highness Princess Iman bint Hussein, led by the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."

The royal mum was seen leaving hospital five days later, stepping out in a patterned white dress as she departed with her newborn and husband.

Following their departure, Hussein shared: "Heartfelt thanks to the dedicated personnel of the Royal Medical Services for their exceptional care over Rajwa and Iman during the past few days."

The little bundle of joy has been welcomed with plenty of love by the Jordanian royal family and hours after her birth, grandmother Queen Rania shared several sweet family photos.
