Rajwa’s father graduated from the American University of Beirut with a degree in Civil Engineering and was the founder of El Seif Engineering Contracting, according to a press package distributed at the time of the Princess and Crown Prince Hussein’s royal wedding.

Hussein and Rajwa got engaged in August 2022 at the home of her father in Riyadh. The couple tied the knot last June in an Islamic marriage ceremony held at Zahran Palace. Both the Princess’ dad and mom, Azza bint Nayef Abdulaziz Ahmad Al Sudairi, were in attendance.
