It seems Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez won’t just have celebrities at their wedding—but royalty, too! Queen Rania of Jordan was spotted arriving in Venice ahead of the couple's star-studded nuptials. Her Majesty was photographed boarding a water taxi after landing at Venice Marco Polo Airport on Thursday, June 26.

Celebrities in superyachts sail into Venice this week for the three-day wedding party of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, despite irate locals who say the UNESCO city is no billionaire's playground. The tech magnate and journalist have reportedly invited about 200 guests to their multi-million dollar nuptials in the Italian city, which are expected to kick off on June 26 and end Saturday with a ceremony at a secret location.

The Queen of Jordan looked effortlessly chic, dressed down in a black three quarter sleeve top, matching cargo pants and shades. Rania's husband King Abdullah II, and none of their children—Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Iman, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem—were pictured with her in Venice.

The Queen has reportedly celebrated Jeff and Lauren in Italy before. Back in 2023, it was reported that Rania was among the guests at Jeff and Lauren's engagement party held on the billionaire's yacht, named Koru. A source told Page Six at the time that the party, which took place in the Amalfi Coast, was “intimate” with only a “small crowd” in attendance.

In addition to Rania, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady and Oprah Winfrey have all been sighted this week in Venice, where Jeff and Lauren will be tying the knot.

Ivanka took to her social media on Wednesday to share photos of herself, her husband and kids, Arabella, Joseph and Theodore, sightseeing in the city. "Da Venezia, con amore," President Donald Trump's daughter captioned the pictures.

The bride and groom were pictured arriving at the Aman Venice hotel on Wednesday. According to PEOPLE, Jeff and Lauren, who got engaged in 2023, are expected to marry in a black tie wedding ceremony on Friday, June 27. One source told the magazine that the multi-day festivities will kick off on Thursday, June 26, with "a casual welcome night at a closed cloister adjacent to Madonna dell'Orto church."
