There was another royal wedding in Jordan! King Abdullah II's niece Princess Aisha bint Feisal married Kareem Al Mufti on Monday, May 12, at Zahran Palace. The King of Jordan, along with his sons Crown Prince Hussein and Prince Hashem, and His Majesty's mother, Princess Muna Al Hussein, were among the royal family members who attended the ceremony in Amman.
"The Royal Hashemite Court extends its heartfelt congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess Aisha bint Feisal and Mr. Kareem Al Mufti, and wishes them a lifetime of happiness," Queen Rania's office said.
Princess Aisha bint Feisal is the daughter of the King's brother Prince Faisal bin Hussein and Princess Alia. For her big day, the bride wore a gown by Phillipa Lepley. HOLA! USA's sister brand HELLO! reported that the Princess completed her look with the Peau de Soie pleated overskirt and hand-embroidered tulle capelet, which was "embroidered with maiden’s fern leaves, silk appliqué primroses, satin stitch orchids and violets, all embellished with ivory pearls and tiny glass crystals."
The Princess teamed her wedding dress with the same diamond tiara that her older sister Princess Ayah wore on her wedding day in 2014. Ayah celebrated her sister's wedding on May 12, writing on Instagram: "It is with great joy that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my beloved sister, HRH Princess Aisha bint Faisal, on the occasion of her marriage to Mr. Kareem Al-Mufti.May God bless their union, unite them in harmony and grace, and grant them a life filled with love, and enduring happiness."
Aisha and Kareem's engagement was announced last June. Per Tatler, the groom studied at King’s Academy alongside Crown Prince Hussein, and the two were classmates at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Zahran Palace has played host to another royal wedding in recent years. Crown Prince Hussein and his wife Princess Rajwa tied the knot there in June of 2023. The palace is also where the Crown Prince's parents, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, got married in 1993.
Zahran Palace was built in the 1950s. It was the home of His Majesty's grandmother, Queen Mother Zain Al Sharaf, until her passing in 1994. According to the Royal Hashemite Court, Zahran is now dedicated to official royal functions.
