Jordanian Prince marries Saudi Princess
Jordan's Prince Hashem on Saturday welcomed guests to the Royal Court, where King Abdullah hosted lunch for tribal and refugee camp leaders, journalists, diplomats, senior officials and officers in celebration of Prince Hashem's marriage to Princess Fahdah, daughter of Sheikh Mohammad Ben Ibrahim Ben Suleiman Abu Niyyan. The Monarch and other Royal family members also welcomed guests from Saudi Arabia and Oman. A captain in the Jordan Arab Army's 3rd Royal Rangers Battalion, Prince Hashem, born in 1981, obtained last year his undergraduate degree in comparative studies from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Services. He is the son of King Hussein and Queen Nour. (Photo by Yousef Allan)
