Kate Middleton and Prince William had a special reunion at Windsor Castle with another future king and queen.
Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan visited with the Prince and Princess of Wales on Wednesday, Oct. 15, as they spent a few days in the U.K. The two couples marked their get-together in Windsor with a photo featuring them all standing in a line and smiling.
Royal heirs Prince William, 43, and Crown Prince Hussein, 31, sported suits and ties for the meeting, while the women put their own spin on trousers. Princess Kate, 43, wore a khaki suit with a white blouse underneath, while Princess Rajwa, 31, wore a white button-down shirt with a strapless black vest and wide-leg pants.
William and Kate memorably attended the Jordanian royal couple’s wedding on June 1, 2023, sharing a quick chat after the ceremony and, after an outfit change for all, exchanging a few more words at the banquet later that night.
