During an official visit to the United Kingdom, Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein and his wife, Princess Rajwa, met with the Prince and Princess of Wales. The reception took place at Windsor Castle and was not only a significant diplomatic event but also a true runway, where two style icons showcased entirely different approaches to fashion.
Kate Middleton remained true to her impeccable and restrained image. For the meeting, she chose an elegant beige pantsuit by Roland Mouret. This outfit is a striking example of her signature style, as the Princess of Wales often opts for such ensembles. Just a few days earlier, she was seen in a green suit by Victoria Beckham, and before that—in a ‘Prince of Wales’ print outfit by Bella Freud. This time, she complemented her look not with a simple top, but with a sophisticated bow-tie blouse—a subtle nod to the timeless style of Princess Diana. The ensemble was completed with gold Celia heels by Ralph Lauren and Temple of Heaven earrings by Cassandra Goad.
For her part, Princess Rajwa followed in the footsteps of her mother-in-law, Queen Rania, known for her love of bold fashion choices. She defied traditional conventions and opted for an avant-garde look. Her choice was a white Alexander McQueen jumpsuit featuring wide-leg trousers and a striking black corset with a double row of buttons, worn over a white blouse. The look was finished with new accessories: a Le Teckel bag by Alaïa and vibrant red Ascent 85 slingback heels by Gianvito Rossi.
This encounter clearly illustrated how differently the royal dress code can be interpreted. While Kate Middleton embodies British elegance and a commitment to tradition, Rajwa showcases a modern and bolder approach to fashion. Both princesses looked stunning, proving that the key is the ability to express one’s individuality through clothing while still respecting protocol.
