Princess Raiyah of Jordan Gets Married

Princess Raiyah of Jordan married Mr. Ned Donovan, who is a British journalist and the grandson of beloved children's author Roald Dahl and Oscar-winning actress Patricia Neal.

The newlyweds said "I do" in England on Tuesday. Queen Noor, attended the ceremony and was able to celebrate her daughter's special day.

The 34-year-old princess explained that she originally planned to tie the knot in April, but had to change her date due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. In fact, this marks the first royal wedding since the COVID-19 outbreak.

"While it was originally planned for April in Jordan, the pandemic derailed those plans and it was safer for my husband's family to hold it in the U.K," Princess Raiyah said in her Twitter post. "God willing we look forward to celebrating in Jordan once the situation allows."

The news of Princess Raiyah and Ned's wedding comes less than a year after they got engaged. At the time, the Royal Hashemite Court announced the exciting and special news in a statement.
