Princess Iman of Jordan, the beloved second child and eldest daughter of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, embarked on a new chapter in her life as she exchanged vows with her fiancé, Jamil Alexander Thermitossian, in a heartwarming ceremony on Sunday.
The radiant couple, set to make their home in the bustling city of New York, was joined in matrimony in a celebration filled with love and tradition.
In a touching display of familial support, Princess Iman was escorted down the aisle by her elder brother, Crown Prince Hussein, in accordance with alleged Muslim customs.
She graced the occasion adorned in a dazzling tiara, sparking speculation that it may have belonged to her mother, Queen Rania.
Her attire, including a custom Dior wedding gown, exuded elegance and sophistication, capturing the essence of a modern fairytale.
The proud matriarch, Queen Rania, took to her Instagram account to share glimpses of the joyous occasion, showcasing not only the enchanting wedding ceremony but also the pre-wedding festivities, including Princess Iman's hen party.
The bride's flawless dress and veil, meticulously crafted to perfection, left onlookers in awe, with not a single wrinkle in sight – a sartorial masterpiece that could rival any royal affair.
A subtle nod was made towards Meghan Markle, hinting at the impeccable tailoring that defined Princess Iman's bridal look.
Amidst the celebrations, revelations surfaced regarding the tumultuous dynamics within the royal family, particularly involving the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William.
Once hailed as the “Fab Four” alongside their respective spouses, Meghan Markle and Catherine, tensions began to emerge leading up to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's nuptials in May 2018.
Reports of disagreements over various aspects of the wedding arrangements, including the choice of tiara and attire for the bridesmaid, painted a picture of underlying strain.
Meghan Markle's choice of attire for her royal wedding, a simple yet elegant boat-neck dress designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, drew attention for its stark white hue.
Contrary to traditional expectations, the Queen expressed surprise at Meghan's decision to don pure white, suggesting a departure from established norms where off-white is preferred for individuals with prior marriages.
This divergence in sartorial choices sparked debates and raised eyebrows within royal circles.
The aftermath of the royal weddings saw public figures weighing in on the fashion choices of the newlywed duchesses, with American Idol judge Katy Perry offering her candid opinions.
In a playful yet pointed critique, Perry remarked on the need for additional fittings for Meghan's dress, juxtaposing it with her admiration for Catherine's bridal ensemble by Alexander McQueen.
The lighthearted banter inadvertently stirred controversy, leading to tensions between Meghan and Perry, as the former reportedly harbored lingering resentment towards the comment.
As the world witnessed the union of Princess Iman and Jamil Alexander Thermitossian, the monarchy faced scrutiny over the royal titles bestowed upon Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet.
Critics raised objections to the privileges granted to the young royals, highlighting discrepancies in the official announcements made by Buckingham Palace.
Notably, comparisons were drawn between the formalities surrounding Archie and Lilibet's titles and the grandeur associated with Prince Edward's ennoblement, underscoring a nuanced portrayal of royal traditions and protocols.
