Princess Rajwa of Jordan marked a significant milestone in her role as a future queen with her first official visit to the United Kingdom, joining Princess Eugenie<\/a> for a joint engagement in London on Monday. Rajwa<\/a> visited Springfield University Hospital at South West London and St George\u2019s Mental Health NHS trust with Eugenie.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe viewed a number of artworks created as part of an initiative by the charity Hospital Rooms, which integrates art into mental health care environments,\u201d Eugenie wrote on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cTheir mission is to commission leading international artists to produce permanent, high-quality works for mental health wards across the UK\u2019s National Health Service, helping create welcoming and uplifting spaces for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the occasion, Rajwa wore a silk dress by Giada Montenapoleone and carried a leather bag by Dries Van Noten, while Eugenie was dressed for London\u2019s autumn weather in a black cardigan with Penelope Chilvers boots and a silk Ralph Lauren skirt<\/a>. After the hospital visit, the princesses went to Hauser & Wirth Contemporary Art Gallery. Eugenie has worked as a director<\/a> at the gallery since 2017.<\/p>\n

The Jordanian royal family has close ties to the Windsors. Princess Eugenie\u2019s sister and brother-in-law, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi<\/a>, attended Rajwa and Hussein\u2019s royal wedding<\/a> two years ago, as did the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only was it Princess Rajwa\u2019s first solo engagement with members of the British royal family, but it was also her first official working trip to Europe. The Princess arrived with her husband, Crown Prince Hussein, in Paris last week<\/a>, where the couple met with President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron at the \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace.<\/p>\n
