Princess Catherine, Prince William Celebrate Heartwarming News As Royals Welcome New Baby
Much has changed in the year since Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan married Princess Rajwa at Zahran Palace in Amman in front of 140 guests. The couple’s lavish ceremonies saw royals from across the globe, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, gathering to watch the Saudi architect walk down the aisle in a custom Elie Saab wedding dress. Two people who could not hide their reactions were Prince William and Princess Catherine, who spoke to the bride and groom after their ceremony. Known to be close friends of the couple, the Waleses are likely to be delighted by the first baby girl named Iman in the news today.
On this happy occasion, the Royal Hashemite Court extends its sincere congratulations and best wishes to Their Royal Highnesses and to Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah. Their Royal Highnesses are immensely overjoyed and thankful on welcoming their firstborn and call on well-wishers to consider donating to the Al Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans in lieu of sending gifts or flowers. We wonder whether Princess Rajwa will receive any beautiful gifts from her husband for this special day.
As for Prince William, following the birth of each of their children, he gave his wife a “push present” to mark the occasion. Catherine had fans buzzing when she showed off at one high-profile event watched by millions of people around the world. To celebrate the birth of their first child, Prince George, Prince William gifted the princess several pieces of jewelry, including a beautiful necklace with their son’s full name engraved on it, and a 23-carat diamond and 18-karat white gold ring from Annoushka, which cost around $155,000 at the time.
After the arrival of Princess Charlotte, Catherine was seen wearing a beautiful pair of green amethyst and green tourmaline earrings, known to be a push present from William, designed by Kiki McDonough. The earrings have an estimated price tag of around $45,000. Royal watchers saw she sported a ring at Prince Harry’s wedding, which took place less than a month after Louis was born in 2018. They went crazy over a push present that the princess received from William to honor the birth of Prince Louis—a citrine ring. Though a beautiful ring, it’s more affordable than you might think, likely worth around $1,300 to $2,500.
Sharing heartwarming news, this is an opportunity for the royal mother of three, Catherine, to share her experiences with royal friends, especially in a very different way of bringing up their children, marking a significant departure from the traditional royal upbringing. As proud parents of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, William and Catherine are determined to provide their children with a semblance of normality despite their central position in the monarchy and consequently in the public eye.
Whether it’s taking her children to school, participating in outdoor activities, or being involved in the day-to-day routines, Catherine is committed to ensuring that the trio experiences the joys and challenges of childhood just like any other children their age. Born into middle-class families and educated in public schools, Catherine experienced a childhood far removed from the royal spotlight. She has previously shown that she frequently takes her children on nature walks and encourages them to explore the world around them.
It’s said that the mother of three will likely make the journey to Scotland this summer so her family can spend time with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Balmoral. The Wales family also has a helpful support network around her, including her mother, which an insider says has proven to be a sign of strength following her cancer diagnosis earlier in the year. Catherine Middleton is known to be very close with her eldest daughter and was branded a real Mary Poppins-like figure to her grandchildren. Clearly, Catherine has been influenced by her own parents and her softer approach to raising the trio, ensuring that they are wrapped in a bubble of love.
The parenting approach of the Waleses is markedly different from that of the late Queen Elizabeth and her son King Charles, who prioritized his work over his young children. Despite this, Prince William holds no grudges against his parents for their choices. He respects his father’s commitment to his duties. However, the Prince of Wales acknowledges that his father’s work-centric approach negatively affected him during his formative years and strained their relationship.
