The bride wore her family’s traditional dress, an elegant white dress by Lebanese designer Elie Saab, and arrived at Zahran Palace in a 1968 Rolls-Royce Phantom V custom-made for the crown prince’s late great-grandmother.
On the other hand, Prince arrived in full military uniform with a gold-hilted saber. The wedding kept the Muslim tradition called “katb al-ketab.” The crowd went crazy when the couple signed the marriage papers and received large applause from their people.
The wedding became a highlighting news when famous figures arrived such as Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate, as well as US First Lady Jill Biden.
Apart from them, other notable figures are the Netherlands’ King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, as well as Belgium’s King Philippe and Crown Princess Elisabeth and Danish Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary.
