Prince William and Kate attend Jordan's royal wedding.

Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate made a surprise appearance at the royal wedding of Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein and his Saudi Arabian bride, Rajwa Alseif. The wedding emphasizes continuity in an Arab state prized for its longstanding stability and introduces Hussein to a wider global audience. The celebration buttresses the royal family's order of succession, refreshes its image after a palace feud, and may even help resource-poor Jordan forge a strategic bond with its oil-rich neighbor, Saudi Arabia.
