The Princess We Love For Her Heart Of Gold: How Jordan’s King Aya’s Niece Proves Appearance Isn’t What Matters

While the most beautiful princess of Jordan, Haala bint al Hashim, continues to be highly talked about on the Web, we are talking about Aya bint al Faisal, 33 years old. In many official photos, Aya was next to the young Haala, and netizens unfamiliar with Hashemite genealogy were puzzled, suggesting the woman in the burgundy dress was an aunt or another older relative of Crown Prince Hussein.

Alas, Princess Aya, the eldest daughter of King Abdullah II’s brother Prince Faisal and Alia Tabbaa, is no stranger to the fact that her appearance is a subject of discussion. All her life, Aya was compared to her sisters – twins Sarah and Aisha. Faisal’s younger daughters, whose mother, Queen Muna, is British by birth, inherited Western genes. Slender, fair-skinned and blond-haired, they are completely different from Jordanians. Sarah and Aisha studied in London and became gossip darlings from a young age.

Aya also received her higher education in the UK, but did not impress anyone with bright exits and fashionable outfits – she was focused on her studies and family life.

In 2014, when the 24-year-old princess got married at Zahran Palace, where the royal family holds most official ceremonies and social events (it was Abdullah and Rania who founded the tradition of performing weddings there- bottom), many commentators might not resist scathing remarks. Netizens recalled the experience of other Arab princesses who turned to plastic surgeons for the perfect appearance. But Aya clearly loves and accepts herself as Allah created her – and that is worthy of respect.

Aya’s husband, Mohammed Halavani, was suspected of self-interest. A handsome guy from a modest background accidentally met the princess and, without thinking twice, wooed her. There are practically no data about Mohammed himself, it is only known that he and his family are Jordanians, and the princess’s husband himself is very fond of football.

Anyway, the couple lived happily for almost 10 years – during this time they had two daughters and a son. And the support of her husband helped the princess to realize herself in public service.

Prince Faisal, the father of Princess Aya, has been the head of the Jordanian Olympic Committee for 11 years and has been a member of the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee for many years.

Yes, Jordanian athletes are not champions in terms of number of medals and achievements, but the country simply loves sport in all its manifestations, and King Abdullah ensures that Jordanian children have the opportunity to train and that talented athletes receive state support.

And Princess Aya is one of the key members of the royal family responsible for this case. She leads the Jordanian Volleyball Federation and has a decisive voice in the work of the Jordanian Olympic Committee. Those who have had the good fortune to work with the princess note her exceptional diligence, fairness and desire to fully understand the most difficult issues. The royal origin does not prevent the princess with the same enthusiasm from helping to build sports grounds in poor neighborhoods and participating in meetings at the highest level.​​

Plus, she has a great relationship with all the many siblings and cousins. In this, Aya is said to resemble her grandmother, Queen Muna. The princess is invariably friendly to everyone, caring, and has a lighthearted disposition. Crown Prince Hussein has considered her a close friend since childhood, and at home (yes, the house is big!) Aya is referred to as “the princess with a heart of gold.” And that’s certainly far more important than transient exterior beauty…
