The royal family is often associated with maintaining composure and a stiff upper lip, but like everyone else, they also experience emotional moments.
While they have much to celebrate, there are times when their emotions get the better of them, especially during challenging times such as the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last September.
One touching moment was when Queen Rania of Jordan became emotional at her daughter-in-law Princess Rajwa’s henna party.
