Just one month after celebrating their own 12th wedding anniversary, Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, are making a rare appearance as guests at another royal wedding.

William and Kate traveled from their home in Windsor, England, to Jordan to attend the wedding of Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, 28, and Rajwa Alseif, 29, on Thursday.

The Waleses are reportedly among 1,700 guests at the high-profile wedding.
