The heir to the Jordanian throne confirmed the birth of his daughter, Princess Iman, on Saturday, and in new photos she was clearly besotted with the new addition to the family. Rania was seen cradling her granddaughter as she introduced the tot to the other members of the family.
In an image carousel shared on Instagram, Rania's husband, King Abdullah, was also seen meeting his first grandchild, while another featured Rania rocking the baby while still in hospital.
Princess Iman's birth was announced on 3 August, with a statement from the Hashemite Palace reading: "The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein were blessed, on 3 August 2024, with a baby girl they named Iman.
"The Royal Hashemite Court extends its sincere congratulations and best wishes to Their Royal Highnesses and to Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah on this happy occasion.
"Their Royal Highnesses are immensely overjoyed and thankful on welcoming their firstborn, and call on well-wishers to consider donating to Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans in lieu of sending gifts or flowers."
Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan told our sister publication HELLO! ARABIA : "We are overjoyed to begin this new chapter in our lives. Our family is growing, and we are excited to welcome our little one into the world."
Despite the birth, the line of succession to the Jordanian throne hasn't been changed. The Jordanian royal family operates under agnatic primogeniture rules, meaning that women are excluded from the throne and line of succession.
