- Queen Rania shared an Instagram photograph of herself surrounded by her grandchildren on her 56th birthday.
- The Jordanian queen said she spent the day with her “favourite little girls” and posted a similar message in Arabic.
- The family photograph highlighted Jordan’s younger royal generation, which has increasingly appeared on Rania’s social media accounts.
Queen Rania marked her 56th birthday with a family photograph rather than a formal celebration, holding two of her youngest grandchildren while older children gathered around her.
The Jordanian royal shared the image on Instagram on August 31, writing, “Spending my birthday in the best way imaginable. Love you, my favorite little girls.” She also posted an Arabic message wishing protection for Iman, Amina, Talia and Rania.
Spending my birthday in the best way imaginable. Love you, my favorite little girls.
The photograph showed Rania cradling Amina, Princess Iman’s daughter, and Rania, Princess Rajwa’s daughter. Other members of the younger generation also appeared in the image, offering followers a glimpse of the royal family’s growing number of grandchildren.
Born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents, Rania studied business administration at the American University in Cairo. She married then-Prince Abdullah bin Al Hussein in 1993 and became queen in 1999, when he acceded to the throne as King Abdullah II. The couple have four children: Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Iman, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem. Rania is also known for her work in education, children’s welfare and community development.
The sweetest birthday with my beloved Iman, Amina, Talia and Rania, may God protect them all.
