In a heartwarming addition to the Jordanian royal family, Princess Iman, the eldest daughter of King Abdullah and Queen Rania, welcomed her first child, Princess Amina, on a Sunday in August 2024. This joyous occasion marks the birth of the second granddaughter for King Abdullah and Queen Rania and was celebrated by the entire royal family. Queen Rania shared a touching moment of the family meeting the newborn for the first time, highlighting the bond and happiness within the royal household.
Princess Iman married Jameel Thermiotis on March 12, 2023, and their union has now been blessed with the arrival of Princess Amina. In a delightful twist of fate, Princess Amina's birth follows six months after Crown Prince Hussein and his wife, Princess Rajwa, welcomed their daughter, also named Princess Iman. This shared name has added a special connection between the cousins.
"Welcome to the family, Amina! May you be a source of joy for your parents and a loving sister and lifelong companion to my daughter." – Crown Prince Hussein
Crown Prince Hussein expressed his congratulations to his sister and brother-in-law on this happy occasion. His own marriage to Saudi-born architect Rajwa on June 1, 2023, was a grand affair attended by monarchies from across the globe. The birth of Princess Amina adds yet another chapter to the thriving lineage of the royal family.
Queen Rania had kept Princess Iman's pregnancy under wraps until January, just three weeks before her daughter's birth. The announcement came as a pleasant surprise to many, further amplifying the excitement surrounding the arrival of Princess Amina. Jameel Thermiotis, now a proud new father, joins the royal family in celebrating this wonderful milestone.
Princess Salma, Princess Iman's younger sister at 24 years old, showed her affection for her niece by waving at her upon arrival at the maternity hospital. This small gesture epitomizes the close-knit nature of the Jordanian royal family and their shared joy in welcoming Princess Amina.
