Queen Rania of Jordan pays tribute to her husband and their son as they celebrate their birthdays

Queen Rania of Jordan has shared gushing birthday tribute posts to her husband and youngest son. The Jordanian monarch, King Abdullah II, and his youngest child, Prince Hashem, celebrated their special days together on 30 January. Rania took to Instagram to first share a sweet message for Abdullah, writing: 'Happy birthday! You mean the world to us.'. The mother-of-four put on a striking display in an all-yellow ensemble in the image, including a flowing midi dress and matching heeled shoes.

Abduallah, who turned 63 yesterday, looked equally smart in a dapper navy suit, blue tie, and white shirt. In the second post, Rania hugged Hashem, who turned 20 yesterday, in an adorable picture. The young royal, who is currently studying at Georgetown University in Washington D.C, smiled in a casual hoodie as his mother sweetly put her arms around him. In addition to the photograph, the proud mother wrote: 'Happy birthday my dearest Hashem!'.

Queen Rania of Jordan made a sweet birthday post for her husband, King Abdullah II of Jordan (pictured). The celebrations have been non-stop for the family, who also recently revealed that Princess Iman of Jordan is pregnant with her first child. The royal's mother, Queen Rania, 54, took to Instagram, where she shared an adorable picture of the Iman with her husband Jameel Thermiotis together at sunset, with Iman proudly showing off the silhouette of her small bump.

Princess Iman, 28, who is the second daughter of Queen Rania and King Abdullah of Jordan, stood looking affectionately into the eyes of her husband, Jameel Thermiotis, 29, as the sun set over the stunning Jordanian beach. Iman's mother posted the photo alongside a heartfelt caption: 'Both are dear to my heart, but the coming one is more precious ..... May God end well. Two is a couple, three is a blessing.'.

Iman's husband, Jameel, was born in Caracas, Venezuela to a Greek family. He currently works as a Managing Partner for a Venture Capital fund in the US, where the two reportedly first met. The news of their pregnancy comes just shy of two years since the pair tied the knot in March 2023. At the the time of their engagement in July 2022, the queen, shared an affectionate post for her soon-to-be-son-in-law.

She wrote on Instagram at the time: 'Congratulations my dearest Iman; your smile has always been a gift of love that I've cherished since the day you were born. I wish you and Jameel a life filled with love and laughter!'. The mother-of-four sweetly hugged her youngest, Prince Hashem (pictured), in the second posy. When Jameel proposed, he presented his bride-to-be with a magnificent emerald-cut diamond.

In 2023, the young couple enjoyed a fairytale nuptial at the Beit Al Urdun Palace in the Jordanian capital of Amman - once known for being the spot where Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein watched football together. The stunning bride wowed spectators in a bespoke Dior gown and her mother's diamond tiara. The news comes just months after Princess Iman's niece was born. Last summer, Iman's older brother, Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan, had a baby girl, who he named Iman after his sister.

In August last year, Princess Rajwa, the wife of Prince Hussein, who is the eldest of the Jordanian royal's children, announced that they had their first child. However, according to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Iman is not in line to the throne. The throne will be passed down through King Abdullah Ibn Al-Hussein's dynasty, following a hereditary line of male heirs. Article 28 of the constitution of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan reads: 'The Royal title shall pass from the holder of the Throne to his eldest son, then to the eldest son of that eldest son, and in linear succession in a similar process thereafter.

'Should the eldest son die before the Throne devolves upon him, his eldest son shall inherit the Throne, even if the deceased has brothers. 'The King may, however, select one of his brothers as heir apparent. In this event, the title to the Throne shall pass to him from the holder of the Throne.'.

Even if Hussein has no sons, the constitution would dictate that his younger brother Prince Hashem take over as king. Following the birth of Hussein's daughter, the royal Hashemite court released a brief statement saying that the baby was named Iman, after his younger sister. In a video posted on Rajwa's official Instagram page, Hussein was cradling his newborn daughter to the soundtrack of You Are My Sunshine.

Sweet photos also show the new parents cuddling their newborn, with Iman meeting her grandparents and aunt for the first time too at the King Hussein Medical Centre hospital, in Amman, Jordan. The birth of Princess Iman came about a year after Hussein and Rajwa's extravagant wedding, which drew a star-studded guest list including the Prince and Princess of Wales. Rajwa, 30, was born in Riyadh to a prominent and wealthy Saudi Arabian family distantly related to the country's current ruler, King Salman.
