Queen Rania of Jordan's daughter Princess Iman gives birth to baby girl as gushing grandmother celebrates 'our family's newest blessing'

Princess Iman of Jordan has given birth to her first child - a baby girl she shares with her husband Jameel Thermiotis. The couple, who wed in March 2023, have released a set of photographs celebrating the arrival of their bundle of joy. Iman's mother, Queen Rania of Jordan, shared news of the birth on Instagram, where she shared the images of her 28-year-old's daughter's new baby - and her name, which is Amina.

Taking to the social media platform, the 54-year-old Queen wrote: 'My darling Iman is now a mother. 'We’re grateful and overjoyed to meet Amina, our family’s newest blessing. 'Congratulations Jameel and Iman – may God bless you and your precious little girl.'. Images shared to mark the arrival show Princess Iman and her husband looking tenderly at their tiny daughter. Another shows Queen Rania holding the baby and she looks tenderly at her, with a further image showing the princess' father, King Abdullah II, taking his turn at holding the newborn.

News of Iman's pregnancy was announced last month - almost a year after their 2023 nuptials. Again, the news was shared by Queen Ranua, who took to Instagram in January and 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, who is the second daughter of Queen Rania and King Abdullah of Jordan, stood looking affectionately into the eyes of her husband, Jameel Thermiotis, 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. 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 several 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 and neither may her baby be. 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.

King Abdullahh II (pictured) is snapped holding the tiny new arrival Amina, as he tenderly kisses her head. Sweet photos also showed 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. Hussein, also 30, was named crown prince in 2004, at the age of 15, after Abdullah stripped his own half-brother, Prince Hamzah, of the title. Taking to Instagram, Queen Rania wrote: 'My darling Iman is now a mother. We’re grateful and overjoyed to meet Amina, our family’s newest blessing' (pictured L-R: Princess Iman holding baby Amina; Jameel Thermiotis; King Abdulla II, Queen Rania).
