Queen Rania Shares First Photos of Newborn Twin Granddaughters Talia and Rania
Queen Rania called the newborns a growing family blessing and said one twin was named for her, as Princess Iman and Jameel welcomed their third child and first twins.
On Friday, August 14, Princess Iman and her husband Jameel Alexander Thermiotis welcomed twin daughters, Talia and Rania. The Royal Hashemite Court announced the newborns are the third and fourth grandchildren of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania.
Married in March 2023, the couple were already parents to one-year-old Amina. Queen Rania revealed early last month that her eldest daughter was expecting her second child, though she did not specify twins.
Queen Rania shared family photographs on Instagram, noting that Rania means 'one who gazes' while Talia is associated with 'morning dew,' symbolizing freshness and renewal. One twin shares her name with her grandmother.
Crown Prince Hussein celebrated on his Instagram Story, writing 'Thank God for the complete grace.' The newborns join big sister Amina, expanding the family to five, though the twins are not expected to hold royal titles.
The royal family now includes four grandchildren, including Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa's daughter, Princess Iman, born in 2024. House of Hashim tradition passes titles from father to son, which explains why the newborn twins are not expected to become princesses.
