Jordan’s Princess Iman gives birth to twin daughters Talia and Rania

Princess Iman of Jordan and her husband Jameel Alexander Thermiotis have welcomed twin daughters, named Talia and Rania, the Royal Hashemite Court announced on Friday. The younger twin is named after Iman's mother, Queen Rania. The couple expressed gratitude in a statement, saying, 'Praise be to Allah, the bestower of the most beautiful gifts.'

The newborns join older sister Amina, making the couple parents to three daughters. King Abdullah II and Queen Rania are now grandparents to four granddaughters. Queen Rania had announced the pregnancy just over a month ago, writing on social media that 'the grandchildren club is growing.'

Princess Iman, 29, is the second of King Abdullah and Queen Rania's four children. She married Venezuelan-born financier Thermiotis in 2023. Crown Prince Hussein also congratulated the family. Under Jordan's succession laws, the crown passes through male heirs, so the princesses are not in the direct line of succession.
