Queen Rania, the Queen of Jordan, has unveiled the first images of her newborn twin granddaughters, Talia and Rania. The babies were welcomed into the world on August 14, after Princess Iman, the Queen's daughter, and her husband, Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, announced the news on August 13.

We’ve been waiting so long to meet you, Talia and Rania. Congratulations Iman, Jameel and sweet big sister Amina!" The newborns' names hold significance in Arabic, with Talia meaning "morning dew" and Rania derived from a root associated with gazing, both connotations of beauty and renewal. The twins share a name with Queen Rania, as one of the newborns, Rania, bears the same name as her grandmother.
