Queen Rania shares first photos of newborn twin granddaughters Talia and Rania

Queen Rania of Jordan has unveiled the first photographs of her newborn twin granddaughters, Talia and Rania. The royal couple shared the images on social media on Monday, accompanied by a heartfelt message. In the photos, Queen Rania and King Abdullah II are seen cradling the newborns, expressing their joy and gratitude for the arrival of the twins. Queen Rania wrote, "Healthy, happy and finally here. We've been waiting so long to meet you, Talia and Rania. Congratulations Iman, Jameel and sweet big sister Amina!"

The royal family has a long history of welcoming new additions to the lineage. Princess Iman, Queen Rania's eldest daughter, is married to Jameel Alexander Thermiotis. The couple welcomed their first child, Amina, in February 2025. The announcement of the twin girls' birth came after Queen Rania shared that the couple was expecting their second child.

The names of the newborns hold significance in Arabic. Talia, associated with "morning dew" or "gentle dew", symbolizes freshness, beauty, and renewal. Rania, derived from an Arabic root meaning "gazing" or "looking intently", carries a personal connection, as one of the twins shares her name with Queen Rania herself.
