A look at Queen Rania's growing family as she turns 56

As Queen Rania of Jordan turns 56, her rapidly growing royal family has become a source of celebration. The Jordan Royal Hashemite Court released a new portrait of the queen, showcasing her in a relaxed setting with her husband, King Abdullah II, and their four children. The queen and king have welcomed four grandchildren in just two years, making her a grandmother four times over.

Queen Rania, born Rania Al Yassin on August 31, 1970, married Prince Abdullah bin Al Hussein on June 10, 1993, after meeting at a dinner party earlier that year. The couple, who have four children - Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Iman, Princess Salma, and Prince Hashem - has marked significant milestones, including Queen Rania's 33rd wedding anniversary and the birth of Princess Iman's twin daughters, Talia and Rania, on August 14.
