Queen Rania of Jordan, who turns 56 this year, is celebrating her birthday surrounded by her expanding royal family. The Jordanian Royal Hashemite Court recently released a portrait of the queen, showing her seated on brick steps with greenery, wearing a white short-sleeved top, blue jeans, an Apple Watch, and star-shaped earrings.
Queen Rania and King Abdullah II have four children, but in just two years, they have become grandparents four times over. In July, Queen Rania announced that her eldest daughter, Princess Iman, had given birth to twin daughters, Talia and Rania. Princess Iman and her husband, Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, had previously welcomed their daughter Amina in February 2025.
The royal family also includes Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Salma, born in 1994 and 1996, respectively. Queen Rania, born Rania Al Yassin on August 31, 1970, met Prince Abdullah bin Al Hussein at a dinner party in 1993 and married him on June 10 of that year.
