Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa welcomed their first child — a baby girl — in the early morning of August 3. The Royal Hashemite Court shared a video showing Crown Prince Hussein holding the baby while reciting a traditional call to prayer for newborns. Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa have named their daughter Iman. She is the first grandchild of King Abdullah and Queen Rania of Jordan. Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa were married in a glittering ceremony in June last year.
Queen Rania shared photos of her granddaughter Iman on Saturday, taken at the King Hussein Medical Center, showing the entire Jordanian Royal Family cuddling their newest addition.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !!!!!
ReplyDeleteIman thats a beautiful name, congratulations to the Happy Couple
ReplyDeleteI think the name Imani would have been beautiful too and different only slightly from her Auntie while still paying tribute to her.
DeleteIman will be queen one day! Mahmoud Zedan
ReplyDeleteonly male descendants of Abdullah I of Jordan, born to Muslim parents, can ascend the throne of Jordan. So the pressure is still on for Rajwa to produce an heir, or the crown will go to Hussein's younger brother, Hashem
DeleteUnless Jordan changes the rules she will not be queen. Only men are allowed to be sovereign.
DeleteThe pressure is not on Rajwa to produce an heir. It is on Hussein, if it is on anyone, as the male determines the sex of the baby.
Delete... "the male determines the sex of the baby"??
DeleteYes, Coralie! The man determines the sex of a baby, please read a little bit some genetics and biology.
Deletemale XY gene determines sex of baby but being in a Muslim culture, people don't see it that way, the focus is on the woman
DeleteQue cet heureux couple reçoive toutes mes félicitations - L'avenir nous réservera certainement des photos de la princesse Iman ; j'ai hâte !
ReplyDeleteBenvenuta Iman ♥️ 💫

Congratulations to the new parents,and their respective families.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteQueen Rania is now a grandmother (granny Rania)
And Princess Muna is now a great, great grandmother (mother of King Abdullah).
p.s. Princess Muna is now 83 years old.
That’s great grandmother, not great, great grandmother.
Delete@19:53 Actually... it's "great-grandmother". "Great grandmother" means a grandmother who is "great" (wonderful, awesome, etc). That little hyphen changes the meaning a lot (I am actually a great-grandmother). Bugs me no end, lol. Google it! ~~Ruthie
DeleteSorry, got carried away with the "greats" 😀
DeleteCongratulations to the newly parents and their bundle of joy.

Congratulations Princess IMAN to be born in a down-to-earth and lovely family!!!

DeleteDown-to-earth ? Didn't you see the wedding pictures of Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa ? Such weddings from the "tales of 1001 nights" are not the usual thing among Western royal families. If I remember it took more than one day before the festivities were over. The female guests needed more than one gala dress. One without the tiara and one for the evening with the tiara. I see the pictures of King Philippe and his daughter CP Elisabeth still before me and CP Amalia of the Netherlands with her parents and Princess Catherine (of Wales) and other English Princesses in their gala dresses. There were a huge amount of guests as well on the wedding ceremony itself as on the evening gala, etc, etc .... Tons of food and drinks and wine had been offered. I think many royal houses do not have so much money to spend on a wedding.
Iman, the future queen of Jordan is born! Hussein from Syria
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is that only men can be heir to the throne in Jordan!
DeleteHow special and how rare is it in the modern that the first words a newborn hears in its life are words of prayer. Very beautiful custom!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Beautiful!
Delete@ Lela: I didn't think about it that way, but now that you have pointed it out, I agree that is a very beautiful thing! Thank you for this lovely observation.

A beautiful video.
Thank you for sharing. It was heartwarming to watch.
DeleteTout le monde est très heureux à l'occasion de cette merveilleuse nouvelle ; la princesse ne manquera pas d'être chouchoutée !
ReplyDeleteThere’s a picture of dad holding the baby, grandma holding the baby, aunties holding the baby. What about mom?? She does look beautiful in the picture of her and Hussein.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family, but I have yet to see a photo of Princess Rajwa with her new born child and husband....
