Queen Rania is celebrating the latest addition to her family.

The Queen of Jordan, 54, announced on social media on Sunday, Feb. 16, that her daughter, Princess Iman, has welcomed her first baby, a girl, with husband Jameel Thermiotis.

In a joint Instagram post shared with the Royal Hashemite Court, Queen Rania wrote that her "darling" 28-year-old daughter is "now a mother" herself, before revealing the newborn's name. "We’re grateful and overjoyed to meet Amina, our family’s newest blessing," she wrote in a caption translated to English. "Congratulations Jameel and Iman — may God bless you and your precious little girl."

In one image, the King could be seen giving his newborn granddaughter a kiss on the forehead as she was bundled up, with Queen Rania holding her up lovingly in another slide.

Crown Prince Hussein — Princess Iman's brother — also paid tribute to the newest member of the family with a touching Instagram post, calling the newborn a "lifelong companion" to his own child.

The 30-year-old heir to the Jordanian throne shared a handful of photos to the platform, showing the family spending time together — with baby Amina apparently meeting his daughter, also named Princess Iman. "Welcome to the family, Amina," he captioned the post. "May you be a source of joy for your parents and a loving sister and lifelong companion to my daughter."

The newborn news comes just weeks after the Queen revealed that her eldest daughter and second child Iman was expecting a baby with Thermiotis. In a since-translated Instagram caption, Queen Rania wrote that "both are dear to my heart, but the one to come is even more precious... May God bring it to a blessed end. Two is a couple, three is a blessing."

Princess Iman and Jameel tied the knot in March 2023 during a royal wedding in Amman — less than a year after the Royal Hashemite Court announced their engagement in July 2022.

"Grateful for all the precious memories we share and overjoyed to see you celebrate your wedding today… I wish you, dear Iman and Jameel, a lifetime of blessings and happiness together,” Crown Prince Hussein posted at the time.

As previously reported, Jameel was was born in Venezuela, holds a business degree and has worked in finance in New York.

The constitution of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan states that the throne is passed down through King Abdullah Ibn Al-Hussein's dynasty, following a hereditary line of male heirs — with the elder Iman and her newborn not being in the line of succession.

“The Royal title shall pass from the holder of the Throne to his eldest son, then to the eldest son of that eldest son, and in linear succession in a similar process thereafter,” Article 28 states. "Should the eldest son die before the Throne devolves upon him, his eldest son shall inherit the Throne, even if the deceased has brothers. The King may, however, select one of his brothers as heir apparent. In this event, the title to the Throne shall pass to him from the holder of the Throne."

Crown Prince Hussein has continued to share images of his infant on social media in recent months, including with a New Year's Eve post and in November, when he and his daughter dressed up for a soccer match between Jordan's national team and Iraq.
