Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
King Abdullah and Queen Rania couldn’t help gushing over their first grandchild, taking to X to share their joy over newborn Princess Iman.
On 3 August, Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa announced the birth of their first child, who they named Iman. The name Iman means faith in the Arabic language.
King Abdullah shared on his official X account: “Praise be to God who gave us our first granddaughter, Iman bint Al-Hussein. I congratulate Al-Hussein and Rajwa Al-Azizan on their newborn baby. We ask God to give her good growth and protect her for her parents. You enlightened our family, grandfather.”
Meanwhile, Queen Rania wrote: “Praise be to God for His greatest gifts… You have enlightened our lives with our precious granddaughter, Iman. May God protect us from you. Congratulations to Hussein and Rajwa, and may God fill your lives with blessings and contentment.”
Queen Rania shared photos of her granddaughter Iman on Saturday, taken from the hospital and showing the entire Jordanian Royal Family cuddling their newest addition. The Queen wrote: “Iman, you’ve already got a hold of my heart. Our family has never been happier!”
The Royal Hashemite Court announced the news on Saturday, saying that the new parents are “immensely overjoyed and thankful on welcoming their firstborn, and call on well-wishers to consider donating to Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans in lieu of sending gifts or flowers.”
