Queen Rania has shared the first family photographs after welcoming twin granddaughters over the weekend.
The Jordanian royal took to her Instagram account, @queenrania, to share adorable first photos of the new additions, who are the daughters of Princess Iman, 29, and her husband, Jameel Alexander Thermiotis.
Rania, 55, was seen cradling the newborns in pink and white blankets, gazing adoringly down at her new grandchildren.
She will be especially delighted as Iman and Jameel chose to name one of their twins Rania, paying tribute to the Queen of Jordan herself.
The Queen captioned her post: “Healthy, happy, and finally here. We’ve been waiting so long to meet you, Talia and Rania♥️♥️
“Congratulations Iman, Jameel, and sweet big sister Amina!”
Also pictured were Iman’s younger siblings, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem, who appeared equally excited by the happy news as they met their new nieces.

The babies’ arrival was announced by the Royal Hashemite Court on 14 August.
“The Royal Hashemite Court extends its sincere congratulations and best wishes to Princess Iman and Mr. Jameel, as well as to Their Majesties King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein and Queen Rania Al Abdullah on this happy occasion,” the court said in a statement.

Over the weekend, the couple revealed their chosen names, Talia and Rania.
“Praise be to Allah, the bestower of the most beautiful gifts,” Iman and Jameel penned.

The Jordan royal family is getting bigger
The newborns join big sister Amina, making Iman and Jameel a family of five and now parents to three daughters.
The babies are Rania and Abdullah’s third and fourth grandchildren. They also have baby Iman, the daughter of Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa, who was born in 2024 and named after her aunt.

It was announced just last month that the couple was expecting again, though it wasn’t revealed they would be welcoming twins.
One-year-old Amina does not hold a royal title, so the twins are also not expected to become princesses.
This is because the House of Hashim’s style is traditionally passed down from father to son.
