Queen Rania of Jordan's daughter Princess Iman has welcomed twin girls with her New York-based financier husband.

'Healthy, happy, and finally here. We've been waiting so long to meet you, Talia and Rania,' King Abdullah II and his wife wrote in an Instagram post announcing the happy news.

The two royals looked the picture of happiness as they held their newest grandchildren in sweet family photographs accompanying the caption.

Iman also shares one-year-old Amina with her husband Jameel Thermiotis, who she wed in March 2023.

The couple kept the pregnancy private for most of the year, with Rania only sharing a photo of Iman with her baby bump in July.

'A new joy on the way,' she wrote. 'The grandchildren club is growing, and we couldn't be happier for Iman, Jameel and soon-to-be big sister Amina!'

Rania, which pays homage to the Queen, in Arabic means 'radiant', while Talia is 'morning dew' or 'gentle dew from heaven'.

It is the King and Queen's third and fourth grandchild in just over two years.

The royal court announced the news last week, writing: 'The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce that Her Royal Highness Princess Iman bint Abdullah II and Mr. Jameel Alexander Thermiotis were blessed, on 14 August 2026, with twin baby girls.

It extended 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'.

Princess Iman is the eldest daughter of Queen Rania and King Abdullah of Jordan. Her husband Jameel was born in Caracas, Venezuela to a Greek family. He currently works as a Managing Partner for a Venture Capital fund in the US, where the two reportedly first met.

When Jameel proposed, he presented his bride-to-be with a magnificent emerald-cut diamond.

In 2023, the young couple enjoyed a fairytale nuptial at the Beit Al Urdun Palace in the Jordanian capital of Amman - once known for being the spot where Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein watched football together.

The stunning bride wowed spectators in a bespoke Dior gown and her mother's diamond tiara.

In 2024, Iman's older brother, Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan, had a baby girl who he named Iman after his sister.

However, according to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Iman is not in line to the throne and neither may her baby be.

The throne will be passed down through King Abdullah Ibn Al-Hussein's dynasty, following a hereditary line of male heirs.

Article 28 of the constitution of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan reads: '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. 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.'

Even if Hussein has no sons, the constitution would dictate that his younger brother Prince Hashem take over as king.

The birth of Princess Iman came about a year after Hussein and Rajwa's extravagant wedding, which drew a star-studded guest list including the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Rajwa was born in Riyadh to a prominent and wealthy Saudi Arabian family distantly related to the country's current ruler, King Salman.
