NEW DELHI: Jordan‘s royal court on Saturday announced that Princess Rajwa, wife of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan, gave birth to a girl, the couple’s firstborn and first grandchild of King Abdullah II.
According to a statement from the Royal Hashemite Court, the baby was named Iman. Crown Prince Hussein also shared a heartwarming video on Princess Rajwa’s official Instagram page, where he can be seen cradling his newborn daughter while the American ballad “You Are My Sunshine” plays in the background.
“The Royal Hashemite Court extends its sincere congratulations and best wishes to Their Royal Highnesses and to Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah on this happy occasion,” the statement further read.
The birth of Princess Iman comes approximately a year after the couple’s lavish wedding ceremony, which attracted a star-studded guest list, including Prince William and Kate of Britain, as well as US first lady Jill Biden.
Hussein, 30, was named crown prince in 2004, at the age of 15, after Abdullah II, stripped his own half-brother, Prince Hamzah, of the title.
As the eldest son of King Abdullah II, who has been ruling Jordan for more than two decades, Crown Prince Hussein is next in line for the Hashemite throne, which, according to Jordanian law, can only be inherited by males.
