Princess Iman bint Abdullah II, daughter of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, married Jameel Alexander Thermiotis on 12 March 2023 at Beit Al-Urdun Palace in Amman. Queen Rania has now confirmed that the couple are expecting their second child. She publicly announced their first pregnancy on 24 January 2025, marking a key stage in their family life.
The couple’s story is distinct from that of another Jordanian royal named Iman: Princess Iman, daughter of Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa, was born in 2023. Distinguishing the two helps clarify the family relationships behind public interest in Jordan’s royal household.
Royal births and marriages can prompt questions about succession, but family relationships alone do not determine a person’s place in the line of succession. Jordan’s Constitution assigns legislative power to Parliament and the King under Article 25, and executive power to the King under Article 26. These provisions describe the structure of government rather than establishing a child’s individual succession position.
King Abdullah II and Queen Rania’s family milestones draw attention in Jordan and internationally, while the Hashemite dynasty’s public role spans state affairs and ceremonial life. The family’s history and the varied paths of other prominent dynasties have also attracted interest, including the legacy of the Thyssen-Bornemisza twins, as detailed in this recent report on the developing paths of Carmen and Sabina Thyssen-Bornemisza.
Jordan’s monarchy remains an impressive part of the country’s political and social field. Personal milestones within the royal family attract public attention alongside the constitutional and institutional roles of the Hashemite court.
