It is with a bright smile that Queen Rania of Jordan holds her granddaughter in her arms in a photo that she posted on Instagram to the delight of her 10.3 million subscribers this Friday, November 8. In the photo, the 54-year-old grandmother looks intently at her computer screen. “The first Zoom meeting of baby Iman earlier this week!”she wrote in the caption. Iman is the daughter of Hussein of Jordan and Princess Rajwa whose birth Rania of Jordan announced at the beginning of last August.
“Iman, you already have my heart in your hand. Our family has never been happier!”she wrote in the caption of the photos of the newborn taken at the maternity ward. About ten days later, she posted another captioned photo “too much beauty in my arms”. The words of a completely gaga grandmother. Fans of the royal family are too. Under the sovereign's latest Instagram publication, we witness a rain of hearts. “Both incredibly beautiful”can we read in the comments. The word “cute” is the one that comes up most often. “Simply adorable”we can also read. Some can only succumb to this “overdose of beauty”. Internet users are under the spell of this “so special moment” between grandmother and granddaughter.
PHOTOS – Rania, Hussein, Salma of Jordan… Who are the members of the royal family?
Will Iman, the granddaughter of Rania of Jordan, one day reign?
Could the first child of Hussein of Jordan and Princess Rajwa one day come to the throne? A priori no, since Iman is a girl. And according to article 28 of the Jordanian Constitution, cited by the site Royal Stories after the baby is born, “the royal title passes from the holder of the throne to his eldest son, then to that son's eldest son, and so on, in a process of linear succession”. Iman's uncle, Prince Hashem, thus retains his second place in the order of succession. Unless his dad gives birth to an heir later? To be continued.
