Princess Iman of Jordan is now a mother of three. The Royal Hashemite Court confirmed on Friday that the princess and her husband, Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, had welcomed twin daughters, bringing an unexpected double celebration to the Jordanian royal family. The girls’ names have yet to be shared publicly.
“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,” the statement read. “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.”
Princess Iman’s older brother, Crown Prince Hussein, also congratulated the couple, writing on Instagram stories (translated from Arabic to English): “Thank God for the complete grace and great favor Beautiful blessing and faith.”
Just over a month ago, Princess Iman’s mother, Queen Rania, shared to social media a family photograph showing Iman with a baby bump alongside Thermiotis and their daughter Amina, announcing that the couple was expecting a second child, although there was no mention of the possibility of twins.
Iman, 29, is the second of King Abdullah and Queen Rania’s four children, sandwiched between Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Salma, with Prince Hashem at the youngest. She married Thermiotis, a Venezuelan-born financier, in 2023, becoming the first of her siblings to marry. Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa followed a few months later with their own ceremony.
The twins are the latest additions to a rapidly growing group of grandchildren for King Abdullah and Queen Rania. The couple first became grandparents in August 2024, when Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa welcomed a daughter, also named Princess Iman, after her aunt. The elder Princess Iman and Thermiotis welcomed their first daughter, Amina, in February 2025. With the arrival of the twins, the King and Queen now have four granddaughters. However, under Jordan’s current succession laws, the crown passes through male heirs, meaning none of the new additions are in direct line for the throne.
