Queen Rania of Jordan Shares New Photo of Pregnant Princess Rajwa: 'Can't Wait to See You as Parents!'

Queen Rania of Jordan is celebrating her eldest son's 30th birthday as he prepares for fatherhood by sharing a new photo of the parents-to-be, Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa.

On June 28, Queen Rania posted an adorable portrait of her son and daughter-in-law, also 30, on her Instagram page. The snap showed Crown Prince Hussein with his arm wrapped around his wife of one year, who sported a pale yellow dress over her baby bump, as they both looked off to the side.

Queen Rania, 53, captioned the post, "Happy birthday, my dearest Hussein. Can’t wait to see you and Rajwa as parents!"

While the social media photo marked Queen Rania's first time posting about becoming a grandmother, Crown Prince Hussein previously said his mother has been privately preparing for the family's new addition.

"My mother has already started shopping for baby stuff weeks ago," he told Al Arabiya in May.

"Everything will change with the kids, for sure. I don't know what to expect, but thank God we are excited and the family is excited too," the heir to the Jordanian throne added during the interview.

The Royal Hashemite Court announced on April 10 that King Abdullah and Queen Rania would become first-time grandparents as their eldest son was expecting his first child with Princess Rajwa.

Since the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's constitution dictates that the throne passes onto male heirs, Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa's child will only enter the line of succession to the throne if the baby is a boy. If the baby is a girl, there will be no change to the line of succession. Crown Prince Hussein is heir to the throne and is currently followed by his brother Prince Hashem, 19.

Regardless of sex, the royal family's new addition is expected to receive the titles of His/Her Royal Highness and prince/princess.

Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa's baby news came 10 months after they got married in a royal wedding attended by royals from around the world, including Prince William, Kate Middleton and Princess Beatrice from the U.K. The wedding festivities in Amman included a glamorous banquet that called for evening gowns and tiaras.

Rajwa was welcomed into the royal fold after her engagement was announced in 2022. In a speech at a pre-wedding event, Queen Rania said, "I'll never forget how happy His Majesty and I were when Al Hussein told us he wanted to marry Rajwa. She is the perfect answer to all my prayers for him. May you always be each other’s source of happiness and support."
