Queen Rania of Jordan has celebrated her 56th birthday as the Royal Hashemite Court released an official portrait to mark the milestone.
The release comes during a period of family celebration for the royal household following the birth of the queen's twin granddaughters.
In the photograph, Queen Rania poses outdoors in a garden setting wearing a casual outfit of a white T-shirt, straight-leg denim jeans, and a sports watch.
Her hair is gathered into a relaxed chignon, while her natural makeup highlights her effortless elegance.
Royal family welcomes twin girls
The birthday portrait follows news reported by publication Town & Country that her daughter, Princess Iman, welcomed twin girls on August 14.
Princess Iman and her husband, Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, who is of Greek descent, named the newborn girls Talia and Rania.
The arrival of the twins made Queen Rania a grandmother for the fourth time.
A few days after the birth, the Queen of Jordan posted family photographs on her Instagram account to share moments with the newborns.
In the accompanying caption, Queen Rania wrote that the babies were healthy, happy, and finally here. She said the family had waited a long time to meet Talia and Rania, and sent her congratulations to Princess Iman, Thermiotis, and their child Amina, whom she referred to as sweet big sister Amina.
Family gatherings and public advocacy
In the published images, Queen Rania and King Abdullah II hold the newborn girls in their arms while wrapped in pink and white blankets.
Princess Iman's younger siblings, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem, also appear in the family photographs alongside their parents.
Beyond her recent family milestones, the past year has been an active period for Queen Rania in her official capacity.
She continues her public work alongside King Abdullah II, maintaining a focus on children, youth development, and women's rights.
