On February 16, 2025, Princess Iman of Jordan, the second of the four children and the elder of the two daughters of King Abdullah II of Jordan, gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Amina at Prince Hashem bin Abdullah II Hospital in Aqaba, Jordan. On March 12, 2023, Princess Iman married Jameel Thermiótis, a Venezuelan businessman of Greek descent. This is the second grandchild for King Abdullah II and Queen Rania. Crown Prince Hussein and his wife Princess Rajwa Al Hussein have a daughter born in 2024. The King of Jordan has the power to name his successor to a certain extent. However, Jordan does not allow female succession so neither granddaughter could be named ruler of Jordan.
