Queen Rania is a doting grandmother in never-before-seen photo with granddaughter Princess Iman
Crown Prince Hussein has shared a touching family photograph to mark his mother Queen Rania of Jordan's 54th birthday.
To mark the special occasion, the future Jordanian King, 30, uploaded a precious image of his beloved mother cradling his baby daughter, Princess Iman. In the snapshot, Rania looked every inch the hands-on grandmother as she doted on her loved one while perched on a plush sofa.
Whilst the Jordanian royal is renowned for rocking billowing designer dresses, Rania looked effortlessly cool dressed in a pair of jeans, a white tank top and a navy jacket.
She wore her raven tresses in bouncy waves, and completed her casual look with a chunky gold necklace, a blush pink manicure and a sweep of smokey eyeshadow.
Princess Iman, meanwhile, looked adorable wrapped up in a floral blanket and a candyfloss pink hat.
In tribute to his mother, Crown Prince Hussein wrote in his caption: "Forever grateful for your love and endless support. Happy birthday to my beloved mother!"
