Rania of Jordan celebrates the 62nd birthday of her husband King Abdullah II and the 19th birthday of her son Hashem.

Tuesday, January 30, 2024 will be etched in the annals of the Jordanian royal family, marking the double birthday of King Abdullah II, who celebrates his 62nd birthday, and his youngest son, Prince Hashem, who turns 19 , father and son were born on the same day. A coincidence that caused celebrations and warm messages throughout the kingdom. First, Queen Rania, wife of the King of Jordan and mother of the young prince. As always, the 53-year-old monarch shared the special event with her 10.3 million Instagram followers.

For the first time, she published a photo next to her husband, King Abdullah II. Both pose in front of the camera, accomplices, in plain t-shirts, one in white, the other in black. “Every day with you is a blessing. Happy birthday, your majesty,” wrote the Jordanian queen of Palestinian origin.

“Happiness every day”

A few hours later, Queen Rania shared another photo, this time focusing on her youngest child, Hashem. In the black and white portrait, the young prince radiates youth. “I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was so happy when you arrived…and you still bring me happiness every day. Happy birthday.”

Married since 10 June 1993, Abdullah II and Rania of Jordan also have Prince Hussein (born 28 June 1994), as well as Princesses Iman (born 27 September 1996) and Salma (born 26 September 2000 ) are the parents. Last year, the marriage of the eldest of the brothers, Crown Prince Hussein, with Saudi Rajwa al-Saif attracted the attention of the whole world. Prince William and Kate Middleton even traveled to Amman to attend these royal weddings.
