Queen Rania of Jordan turns 55 and, to celebrate this important milestone, two official photographs were shared on social media. The first portrays her smiling next to her husband, King Abdallah II. In the post we read: «The Royal Council Hashemita gives its most sincere congratulations to her majesty Queen Rania Abdullah on the occasion of her birthday. We ask the Lord to preserve it and grant her health and well -being ».
The second image, published by the eldest son, the hereditary prince Hussein, shows the sovereign in affectionate pose between him and his wife, Princess Rajwa. The message that accompanies the shot strengthens the idea of family unit: «That Allah protects you and give you a long life. Happy birthday to my loving mom. God bless you! ».
On the eve of the anniversary, another shot had already appeared on the official profile of the Queen that portrayed her in a spontaneous and natural pose, confirming her role as an icon of elegance and modernity in the international real panorama. For the occasion, Rania chose a blue dress with fluid and essential lines, which enhanced its figure. The image aroused the enthusiasm of the fans, who underlined its timeless beautycapable of challenging the years. Not surprisingly, the comments on social media describes it as much younger than her age: a result linked not only to genetics and perhaps to some external help, but also to the scrupulous care that the queen dedicates to itself and to her healthy lifestyle. It is known, in fact, that follows a diet with low glycemic index and regularly practices yoga and pilates. To this is added his passion for western fashion, of which he often becomes an ambassador wearing prestigious brands during public commitments. It is no coincidence that his refined and unmistakable style made her deserve, more than once, the most elegant real title of the world.
The celebration of the 55th birthday of the sovereign takes on this year a meaning that goes far beyond the private or worldly aspect: It becomes an opportunity to reflect on the public path of a sovereign who, in over two decades alongside King Abdallah II, has imposed himself as one of the most authoritative female voices and listened to internationally. According to the official agency Petrathe Queen wanted to celebrate the anniversary with discretion, continuing to put the themes that have always distinguished it at the center of her agenda: education, support for families, protection of children and defense of human rights.
Behind the glamorous image, which the world also admired during the recent Venetian wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, there is a woman deeply engaged on the humanitarian front. Rania is in fact spokesperson passionate about crucial causes, from the defense of minors in conflicts to peace in the Middle East, in line with the role of Jordan as a mediator and tireless promoter of peace. His appeals in favor of children in the war areas, in particular in Palestine, the land of origin of his parents, have gone around the world, consecrating it as one of the symbolic figures of global humanitarianism.
During the World summit on the rights of infandala, hosted in the Vatican by the late Pope Francis, The queen recalled that “one child in six lives in areas affected by conflicts” and that dozens of them are killed or mutilated daily. He therefore invoked universal protection, without discrimination of nationality, faith or place of birth, denouncing the “double dehumanizing standards” in the application of international law, which have contributed to an era of global disorder.
Since 2013, Rania has guided the Queen Rania Foundation for Education and Development (QRF), committed to filling the educational gaps in Jordan and in the region. Among the top projects stand out Edraakthe first free e-learning platform in Arabic language, and the Queen Rania Teacher Academy (QRTA)which promotes the continuous training of teachers. With the program MadraSati The Queen supervises the renovation of public schools in Jordan and Jerusalem Est, while the Regina Rania Prize for excellence in education He pays homage to the best educators of the Kingdom every year.
On the side of women and young people
In addition to supporting childhood, Queen Rania promotes social development and economic emancipation through for example the Jordan River Foundation (JRF)with pioneering programs against minors and with the aim of offering young concrete tools to free their potential. Rania does not just do it from afar: the queen regularly visits schools, training centers and local projects, meeting children and families to listen to their needs and encourage them to create their own ambitions.
During his frequent missions throughout the Kingdom Hashemita, Rania shows herself as a sovereign close to the people, ready to motivate communities and families to develop income initiatives and look with confidence to the future. It also maintains a direct relationship with students and young entrepreneurs, encouraging them to remain rooted in the Giordani values but, at the same time, to use modern tools, such as artificial intelligence, to face the challenges of the present. “It has never been so easy to create and spread contents that feed division and hatred, eroding our ability of empathy and compassion,” he recalled last March in a meeting at the Palazzo al Husseiniya.
Support for women remains a central priority. During the year, the queen met leader of civil society, entrepreneurs, business women, military and staff of the security forces, reaffirming the importance of enhancing female talents in every sector. A commitment that has found confirmation in his latest public appointments.
Recently, Rania, who had skipped the celebrations for the independence Day Due to a bad back pain, he went to Al Salt, the heart of the region of Al Balqa, To visit associations, entrepreneurs and local communities engaged in female emancipation projects and social development. The first stop was the Jordanian Family Advancement Associationfounded in 2019 to offer concrete support to families and new economic opportunities for women. Welcome by President Fatimah to NSOUR and the Board of Directors, the sovereign listened to the testimonies on the ongoing projects: from professional training to awareness programs, to humanitarian assistance for the most vulnerable bands.
A few days later, Accompanied by the eldest daughter, Princess IMAN Bint Abdullah, the queen met the Amman Design Week team (ADW) to get to know the preparations of the next edition, scheduled in the last quarter of 2026. The co-director Bisher Tabba and Sarah Hejazin illustrated how the fourth edition intends to strengthen the impact of design in the Jordanian company, creating lasting bonds with the creative community and enhancing the successes of the previous editions. Rania and Princess Iman were able to view original prototypes and projects developed by local designers: a preview that reflects the dynamism of the creative scene of the Kingdom.
A real modern matriarch
The pillar of Queen Rania, its inexhaustible source of energy, remains the family, which also leads and shows on social media with pride as a modern matriarch. On June 10, 1993, in Amman, what seemed like a real wedding like many others to be celebrated: LAnd a wedding between the then prince Abdullah bin at Hussein and a young graduate in economics of Palestinian origin, born in Kuwait City, Rania al Yassin. Nobody could have imagined that that union would change the Hashemita monarchy forever.
Last June the couple celebrated 32 years of marriage, celebrated by a message full of love that Rania dedicated to her husband: «How I could not lean on your heart when an entire country leans on you! Every year you are my support and my company. You will always be my home. Happy anniversary! ». Their meeting, organized by Princess Aisha, sister of Abdullah, was an authentic love at first sight: after just six months they were already husband and wife. The fairy tale soon turned political reality. Together, Abdullah and Rania have faced the challenges of a country with a crucial geopolitical position, bridge between East and West, constantly engaged in mediation and in the search for balance.
And to think that Abdullah was not even destined to reign: at the time of marriage, the designated heir was his brother Hassan, chosen by King Hussein in an unstable political context. Subsequently, the same sovereign indicated his son Hamzah as successor, had from the last wife, Queen Noor. According to many observers, it was Rania who gave a decisive turning point. Ambitious and determined, intelligent and of character, he did not limit himself to the role of consort: after the rise to the throne of the husband, he used to because their eldest sonPrince Hussein, was recognized as the future king, excluding the half -brother Hamzah. A move that acute the tensions already existing with Queen Noor. From that moment, Rania has never stopped affecting the fate of the kingdom: it has modernized the image of the monarchy and, as we said, it was the spokesperson for women’s rights, He joined Abdullah during the internal crises and took a position on very delicate international issues, from Islamic radicalism to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Next to the public role, Rania remains a caring mother of four children, Princess Iman, the hereditary prince Hussein, Princess Salma and Prince Hashim, and, since last year, also a grandmother. In August 2024 his first granddaughter was born, called IMAN, daughter of Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa. The little girl immediately conquered the heart of the queen, who on social networks shared tender moments while cradling her, accompanied by an exciting dedication: «IMAN, now you have my heart. Our family has never been so happy! ». The joy of the Jordan Queen doubled last February with the birth of the second granddaughter, Amina, born from the wedding of Princess Iman, older daughter of Rania, with Jameel Thermiotis.
With the daughter -in -law, Princess Rajwa, the queen has established an affectionate and sincere bond. From the start he woven the praises, calling her “the future sweetest and most beautiful bride” and underlining how, for her, Rajwa is as precious as his daughters. Not surprisingly, he described it as “the perfect answer” to all his prayers for his son Hussein.
Between couture clothes and humanitarian campaigns, yoga and battles for rights, post social with family and diplomatic missions, Rania has managed to create a new image of queen: modern, empathic, close to the people.
