This year, Queen Rania of Jordan is notably absent from Davos, a forum that has seen few royal attendees in 2026, opting instead to hand over her spot to her eldest son, Crown Prince Hussein.
That doesn’t mean Rania has slowed her institutional pace. Rather, her recent appearances have focused on local engagements, strengthening the image of the Hashemite Kingdom. At the same time, the queen is embracing a unique family chapter. Her home has been filled with babies, and happiness is just beginning.
Away from the international spotlight, Rania is revealing a more intimate, family-centered side, especially since the arrival of her first two granddaughters.
Her recent posts showcase a relaxed, “at home” persona that contrasts sharply with the sophistication she typically brings to official engagements.
This new phase, marked by everyday life, has deepened her connection with her people and further humanized a public figure already admired for her advocacy on behalf of children, women, minorities, and refugees, and for breaking the mold of the traditional consort.
In a candid new post, the queen shares a sweet moment with her daughter, Princess Iman, and Iman’s husband, Venezuelan financier Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, whom she married in 2023.
The undeniable star of the photo is little Princess Amina, born in February 2025, whose charm captivates everyone’s gaze. The couple is casually dressed, the baby in a simple onesie, while Rania, one of the most stylishly scrutinized women in the world, remains understated, almost invisible in her effortless elegance.
A simple heart emoji accompanies the photo, but nothing more is needed to convey the joy radiating through the Hashemite Court, a family-centered institution where the four royal children have always played a visible role.
Now, the spotlight is delightfully on the next generation, who already stole the show in the royal family’s viral holiday greeting last year.
As Queen Rania embraces this new chapter surrounded by the laughter of her grandchildren, she proves that even royals can find joy in the simple, everyday moments of family life. While Prince Hussein steps confidently into the international spotlight, Rania’s focus on home and heart reminds the world that behind the crown is a grandmother savoring life’s sweetest role.
