\n\tLONDON: Queen Rania of Jordan marked her 56th birthday on Monday with a new portrait released by the Royal Hashemite Court, just weeks after welcoming twin granddaughters to the royal family.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Jordanian queen opted for a relaxed, elegant look in the portrait, wearing cream trousers\u00a0with a pink shirt\u00a0and\u00a0statement earrings, as she posed alongside her husband King Abdullah II.<\/p>\n
\n\tRania also shared a photograph on Instagram of herself surrounded by her four granddaughters \u2014 Princesses Iman (the daughter of Crown Prince Hussein and his wife Princess Rajwa), Amina and new arrivals Talia and Rania.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn the photo, Rania went for a casual look in a white top and jeans, also donning\u00a0a fitness watch. Her hair was down,\u00a0while understated makeup completed the\u00a0ensemble<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cSpending my birthday in the best way imaginable. Love you, my favorite little girls,\u201d she wrote alongside the image.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe twins were born on Aug. 14 to Princess Iman \u2014 the eldest daughter of Queen Rania and King Abdullah II \u2014 and her husband, Jameel Alexander Thermiotis.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn July the queen shared a photograph of Princess Iman during her pregnancy with the words: \u201cThe grandchildren club is growing and we couldn\u2019t be happier for Iman, Jameel and soon-to-be big sister Amina!\u201d<\/p>\n
