Jordan's Princess Rajwa was seen leaving the hospital King Hussein Medical Centre in Amman on Wednesday in her first public appearance after giving birth to a baby girl.
Video clips shared on social media showed Crown Prince Hussein holding Princess Rajwa's hand as they exited the hospital surrounded by a crowd of well-wishers. Prince Hussein can be seen carrying a pram on his other hand.
Prince Hussein also shared photos with Princess Rajwa and their baby girl on Instagram, thanking well wishers for their messages.
The royal couple, who were accompanied by Prince Hussein's sister Princess Salma, were seen waving to the crowd when leaving the hospital, some of whom can be heard ululating.
A smiling Princess Rajwa was dressed in a printed linen shirt dress by designer Evi Grintela, which featured a cinched belted waist.
The royal baby, who was officially named Princess Iman bint Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, was born early on Saturday. She is the first grandchild of King Abdullah II of Jordan and Queen Rania.
The Royal Hashemite Court first made the announcement, sharing a video showing Prince Hussein holding the baby while reciting a traditional call to prayer for newborns.
"I thank God for giving us our first granddaughter Iman bint Hussein. I congratulate beloved Hussein and Rajwa for their newborn," King Abdullah posted in Arabic on Instagram.
Queen Rania later shared a series of images, which included her and King Abdullah lovingly cradling baby Iman. The photos also showed Prince Hussein's siblings, Princess Iman and Princess Salma, as well as Prince Hashem with the royal baby.
"Iman, you’ve already got a hold of my heart. Our family has never been happier!," Queen Rania wrote on Instagram.
Iman, which means faith or belief in Arabic, is a popular female name in the Middle East. Prince Hussein also has a sister with the same name. The second child and eldest daughter of King Abdullah, Princess Iman married Jameel Thermiotis, a venture capitalist who lives in New York, at a grand wedding in Amman last year.
The Jordanian royal family announced Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa, who is from Saudi Arabia, were expecting their first child on April 10.
The couple married at a glittering ceremony in June last year. The wedding began with a traditional Islamic ceremony on the grounds of Zahran Palace, followed by a motorcade procession through the packed streets of Amman to Al Husseiniya Palace, where a grand reception took place.

Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
- Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
- Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
- Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
- For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
- Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
- Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
- Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
- Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
- Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
- Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
