On June 10, 2025, Queen Rania of Jordan marked 32 years of marriage to King Abdullah II with a touching message and an intimate photograph that quietly captured the essence of their enduring love story. As one of the Middle East’s most admired royal couples, the King and Queen chose a simple but powerful way to commemorate more than three decades of unity—with a candid Instagram post and heartfelt words that resonated far beyond the borders of the Hashemite Kingdom.
In the photo shared on Queen Rania’s official Instagram, the King and Queen are seen embracing, their backs turned gently to the camera. King Abdullah wears a casual black T-shirt, while Queen Rania, elegant even from behind, dons a white top paired with an olive green-and-white striped skirt, her hair styled in a soft high ponytail. The image, stripped of formal pomp, speaks volumes about their closeness and comfort with each other after 32 years of partnership. Her caption was simple, poetic, and deeply personal:
“How can I not lean on your heart and a whole country leans on you! Every year, you are my support and partner. You will always be my home. Happy Anniversary ❤️”
Their love story began in January 1993, when the future Queen met Prince Abdullah at a dinner party. Just months later, they were married in a traditional ceremony held at Zahran Palace in Amman on June 10, 1993. Over the years, Queen Rania has never shied away from expressing affection and admiration for her husband on social media. In 2023, she posted a beautiful video montage of their shared journey to celebrate their 30th anniversary, giving the world a glimpse into their evolving relationship.
While no grand anniversary events were reported this year. King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan attended a football match at Amman International Stadium, where the Jordanian national team, the Nashama, faced Iraq’s Lions of Mesopotamia in a World Cup qualifier. They were joined by their sons, Crown Prince Hussein and Prince Hashem along with their youngest daughter, Princess Salma. The event was marked by significant public enthusiasm, with the stadium erupting in cheers for the royal couple. For the first time in history, Jordanian Football team has qualified for FIFA World Cup.
Earlier this week, Rania shared a picture with her younger son, Prince Hashem to mark the Eid. The caption said, “With my beloved Hashim, the best thing on Eid is a family gathering Note: The national team’s t-shirt is the official uniform for two days 😂 “. In the background, we can see Princess Rajwa and Princess Salma.
The Jordanian Queen had stayed out of the limelight form some weeks due to a minor back pain treatment. She also missed the national day festivities this year and watched the event from her home in Aqaba.
