The Royal Hashemite Court confirmed today, via its official website and social media, that the date for Princess Iman's wedding, which is slated for today, has been determined. Moreover, Al-Mamlaka TV said Wednesday that the wedding would be broadcast live on the Kingdom's screen and digital channels. Now, ahead of everyone's eagerly anticipated royal wedding, here's a look at Princess Iman's life, from her birth until her wedding day.
The birth and education of Princess Iman
Princess Iman bint Abdullah of Jordan, or simply Princess Iman, is Queen Rania and King Abdullah II's second daughter. She was born on September 27, 1996, at King Hussein Medical Center in Amman, Jordan. Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Salma, and Prince Hashem are her three siblings. Her grandfather, King Hussein, was on the throne at the time of her birth.
She enrolled in Amman's International Academy and graduated in June 2014. She was named the top female athlete in her class during the graduation ceremony. Her older brother was a student at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., so she followed him there. The princess later went to New York's Parsons School of Design. Princess Iman received a bachelor's degree in business administration from New York School, according to Queen Rania's office.
Iman speaks Arabic as well as English, the language of her British paternal grandmother, Princess Mona.
The Princess of Jordan does not have a public social media profile, but her active mum on Instagram frequently offers a glimpse of her through candid family videos and images. Through her social networking sites, Queen Rania voiced her approval for her daughter's engagement and the current wedding date. After announcing her engagement, Princess Iman gained the blessing of her older brother, Crown Prince Al-Hussein. And the brother is lovely."
Princess Iman will marry to Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, a financier based in New York
Jamil Alexander Thermiotis, a New York-based banker, is Princess Iman's fiance. Venezuelan born in Caracas. According to British media, the 28-year-old business administration graduate hails from a Greek family and works in New York as the managing partner of a venture capital fund.
Princess Iman, like many members of the royal family, likes horseback riding and other sports. The princess competed in the Middle East Horse Championships when she was just 12 years old, according to Hello. She even came in second place riding her horse, Saqr.
Despite being the Jordanian monarch's daughter, she is not in line for the throne because only male offspring are allowed to ascend to the kingdom. Yet, the little princess is a regular sight at official photographs and royal events both within and outside of her own nation.
By following her mother, Queen Rania, on charitable initiatives and royal functions, Princess Iman has surely gathered lots of tips and expertise in order to appear as iconic as her mother. Although Princess Iman prefers to keep out of the spotlight, she does attend some occasions with her family throughout the year, such as Ramadan and Independence Day festivities. She also attended Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden's royal wedding to Prince Daniel Westling in 2010.
She looked like a regal bride in her formal engagement photo. She looked stunning in her white high neck gown. Jamil, her prospective fiancé, was dressed nicely in a blue two-piece suit and a fresh white shirt.
