On June 9, 1999, Abdullah II (62 years old) ascended to the throne of Jordan after the death of his father, Hussein I. That day the enthronement of the current monarch was celebrated, who assumed the head of the State with his wife, Rania (53), as Queen consort. Since then, 25 years have passed and the sovereign, together with his family and his Hashemites, will celebrate it in Amman, the capital of his country.
On the afternoon of this Sunday, June 9, 2024, Abdullah II of Jordan will celebrate its Silver Jubilee more discreetly than 25 years ago, when he became King. However, he did not want to overlook this special date. According to plans, at 6:00 p.m. local time, Amman will witness a national event scheduled to commemorate his anniversary. This is announced by the Royal House along with a video shared on his Instagram profile.
Through their social networks, they have also spread a new official portrait of the Kings, regarding his 25 years on the throne. Abdullah II and Rania of Jordan are shown standing between the national flag and the royal standard. He wears the military uniform, sash, star and collar of the Order of Ali-Hussein bin Ali, the country’s highest distinction. She, in full dress, wears the gold and diamond crown brooch with five arches and four rubies at the base, in addition to the Order of Al-Hussein bin Ali. She puts her hair up in a high bun that she decorates with a diamond tiara.
It is a very special day for both of them, but if possible, even more so for Abdalá II. Rania, in fact, gives him all the prominence in his last one post on Instagram, where she is usually very active.
Along with a beautiful video, in which images of the reign of both appear, Rania of Jordan writes a congratulatory message accompanied by a discreet declaration of love. “You were crowned King on the throne of our hearts. Congratulations on this Jubilee,” begins the consort. The post ends with some loving words: “King of my Heart…Congratulations on your Silver Jubilee.”
Both in the post by Rania and in the one published by the Royal Family to announce the event that will take place this Sunday afternoon, the official logo of the Silver Jubilee of Abdullah II is shared. An image that has been on the official channels of the monarchy for some time.
Since the beginning of the year, the Hashemite Crown has been celebrating and focusing on Abdullah and Rania’s 25 years on the throne. “Is an important national occasion to highlight the achievements made by Jordanians under the leadership of His Majesty the King. “How Jordan wisely and firmly faced fateful challenges and how Her Majesty led the process of modernization of the Jordanian State and the transition to the 21st century,” they indicate in the official channels of the Crown.
Personally, it is also a very special year for Abdullah II and Rania of Jordan. In the coming months, The Kings will become grandparents for the first time. His son Hussein (29), heir to the Hashemite throne, will welcome his first child with Princess Rajwa, whom he married in June 2023.
