If anyone was in any doubt that one can be fabulous at 50, Queen Rania of Jordan has proved it once and for all with her newly-released birthday portraits.

The Jordanian Queen Consort, wife of King Abdullah II of Jordan, turned 50 on Monday, with two new official portraits released to celebrate the milestone. One is all regal glamour, in which the royal is pictured in an embroidered white gown from Ashi Studio. The second is more relaxed (but still unfailingly chic), with Queen Rania donning a navy polo neck jumper and jeans.

The royal also marked the day by posting a sweet family photograph on Instagram, in which she is pictured with her husband, King Abdullah II, and the couple’s four children: Hussein, Crown Prince of Jordan, Princess Iman, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem bin Abdullah. The accompanying caption reads: ‘Nothing beats a day spent surrounded with the people you love most. And thank you all for your lovely birthday greetings – you made my day!’

Speaking to Hello! magazine about her plans for her special day, Queen Rania joked: ‘On past birthdays, I’ve always wished for more time with my husband and kids – and so far this year, time is all I’ve had!’

She stressed, however, that ‘It has been such a blessing to have all my children around, particularly during the months when Jordan was under a strict lockdown… Like so many families, we were grateful to be together, but also heartbroken to see the pain and loss this virus has inflicted on so many around the world. On my birthday, as long as the people I love are nearby, and they are healthy and safe, I could not possibly ask for more.’
