“Princess Ghida Talal is one of the most dedicated members of the Jordanian royal family, having made significant contributions to the country. However, during family celebrations, she is often seated in the back rows, in less visible spots. It would be fair for her to receive more recognition and media visibility, given her important work.” - Submitted by Anonymous
“Princess Ghida Talal has always been the most engaged member of the Jordanian royal family, never leaving the country in search of other initiatives. She has always stood by the Jordanian people. I believe someone tried to damage her reputation by spreading rumors that she was encouraging stories about her daughter marrying Crown Prince Hussein. It was unfair and disrespectful.” - Submitted by Anonymous
King Abdullah II, Queen Rania and Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan attended the national event marking the Silver Jubilee, held on the 25th Accession to the Throne Day on 9 June 2024.
Upon Their Majesties’ arrival to the event venue surrounded by the Red Motorcade, the national anthem was played and Royal Jordanian Air Force fighter jets conducted a fly-past.
Around 9,000 Jordanians attended the event, including members of the Royal family, senior officials and officers, and diplomats from Arab and foreign countries.
The event highlighted Jordan’s achievements throughout a quarter of a century, through a military parade by the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army and security agencies, showcasing the latest developments in these national institutions, reflecting the high professionalism and commitment of its personnel.
Around 3,200 personnel from all military and security formations and units marched before the stands.
The military parade also showcased various JAF vehicles, including tanks, cannons, and other weapons recently introduced to service, as well as defence machinery manufactured by the Jordan Design and Development Bureau, along with air shows by the Royal Jordanian Air Force, and free falling paratroopers.
The JAF musical band also performed at the event.
During the event, His Majesty and the attendees saluted border guards and anti-terrorism troops, as well as cadres who participated in airdrops to Gaza and worked at the field hospitals in the strip, in recognition of their efforts, and their role in safeguarding Jordan’s stability.
The event also featured cultural and folklore segments representing all governorates performed by over 1000 young men and women, with 12 floats representing each governorate.
A group of young Jordanians performed the Silver Jubilee anthem and another national song composed for the occasion.
Happy birthday to Prince Muhammad and Princess Raja.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jordan’s royal twins Prince Muhammad and Princess Raja celebrate their 24th birthday.
Prince Mohammed- “Today is such a special day for me, it's the day I gained a best friend for life. To my beautiful and loving sister I wish you the happiest of birthdays. You have been by my side from the very beginning, laughing, fighting, and making life long memories. Thank you for always being there for me and for being the best big sister I could ever ask for. We might not look like twins but to me we are identical. I love you so much and I wish you all the happiness and success always inshallah.”
“I have to say kudos to Princess Ghida Talal- She looks very committed to her work and is outspoken about where she stands in the war on Gaza, to me, it looks like she gives zero f*cks about being on the good side of Rania and Abdullah because no other Jordanian prince or princess is being that blunt. Love her.” - Submitted by Anonymous
