    5 noteworthy things to know about Jordan’s Princess Salma

    Life

    by Sarah Joseph
    53 mins ago

    Princess Salma bint Abdullah of Jordan is the third child of His Majesty King Abdullah II and Her Majesty Queen Rania.
    At just 23-years-old, she’s already achieved an incredible amount and even has some groundbreaking achievements under her belt.
    As she continues to step out into a more public role, here is everything you need to know about Jordan’s history-making Princess Salma.
    She’s made history for women in Jordan

    The beginning of 2020 saw Princess Salma bint Abdullah of Jordan becoming the first female jet pilot in the Jordanian Armed Forces after completing her preliminary pilot training on a fixed-winged aircraft. His Royal Highness King Abdullah II, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces pinned the badge to his daughters military uniform, giving his daughter her wings.
    She has a shared connection with Prince William and Prince Harry

    Princess Salma graduated from the UK’s prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2018 when she was just 18 years old. Prince William and Prince Harry also both attended Sandhurst, with Harry completing his commissioning in 2005 and William a year later in 2006. Princess Salma also following in her father and elder brother, Crown Prince Hussein’s footsteps, as well as her older sister Princess Iman’s. Princess Salma was the third child of Queen Rania and King Abdullah II to complete the course at the military academy.
    Her birthday is almost identical to her older sister’s

    Princess Iman is four years older than Princess Salma, however, their birthdays fall just one day apart. Born on 26 September 2000, Princess Salma celebrates her birthday one day before her elder sister, who was born on 27 September 1996.  Due to the close proximity of their birthdays, last year Queen Rania dedicated an Instagram post jointly to the sisters to mark their birthdays, which are just one day apart.
    The caption read, “When my girls are near, love and laughter are never far behind. Happy birthday Iman and Salma.”
    Princess Salma has a close relationship with her brother, Crown Prince Hussein

    Taking to Instagram, Crown Prince Hussein, the oldest of the four siblings, frequently posts about his sister’s achievements. Most notably, when Princess Salma passed-out from Sandhurst the eldest brother posted a photo of himself and Princess Salma, captioning it, “We are always proud of you. With the family at Salma’s Commissioning Parade at Sandhurst today.”
    Her grandfather was the founder of modern Jordan
    The late King Hussein bin Talal, who reigned from 1952 until his death in 1999, was the grandfather of Princess Salma. Known to his people as Al-Malik Al-Insan, or ‘The Humane King’, King Hussein bin Talal was recognized for his work to improve the life of Jordanians. Crown Prince Hussein is also named after his grandfather.

    Life by Ruman Baig 14 mins ago Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah delivered a poignant speech at the inaugural Web Summit Qatar, urging for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Gaza and stressing the importance of enduring Palestinian solidarity. Speaking in Doha, Queen Rania emphasized the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, condemning the obstruction of vital aid delivery and questioning the moral justification behind the disparity in global responses to human suffering. She emphasized the paradox of increased connectivity amidst isolation, as Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure dire living conditions while striving to share their plight with the world. Queen Rania lamented the historical obscurity surrounding the Palestinian narrative, which has allowed for their dehumanization and the normalization of egregious acts of violence against them. Drawing attention to the harrowing images and stories emerging from Gaza, Queen Rania highlighted the urgency of the situation and called for global solidarity in addressing the root causes of the conflict. She stressed that the suffering of Palestinians is not confined to isolated incidents of violence but encompasses decades of systemic oppression and deprivation.
