"Congratulations my dearest Iman; your smile has always been a gift of love that I’ve cherished since the day you were born. I wish you and Jameel a life filled with love and laughter!" Queen Rania posted on Instagram.

Princess Iman's eldest brother, Crown Prince Hussein, also sent his congratulations.

“Warmest congratulations to my dear sister Iman and to her fiancé Jameel on their engagement. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.”

Little is known about Thermiotis, who also goes by the name of Jimmy. Many have speculated that he changed his name to Arabic-sounding Jameel after possibly converting to Islam to be able to legally marry Princess Iman.

Princess Iman is the second-eldest child of Queen Rania, 51, and King Abdullah II, 60. Her siblings are Crown Prince Hussein, 28, Princess Salma, 21, and Prince Hashem, 17. She is the first of her siblings to get engaged.
