Queen Rania shares why she missed Independence Day ceremony
Queen Rania did not attend this year’s official Independence Day celebrations, which she traditionally joins alongside His Majesty King Abdullah II, due to a brief rest period for back pain treatment.
In a light-hearted Instagram post, the Queen wrote:
“Happy Independence Day to our beloved Jordan! I look forward to celebrating this day alongside His Majesty each year, but I am tuning in from home after treatment for back pain – with my dear Iman graciously keeping me company.”

In Arabic, she added with humor: “Unfortunately, this time I watched from Aqaba due to a rest period for minor treatment for back pain—after apparently joining the Jordanian ‘disc club’. My darling Iman has been wonderfully helpful.”
Queen Rania’s post received thousands of well wishes from Jordanians, who wished her a speedy recovery and expressed appreciation for her continued warmth and engagement even while away from the ceremony.
