On Aug. 19, the Crown Prince of Jordan, 30, posted a photo of his relatable Monday morning with his first child, who was born on Aug. 3. The shot showed Crown Prince Hussein in his military fatigues holding Princess Iman as he stood in a sunny bedroom. Princess Iman was dressed in a matching pink onesie and hat, and Crown Prince Hussein held her close with a blue and white patterned animal blanket.

“The best morning before work,” Hussein captioned the snap in Arabic onInstagram. “With my precious one,” he wrote in English.

Crown Prince Hussein and his wife,Princess Rajwa, became first-time parents when Princess Iman was born, and his social media post mentioned that he was already back to work. On June 6, a few weeks before his 30th birthday, the Royal Hashemite Courtannouncedthat Hussein was promoted to the rank of major in the Jordanian Armed Forces-Arab Army.

It’s a royal tradition for heirs to the throne to gain military experience, and Crown Prince Hussein is a graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, likePrince WilliamandPrince Harry.

The Jordanian royal family expanded when Princess Iman was born on Aug. 3, makingQueen Raniaand King Abdullah first-time grandparents. While the Royal Hashemite Court confirmed shortly after that the child would be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Iman bint Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, receiving a princess title and HRH styling as expected, she did not enter into the line of succession.
