A new photo shared by Crown Prince Hussein shows King Abdullah as a doting grandfather.

Taking to Instagram, Crown Prince Hussein shared a photo of the King and his six-month-old daughter, Princess Iman. The Crown Prince also revealed the name his father has chosen to use as a grandfather.

While children use grandpa, papaw, grandfather or other variants in the English-speaking world, in Arabic, grandfathers are called “Jiddo.”

Crown Prince Hussein captioned his photo in Arabic “Iman with her precious grandpa,” and then wrote in English “Iman and Jiddo.”

The King is seen playing with Princess Iman as she touches his cheeks with her hands.

Queen Rania has shared images with her granddaughter, but there haven’t been many photos of the King with his first grandchild.
