This is a list of the women who have been queen/princess consort of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan since the emirate was elevated to the status of a kingdom in 1949. Currently, all monarchs of Jordan are required by law to be male, therefore there has never been a queen regnant of Jordan although the law can be changed by royal decree.

It is necessary for the king to give his wife the title of queen consort after his accession and their marriage; otherwise she would only have the lesser title of princess consort. Only one Jordanian consort has not held the title of queen during her marriage.

Notes

  1. Upon divorce Dina was lowered to the title of princess and style of Royal Highness (having been styled Her Majesty as queen).
  2. Renamed Muna al-Hussein upon marriage, she was given the title of princess and the style of Royal Highness on the birth of her first son Abdullah on 30 January 1962.
