The Duke and have been seemingly snubbed by the King and Crown Prince of Jordan during their whistle-stop pseudo-royal tour of the Middle East.
Harry
and Meghan landed in the capital, Amman, late on Tuesday night for a
royal-style tour and within hours began series of humanitarian visits to
various charity organization providing countless photo opportunities.
This
included an event at the British Ambassador’s residence with World Health
Organization officials and Embassy staff yesterday that has been branded ‘entirely
inappropriate’ by critics.
And
today the Sussex’s visited a rehab centre in Amman, where the opted
for high-street style over haute couture, Wearing a £109 jacket from Zara.
The
current king of Jordan, Abdullah II, has strong ties to the British Royal
Family and is close to King
Charles – having met him on an official visit to London last year where
they were pictured warmly greeting each other.
Their
relationship is so close that King Abdullah and his wife Queen Rania were
special VVIP guests at the coronation. Queen Rania also had several
meetings with Queen Camilla to discuss women’s issues.
Crown Prince Hussein is also friends
with Prince William spending time together in recent years in Britain and
Jordan, from watching football together
to a joint visit to a RAF base. The Prince and Prince of Wales, who were at a community
event in Llanidloes, Wales, together this afternoon, also attended
Hussein's wedding in 2023.
But
despite Harry and Meghan being in Amman, a source in Jordan told the Daily
Mail: 'There is no meeting scheduled between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and
the Jordanian Royal Family. ’
