US EditionHarry and Meghan Snubbed by Jordan Royals on ‘Pseudo-Royal’ Tour
Prince Harry and Meghan spotlighted aid for displaced Syrians and Palestinians during a WHO-led visit, with no meetings held with Jordan's king or queen, WHO officials said.
- WHO-Invited Prince Harry and Meghan arrived in Amman on Tuesday evening for a two-day humanitarian tour focused on displaced Syrians and Palestinians.
- Invited by the WHO, the couple aimed to spotlight humanitarian programmes and soon after touching down began charity engagements with humanitarian organisations and charities in Amman.
- At the National Centre for Rehabilitation of Addicts, Harry told patients `There's no shame in having an addiction`, and they also toured World Central Kitchen and met medical evacuees including Maria, a 14-year-old burn victim at the Specialty Hospital in Amman.
- Despite travelling over 7,500 miles from California, Harry and Meghan were not believed to have met Jordan's monarchs; only Princess Basma Bint Talal met them briefly at the Jordanian Hashemite Fund on Thursday.
- Observers framed the trip as causes over ceremony and noted diplomatic ambiguity as WHO staff and the humanitarian community said Harry and Meghan drew attention to underfunded programmes.
