Prince Harry<\/a>, 41, and his wife Meghan Markle, 44, travelled to Jordan on Wednesday (25.02.26) for the start of a two-day visit to the country intended to highlight support for vulnerable communities affected by conflict and displacement.<\/p>\nThe pair travelled at the invitation of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization. Their programme includes meetings with Jordanian leaders and senior health officials, engagement with WHO teams, and visits to frontline health and mental health programmes. <\/p>\n
They are also due to meet staff from World Central Kitchen co-ordinating food relief for Gaza from Amman, and to visit the social development organisation Questscope\u2019s youth centre to hear from young people participating in creative and wellbeing programmes.<\/p>\n
Harry and Meghan will visit initiatives they have helped fund to medically evacuate children from the war in Gaza to Jordan. <\/p>\n
\nTheir visit comes six years after the couple stepped down as working royals, citing personal freedom and privacy as the driving forces behind the move, which saw them settle in Montecito, California, where they have been raising their two children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four.<\/p>\n
\nTheir visit comes at a time of crisis for the royal family following the arrest of the former Prince Andrew, 65, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. <\/p>\n
\nIn May last year, Harry lost a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK. <\/p>\n
\nBut the Home Office is said to have ordered a full threat assessment for the first time since 2020, amid reports that Harry\u2019s taxpayer-funded armed protection will be reinstated for visits to Britain.<\/p>\n
\nSince relocating to California, the Sussexes have undertaken a number of foreign visits resembling the official tours they carried out as members of \u201cThe Firm\u201d, the colloquial name for the royal family. <\/p>\n
\nIn 2021, they partnered with the World Health Organization on a global campaign to encourage vaccine equity and co-hosted a high-level event at the UN General Assembly. <\/p>\n
\nTheir charitable body has also worked with the organisation on its global initiative to help end violence against children.<\/p>\n
