A Royal Visit with Hidden Agenda
Harry and Meghan visit refugee camp in Jordan as part of a two-day tour hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The couple stepped down from their working royal roles in 2020, but they continue to use their influence for humanitarian causes. Their visit comes at a time when the Royal Family is reeling from the arrest of Prince Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
A Message to the World
Prince Harry and Meghan arrived in Amman on Wednesday, where they were greeted by Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The WHO director-general hosted a discussion with key donors and humanitarian partners, including individuals from the United Nations and its agencies.
The couple toured the Za’atari Refugee Camp north of Amman, visiting a youth centre run by Questscope, an organisation that provides activities to engage young refugees.
Archewell’s Role in Humanitarian Aid
In September 2024, Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation announced a $500,000 donation to the WHO for medical evacuations from Gaza. The couple has also partnered with Save the Children and the Centre of Blast Injury Studies on various projects.
Engaging with Vulnerable Communities
The Duke and Duchess played football, visited classrooms, observed musical performances, and met with violinists during their tour. Their visit aims to highlight Jordan’s leadership in regional humanitarian health responses.
You might think this is new, but the Sussexes have been making similar visits since stepping down from their royal duties. They continue to use their platform for good, regardless of the Royal Family’s current troubles. Whether it’s supporting refugee camps or medical evacuations, their efforts are commendable and vital in a world where such support can make a real difference.
