Harry and Meghan arrive in Jordan for refugee summit
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have arrived in Jordan for a two-day summit aimed at addressing refugee needs in the region.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have landed in Jordan to participate in a two-day visit focused on raising awareness and supporting initiatives for refugees. Their trip is particularly timely given the recent turmoil within the British Royal Family, highlighted by the arrest of Prince Andrew on misconduct charges, which may add additional scrutiny to the royal family dynamics. During their visit, Harry and Meghan engaged in a roundtable discussion hosted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Amman. They were warmly welcomed by WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who invited them to meet with various stakeholders including United Nations officials, health experts, and donors to discuss the pressing issues faced by refugees in the region. This engagement underscores the Sussexes' commitment to humanitarian causes, particularly in health and mental health sectors for vulnerable populations. In addition to their discussions with health officials and leaders from Jordan, the couple plans to visit frontline health services and mental health programs. Their presence at such a high-profile summit is expected to draw international attention to refugee issues, reinforcing their advocacy for social justice and health equity. Furthermore, this visit reflects their ongoing commitment to making a difference through their foundation and initiatives aimed at uplifting the most vulnerable communities.
