The couple began their visit at the Za’atari refugee camp in Amman, joining young residents for a football game and visiting classrooms to meet teenagers.

Earlier, they participated in a roundtable with UN agencies, including UNRWA, the World Food Programme, and UNICEF, alongside diplomats from the EU, Italy, Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands to discuss humanitarian and health challenges in the region.

They will also tour the regional headquarters of World Central Kitchen, which provides food relief in Gaza.

The visit, described as “non-political,” was welcomed by British Ambassador Philip Hall, who praised the couple’s support for UN and Jordanian efforts.

Since stepping back from royal duties, Harry and Meghan have repeatedly undertaken humanitarian initiatives, including aid for children in Gaza and Ukraine.

The couple will remain in Jordan until Friday.

Meghan arrived in an all-white outfit, while Harry wore a brown blazer with beige trousers and a white shirt.
