On Wednesday morning, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry landed in Jordan for a two-day humanitarian mission focused on health and refugee support work led by aid organisations. The trip, announced one day before their arrival, is being carried out in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) and key humanitarian partners.

The Sussexes began their visit with meetings and field visits across two main areas of focus.
At Za’atari Refugee Camp, one of the world’s largest refugee settlements hosting tens of thousands of Syrians displaced by conflict, Harry and Meghan met young people involved in mental health and community programmes. They joined activities including football and arts sessions designed for children displaced by conflict.
In Amman, at a specialist hospital, the couple met children medically evacuated from conflict zones, including the Gaza Strip. Discussions with staff and families highlighted the medical and logistical challenges involved in transferring and treating young patients from active conflict areas.

They also attended a roundtable with WHO leadership, UN agency representatives and health officials to discuss mental health provision and healthcare access for displaced populations.
This visit marks the Sussexes’ first major international trip in more than a year. The focus of the programme is humanitarian, supporting organisations working on health crises and displacement in the region.

Jordan plays a central role in regional humanitarian response. It hosts refugee communities from multiple conflicts and serves as a hub for medical evacuations and relief operations coordinated by international agencies.
The mission centres on direct interaction with affected communities and aid leaders, with attention on the daily realities facing displaced families, from refugees in Za’atari to children receiving treatment in Amman.
