Harry and Meghan arrived on Wednesday morning and were warmly greeted by Ghebreyesus on the steps of WHO’s country office in Amman.

Once inside, the couple joined a roundtable discussion hosted by the WHO with individuals from leading bodies including the United Nations and many of its agencies, diplomatic representatives, and donors.

Over the next two days, Harry and Meghan are expected to meet Jordanian leaders and senior health officials.

They are expected to engage with WHO teams, visit front line health and mental health programmes and meet World Central Kitchen staff who are co-ordinating food relief for Gaza from Amman.

Philip Hall, British Ambassador to Jordan, thanked the Sussexes for travelling to the Middle East.

“Your visit, your support, your appreciation of the efforts that the United Nations, including of course, the World Health Organization, the government of Jordan and others, are making here is enormously appreciated,” Hall said.
