For a Channel 4 News interview, Harry was also asked about the royal family turmoil that has ensued amid Andrew\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand you don\u2019t wish to talk about your family, your uncle, things back in London you\u2019re here because you don\u2019t want to distract from the work you\u2019re doing on the WHO and on Gaza,\u201d the interviewer said. <\/p>\n<p>During this time, Harry had kept a stony expression, an indicator of his unwillingness to address the topic.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until the interviewer asked why was the Jordan trip important to him, when Harry resumed his usual demeanour and answered the question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, having spoken to Dr Tedros for many months now \u2014 well, years \u2014 but specifically months in the lead-up to this trip, it was really important for us to highlight the incredible work that Jordan does for this region,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work\u2019s been going on for decades, but more so recently, it\u2019s been a humanitarian hub for the Middle East, especially with everything that\u2019s going on in Gaza, and also Syria, as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He further noted that it was \u201ca really important time\u201d for him to come to Jordan and \u201cshine a light and focus on the very real humanitarian catastrophe that has happened and continues\u201d especially when the news \u201cdrops out\u201d of the cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry takes strong stance as reporter asks about Andrew arrest\u00a0 Prince Harry, who had travelled to Jordan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509859,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-509858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509858\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
