The couple informed Buckingham Palace \ufeffof their plans to visit Jordan ahead of the announcement, according to UK media.<\/p>\n

It will be Prince Harry and Meghan’s most high-profile outing this year.<\/p>\n

The brief tour is likely to be watched closely following recent seismic developments with Harry’s family in the UK, including the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ufeffPrince Harry and Meghan will arrive in Jordan’s capital, Amman, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

They are being hosted by the director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an advocate of child medical evacuations from Gaza.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Prince Harry has previously worked with Dr Tedros. The pair visited London’s Centre for Blast Injury Studies, which helps military veterans and personnel, when Harry returned to Britain briefly in September. It was during that four-day visit<\/a> that the Duke of Sussex met with his father, King Charles, for the first time in 19 months<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Soon after that visit, Harry donated \ufeff$500,000 (approx. $700,000 AUD) to projects supporting injured children from Gaza and Ukraine, using funds from his and Meghan’s charitable foundation, Archewell.<\/p>\n

The money was given to help WHO with \ufeffmedical evacuations and to fund work developing prosthetics for children seriously hurt in the conflict.<\/p>\n

At the time Harry said: “No single organisation can solve this alone”.<\/p>\n

He added: “Gaza now has the highest density of child amputees in the world and in history.<\/p>\n

“It takes partnerships across government, science, medicine, humanitarian response and advocacy to ensure children survive and can recover after blast injuries.”\ufeff<\/p>\n

While in Jordan, the couple will visit initiatives they have financially supported that help with medical evacuations for children.<\/p>\n

Jordan’s King Abdullah II and his wife have been outspoken on the humanitarian crisis in the region, with Queen Rania calling on the world’s leaders<\/a> to do more to help the children affected by the conflict.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan will also visit the regional headquarters of World Central Kitchen to hear about its food and humanitarian assistance to Gaza. During the aftermath of the LA fires last year<\/a>, Harry and Meghan dropped in to a World Central Kitchen meal distribution site.<\/p>\n

The organisation’s founder \ufeffJos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s was a guest on season two of the duchess’ lifestyle show With Love, Meghan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan will also visit social development organisation Questscope at the Za’atari Refugee Camp, which is home to displaced Syrians.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The Sussexes will also shine a light on the mental health consequences of those affected by the Israel-Gaza conflict.<\/p>\n

A source close to the couple said the two-day visit was a humanitarian one and did not reflect Harry and Meghan’s political views.<\/p>\n

“They are pro-family, pro-children and pro-peace and decency,” the source said.<\/p>\n

“Their continued humanitarian work has reflected this on a global non-partisan, non-politicised level.<\/p>\n

“Their philanthropic organisation funded relief efforts to support children and families after the attack in Israel on Oct 7 and has also supported relief efforts for family and children in Gaza.”\ufeff<\/p>\n
