Meghan&#8217;s presence in Amman, local sources indicated that they were &#8220;snubbed&#8221; by the senior royals as &#8220;there is no meeting scheduled between the Duke and Duchess [of Sussex] and the Jordanian Royal Family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The only Jordanian royal the couple reportedly encountered was Princess Basma Bint Talal, an aunt of the King, during a visit connected to the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Instead of appearing alongside Harry and Meghan, Abdullah held talks with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and separately met WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Official photographs from those meetings did not include the Sussexes, even though their Archewell Foundation has partnered with the WHO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Observers have speculated whether the absence of a royal welcome reflects scheduling conflicts or a more deliberate distancing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some royal commentators suggest that, given the close relationship between the Jordanian and British royal households, dating back to the friendship between the late Queen Elizabeth II and King Hussein, a formal audience might have been expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One royal insider said Harry and Meghan may be &#8220;disappointed&#8221; not to have been able to meet the King or Crown Prince of Jordan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a pseudo royal visit, mimicking many of the things they or William and Kate would have done when they were part of
