Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have wrapped up a two-day visit to Jordan that was intended to showcase their humanitarian work, but instead has been overshadowed by what insiders are calling a “glaring royal snub.” The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Amman late Tuesday night (February 24) for what critics described as a “pseudo-royal” tour of the Middle East. Within hours, they began a string of carefully staged engagements with charity organizations, as well as a roundtable at the British Ambassador’s residence alongside officials from the World Health Organization. Yet despite the packed schedule and the couple’s partnership with the WHO through Archewell Philanthropies, one meeting never materialized.

The absence was seen as particularly striking given the depth of ties between Jordan’s royal household and the British monarchy.

At the same time, King Abdullah and Queen Rania were honored guests at Charles’s coronation, and Queen Rania has held several meetings with Queen Camilla focused on women’s issues.

For instance, the two famously watched England defeat Panama during the 2018 World Cup in the Crown Prince’s “man cave” at Beit Al Urdun Palace. William and Catherine, Princess of Wales attended Hussein’s wedding in 2023, and in October last year William and the Crown Prince carried out a visit to RAF Benson, the Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire, England.

King Abdullah held talks in Amman with Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the WHO and a central figure in the Sussexes’ trip. Official images showed the King seated with Tedros and a sizable delegation. Harry and Meghan were nowhere in sight.

The encounter was brief and carried none of the ceremonial weight typically associated with visiting royalty. A third insider described the trip as “a pseudo royal visit, mimicking many of the things William and Kate would have done,” and criticizing the visit as “lacking in the ceremonial side of things.” The role of the British ambassador was criticized because Meghan and Harry are no longer working royals The Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan to Windsor Castle today. 📷: #princeandprincessofwales pic.twitter.com/k5rI5VFIOg — HELLO! Canada (@HelloCanada) October 15, 2025 The couple were hosted at the private residence of Phillip Hall, where the ambassador publicly thanked them for coming to Jordan during a roundtable also involving the UN and WHO. Former Conservative minister Tim Loughton called the move “entirely inappropriate.” “They are not working royals and do not represent the British Government or UK PLC,” Loughton said. “Given their capacity to say unhelpful things which border on political, giving them an official platform could be construed as them saying something that represents official UK policy.” Image credits: Melanated_Mona He added that while it would be “legitimate for the embassy to assist on security issues and neutral briefing,” it should not involve “anything that platforms them on what should clearly be seen as a private visit by private individuals.” One royal insider described the ambassador’s involvement as “intriguing.” Image credits: Aaron Chown – PA Images “Once again, British diplomats are involved. Quite why they have been there to welcome two private individuals is unclear to me,” the source said. “Perhaps there’s frustration at the Foreign Office at the lack of overseas visits by some members of the family and they see this as a chance to get the UK viewpoint over and showcase what Britain is doing in the region.” Meanwhile, back in Britain, the Royal Family are quietly managing the fallout from last week’s arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a development that has done considerable damage to the family’s reputation. “Publicity stunt.” Critics argued the Sussexes’ visit had less to do with their country and more to do with their own brand Image credits: KarenRe56616976 Image credits: susi_spencer Image credits: LilyAnne5o3i Image credits: 46judeds Image credits: ninasdolcevida Image credits: sands_parg Image credits: ninasdolcevida Image credits: EllyPrincy Image credits: barbzag Image credits: MFTarotCardRdr Image credits: TaMaraPhoto3 Image credits: ArunChandranGlo Image credits: PalmaSeljan Image credits: Maby106 Image credits: smellysunday1 Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Receive Brutal Royal “Snub” On Trip To Jordan Reviewed by New Viral Feed on 11:53 Rating: 5

Everyone in life has different experiences and uniquely lives them out. However, there are some things that we can all relate to, or at least laugh at. Those things happen to most of us and we don't even realize that. That's what this artist named Kristen Pinpin (better known as Plamondon on Instagram) illustrates. The artist creates very relatable comics and tackles topics like relationships, motherhood, and pregnancy, while also including a bunch of silly, unrealistic, and unexpected comics that are bound to make your day brighter. The artist wants to show that you're not alone and that many people go through the same things. Kristen recently became a mother, so if you're a parent, you will have loads of stuff to relate to with her illustrations.

She creates comics about the struggles of pregnancy and how difficult it gets, what it's like to be a parent and raise a baby, while still making silly and simple illustrations. #2 © Photo: plamondoncomics The artist spoke to Bored Panda: "The main goal of my comics/illustrations are to make people laugh and lend some levity to the world, and sometimes I even try to make people think. I'm not sorry about it!" Kristen shares how she got into art in the first place: "I've been drawing since I could pick up a crayon. It's the first thing someone told me I was good at, probably my parents. Even as a toddler, it went straight to my head and I haven't stopped since. #3 © Photo: plamondoncomics Kristen has a very specific sense of humor—in her Instagram bio, she writes: "My comics r funny if ur drunk enough." The artist makes comics with silly twists or ones that are weirdly relatable, like how you immediately trust people who have dogs or how putting ketchup on pasta is a crime against food. #4 © Photo: plamondoncomics "The hardest part is preventing burnout to continue producing them. I have managed to curb that by exploring different types of humor, angles, facial expressions, etc." Said the artist when asked what difficulties she faces while creating art. #5 © Photo: plamondoncomics Kristen also touches upon themes like feminism. She does so in a very silly and fun way, like a man telling a werewolf-girl that she should shave because "men don't like hairy women" or someone telling a woman to smile and she [is bad] his blood out because she's a vampire. I'm sure every woman has heard something like that before and finds it relatable, but Kristen finds a way to illustrate those topics in her comics in a fresh way. #6 © Photo: plamondoncomics "My main themes/topics in my comics are relatable everyday scenarios like relationships, health, etc, parody/sardonic comics about social or political ideology, and absurd ones where I flip the script in some way. I don't like to tie myself down on one style as an artist, but my Ah, Mince! Comic style is cartoony with special attention to facial expressions and flailing limbs." #7 © Photo: plamondoncomics "I started this comic in 2015 to curb my depression. Can I say that? Haha. I have always used humor to help me through my life so I began drawing for fun, took a year break, then started more seriously making once I had developed some skills and was no longer depressed in 2017. I'll continue making Ah, Mince! comics until it no longer feels right to me. I have a big mouth and lots to say, so my comics are how I put those ideas and feelings out into the world in a digestible way. For as long as I have strong opinions and feelings, I continue to feel inspired." #8 © Photo: plamondoncomics Kirsten advises other artists out there: "I'd have different advice for different reasons to create art. If you just want to create art, my advice would be to start immediately. Draw what compels you. Don't worry about it. Art can be very therapeutic. For more professional advice: be willing to put many hours in and not stop with the fundamentals, have concrete career goals, and not be afraid to fail. Failure is key to success long term, as scary as it may be." #9 © Photo: plamondoncomics The artist tells us some crazy facts about her life: "Hoo boy, there's a lot I could say. I was adopted, grew up in a cult, lived in three countries, traveled to many places I between, and my newest adventure is motherhood. I don't want to sound pretentious but I'd say I've lived a very odd life thus far. It has been stressful and I think that's where my sense of humor formed as a coping mechanism, but it has also been enriched by these experiences by teaching me more than I could I learned staying stagnant in one place, and one comfortable lifestyle. The more you see, the more people's stories you hear, the bigger your world opens up." #10 © Photo: plamondoncomics #11 © Photo: plamondoncomics "I'd just like to say thank you for having me, I hope I can make your readers "heh" a few times and maybe even minutely improve their day".
