Prince William prepares for major collaboration with Crown Prince of Jordan

Prince William is set to visit Oxfordshire today, October 15, where he will be joined by the Prince of Jordan, Al Hussein bin Abdullah II.

The royals will visit RAF (Royal Air force) Benson to pay “their mutual respect for the Armed Forces”, Kensington Palace confirmed.

According to Royal Insider, “The two heirs will tour the air base, meet with trainee aircrew and service personnel, and observe aircraft operations up close.”

Described as “a meaningful trip for both of the princes”, it has been noted that both the Prince of Wales and his Jordanian counterpart have served in their country’s military. While William performed duties as a search-and-rescue pilot between 2010 and 2013, Prince Hussein was part of Jordan’s Air Force in 2019 and is currently Major in the Jordanian Armed Forces.

Meanwhile, the upcoming meeting between Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein is supposed to be a reunion — the royal heirs also met at Windsor Castle in January this year, after which Jordan’s prince described William as “my dear friend His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales” on his official Instagram.
