0:03 Calarogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pounds Intry. I am your host, Mark, Francis, Harry and Meghan apparently didn't like being out of the new cycle, so they thought to themselves, how do we get people to pay attention to us? The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had visited a refugee camp and a hospital in Jordan as part of a two day tour focused on supporting communities affected by conflict and displacement. We'll give you the details in a second, but let's start with the fashion choices one makes when visiting a refugee camp. The Duches arrived in Jordan alongside Prince Harry wearing an off white designer ensemble with a reported total value exceeding one thousand pounds. Meghan chose the Eves Tweed jacket by Veronica Beard, one of her preferred labels. The off white Italian tweed piece is priced it over a thousand pounds and is designed with a slim waist, defining fit and colonists double breasted cut.

1:00 According to the brand's description, it is tailored to perfection, crafted from off white Italian tweed. The Eaves jacket features a slim waist to finding fit with a clean, colorless double breasted silhouette, the sort of thing one wears to a refugee camp. A cutaway hem further accentuates the waist, while fringe trimmed patch pockets ad dimension style with denim and a heeled booty for a classic VB look. She paired the jacket with matching off white Veronica Beard Marbeaux wide leg trousers, retailing the four hundred and forty eight pounds. The trousers are described as a relaxed, roomy pant that still fills, polished, and yet gives off the vibe that one really cares about the children in the photo ops.

1:40 Later in the day, Megan opted for a different look, drawing attention for a pair of crinkled trousers that trailed along the ground. The crinkled fabric appeared longer than her frame, with the hems brushing the ground and partially covering the soles of her shoes. She paired the trousers with a brown belt, a white shirt, and an olive green tea shirt whose brunette hair was stard in a sleek ponytail. As she joined the duke for the engagement at the camp, which is home to displaced Syrians. That look did not go over well on social media, as many commented on duchess wrinkle pants. When user joked wrinkle wrinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are? Another commented neither Dan nor Princess Catherine would dress in a wrinkled mess. One simple comment asked, what the hell is she wearing paper bags for pants? Harry appeared to be dressed in some sort of short sleeved casual polo and pants well describe as normal and unwrinkled. It also appears from the photos that Meghan had never kicked a ball in her life before Wednesday. At the quest Scope Youth Center in the Zatari refugee camp, which is home to tens of thousands of displaced Syrians, Meghan joined a group of young girls taking part in an outdoor football class. Megan, not showing much form, tried out some passing drills. She stepped up for a penalty and sent a right footage shot past a young goalkeeper. She raised her hands in the air in triumph, earning playful bragging rights over her husband, who had the smarts not to score on a young girl.

3:07 In a refugee camp. Social media reaction to footage of the Dutchess playing football in Jordan was swift, with some critics drawing comparisons to the Princess of Wales. One commenter wrote, cos playing Katherine again, Meghan is obsessed with Katherine. Another added, Okay, this is actually kind of funny. Never kicked a ball in her life, laughing face emoji, With Prince Harry also joining in the football drills. A third wrote, o MG, they are trying so hard to be William and Katherine laughing face emoji. They left RF because they hated this kind of event and now look at them laughing face emoji. They are so ridiculous. Look at her laughing face emoji. The Daanly Mail apparently covered an entirely different event on Bizarro World. Their headline reads bended like Meghan Duchess celebrates scoring a goal against a child and proves she's a match for Kate when it comes to playing the beautiful game.

3:59 Photos suggest otherwise. The Daily Mail also stuck up for the Duchess wrinkle pants, writing down to Earth, Duchess Meghan has no time to worry about creased trousers as proudly focuses on her work in Jordan, with no oneentourage and no six foot ironing board like Andrew's valet used to carry around, as if that's the Andrew detail anyone is worried about. In the standard, Melanie mcdonnaugh asks, do Harry and Meghan not understand that this is not the time for minor royals to be showing off? She writes, what was doctor Ted Ross at Hahnum jebberasis, My apologies for murdering that name, Director General of the WORLDHORF Organization, thinking of inviting Harry and Meghan to Jordan to take away details that Meghan was wearing a severe white suit and a concerned expression, and Harry looked cross and didn't have a tie during their session at a roundtable discussion with various humanitarian agencies about the plight of refugees. I confess that the conference would simply not have registered on my radar if it hadn't been for the presence of Meghan and Harry the gruesome Tucson to pitch a phrase from Julie Burchill ditto. I fancy the rest of the British media we care, we so do about refugees. But there is nothing like a megan dimension to live and the thing up or Pallas in just a moment. As for the actual story from Jordan. Harry and Meghan arrived in Amman on Wednesday at the invitation of doctor Tedros, director General of the Worldhorth Organization. The visit marks the first

5:31 international tour together in eighteen months. They were welcomed at the who's country office in the Jordanian capital by doctor Terros, before taking part in a roundtable discussion with representatives from the United Nations, its agencies, diplomatic missions, and major donors. During the trip, the couple are supporting the WHOSE efforts to highlight Jordan's role in the regional humanitarian health response. Later, they traveled north to Zatari refugee camp, where families live in semi permanent accommodation. At a youth center run by the social development organization Questcope, they met young people taking part in art, photography, music and sports programs designed to support well being and mental health. The couple listened to a music class, met violinists, visited classrooms, and joined a football game with teenage girls on an astro turf pitch In AmAm, the Duchess, met Maria, a fourteen year old burned victim from Gaza, during a visit to the specialty hospital.

6:28 Over the coming days, the couple are expected to meet Jordanian leaders and senior health officials engaged with frontline health and mental health programs, and meet World Central Kitchen staff coordinating food relief for Gaza from the Jordanian capital. Philip Haul, the British Ambassador to Jordan, thanks for the pair, for making the journey, your visit, your support, your appreciation of the efforts that the United Nations, including of course the World Health Organization, the Government of Jordan and others are making here is enormously appreciated, he said. The Sussexes are also due to see initiatives they have helped to fund that medically evacuate children from the war in Gaza to Jordan. In September, the Archwall Foundation announced a donation of five hundred thousand dollars to projects including the WHO, to develop prosthetic limbs and provide support for children from Gaza and Ukraine.

7:17 That included two hundred thousand to the WHO for medical evacuations from Gaza to Jordan, one hundred and fifty thousand to Save the Children for humanitarian assistance in Gaza, and one hundred and fifty thousand to the Center of Blast Injury Studies to advance the development of prosthesis for injured children. The couple first partnered with the WHO in twenty twenty one on a global campaign promoting vaccine equity and co hosted a higher level event at the United Nations General Assembly. Their foundation has also worked with the organization on initiatives aimed at ending violence against children in The Royalist Tom Sykes wrote on paper, it's a working humanitarian visit. In reality, it looks and feels very much like the faux royal tours they have been criticized for in the past. For all the emphasis on health and humanitarianism, the strip is unavoidably political. By centering their visit on Gaza's displaced children and on the regional response to the war, Harry and Meghan are stepping firmly into territory that the Palace has traditionally steered royals away from, precisely because of the risk of being seen as taking sides in international conflicts. They have already found themselves having to answer the question directly does this mean they are pro Palestine and anti Israel In a Q and A circulated media, the team sets out a stock answer. No. It says they are pro family, pro children, and pro peace and decency. Their continued humanitarian work has reflected this on a global, nonpartisan, non politicized level.

8:49 That may not satisfy everyone psychs does observe that given the current royal news cycle, this maybe one time with the Royals welcome Harry and Meghan distracting everyone and they have it.
