Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to Amman, Jordan, on February 25 and 26, hasn’t gone over well with the royal family.
“The palace is livid,” the source explained to Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice substack on Friday, February 27.
The pair attended a World Health Organization round table, met medical evacuees from Gaza at a hospital and played soccer with kids at a refugee camp.
“It looks like a full-scale royal tour without the permission slip,” the source noted.

Another insider pointed out that their timing — just days after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s arrest — “feels like kicking the family while they’re down. Andrew is a five-alarm fire — and the Sussexes just lit a match of their own.”
Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to allegations he shared confidential trade documents during his time as a British envoy. It centers on his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019.
Andrew, however, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
In Touch previously reported that Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, ruffled some royal feathers during what many dubbed a “quasi royal” trip to Columbia in 2024.
“It’s no secret Prince William and King Charles take issue with them using their titles to advance their personal brand,” a source told In Touch at the time. “But the Duke and Duchess are defiant and clearly don’t care what anyone thinks.”
