Make way for the gala dinner! After a busy first day of visiting Jordan, Prince Charles and Camilla were the honored guests of King Abdullah II and his wife Queen Rania on Tuesday evening. On November 16, 2021, the sovereign couple hosted a dinner at Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman. The opportunity for the Queen and the Duchess of Cornwall to take out their evening dresses!
Dressed in a light green, subtly sequined long dress, the 74-year-old Briton appeared all smiles on Tuesday night when she arrived at the palace. There, she found Rania from Jordan, with whom she had already spent a good part of the day. The Queen was dressed in an elegant traditional cream-colored evening gown, enlivened by a jewel belt and gold embroidery. An outfit modernized by a pair of metallic pumps. Earlier on Tuesday, when welcoming Prince Charles and Camilla to the palace, Rania from Jordan had already shown off in a white look and golden accessories.
The three-day trip to Jordan is the first trip outside of Europe for Prince Charles and his wife since the onset of the health crisis. As AFP announced, the heir to the throne of England (72) is due to meet with representatives of humanitarian organizations, including the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the welcoming Hashemite kingdom hundreds of thousands of Syrians who fled the violence of the war in their country, bordering Jordan.
The British couple are due to conclude their visit on Thursday and go to Egypt, the second stop on their tour in the region, which focuses in particular on the climate crisis, after the holding of the COP26 last week in Glasgow, and the dialogue of religions. Egypt is due to host the COP27 climate conference at the end of 2022. In Egypt, Charles and Camilla will meet President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his wife Intissar, as well as Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, the highest institution of Sunni Islam.
