Prince William’s sweet tribute to Kate and in-laws during visit to Jordan

In a touching tribute to his wife and her family, Prince William has visited the ruins in Jordan where the Duchess of Cambridge played as a child.

Touring the Middle East, the father of three, stood in the exact same spot where his wife would visit often with her family during their time living in Jordan in the 1980s.

Taking to Twitter, Kensington Palace shared a photo of the Prince alongside one of the Duchess and her family when she was only small.

“The Duke of Cambridge visits Jerash, the same site that The Duchess of Cambridge visited, aged 4, with her sister and father when the family lived in Jordan,” the post read.

The adorable family snap was taken in 1984 while Kate’s father worked in the country and featured on an easel at the Roman Ruins of Jerash during William’s visit.

The Daily Mail published a video on YouTube of the prince as he viewed the photo with Jordanian Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II, was was showing him around the area.

“Michael’s looking very smart in his flip-flops,” he commented as he pointed toward the large image.

Unfortunately, Catherine was unable to make the trip with her husband as she’s busy tending to newborn, Prince Louis and their other two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. 

However, The Sun reported William said she loved her time living in Jordan as a child and commented, “we’ll have to bring the kids next time”.

“She loved it here, she really did,” he said. “She is very upset that I am coming here without her.”

Enjoying the festivities in Jordan, the prince was treated to a traditional ceremony at the ruins before posing with excited local children for a snap.

He also enjoyed watching the latest England World Cup match with the Jordanian prince in his luxury bachelor pad.

Prince William will continue his “non-political” trip of the Middle East, through Jordan, Israel and Palestine, before heading to the Dar Na’mah Centre.

The centre supports women in the area and their families and was established by Princess Taghrid.
