Prince William, unaccompanied by his wife Keith Middleton, who will not appear at official events until October, arrived in Jordan, with which he began his 5-day tour of the Middle East.

The first day of Prince William in Jordan, where he was met by the prince of the kingdom of Hussein, stood out sufficiently rich and full of interesting details.

So, the British prince visited a reception honoring the birthday of his grandmother - Queen Elizabeth II, where he delivered a speech in which he remembered his wife Kate Middleton, reports DailyMail.

The Duke of Cambridge said that Kate lived in Jordan for three years, being a child when her father served in the British Air Force. Her family moved to this country in May 1984, when Kate was two years old.

William admitted that Kate, who on April 23 gave birth to a third child and is now on maternity leave, is "very upset" by not being able to accompany him on a trip. She would like to visit the places of her childhood. About Jordan, she had the warmest memories.

After that, the princes watched the replay of the World Cup match between England and Panama:

this game, William could not watch live on the flight because of the flight.

Interestingly, as part of his tour the prince visited a place that is of great importance to Catherine - the city of Jerash. In addition, he even repeated the child's picture of Katherine when she was four years old. On it the duchess posed with her father Michael and sister Pippa against the background of exotic ruins. Recall, recently, Prince William and Kate Middleton reported details of the prince of Louis Prince, which will be held on July 9.
