If you’ve had half an eye on the news this week, you’ll know that Prince William is currently on a five-day tour of the Middle East, visiting Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories.
The trip is particularly significant as Kate Middleton and her family lived there for almost three years while her father worked for British Airways.
Kate – who could inherit Princess Diana’s title in future – was just two when they first moved, while her sister Pippa was only eight months old.
However, during a reception at the British ambassador’s Amman residence, Prince William revealed that his wife is actually ‘very upset’ about the trip.
“My wife Catherine is very sorry she cannot be here with me so soon after the birth of our son Louis, but her family remembers very fondly the almost three years she spent here as a child when her father worked for British Airways in Amman,” the Prince told guests.
We hope the family will all be able to visit where Kate grew up another time.
