Royal Retreat: The Wales Family’s Enchanting Getaway to Jordan
The world often gets a glimpse into the lives of Prince William and Kate Middleton, especially when it comes to their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
While the family primarily enjoys their time at Amner Hall in Norfolk, they occasionally embark on international adventures that spark curiosity among royal fans.
One such escapade took them to a stunning destination tied to Hollywood and a sentimental past for Kate.
A few years back, the Wales family discreetly traveled to Jordan, seeking a vacation away from the prying eyes of the media.
This trip remained under wraps until details surfaced later, revealing an enchanting getaway that included visits to some of the most breathtaking sites in the region.
Among these was Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its remarkable rock-carved architecture and ancient history.
Founded in 300 BC, this iconic city has served as a backdrop for numerous blockbuster films, including “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Dune,” and “Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.”
In 2021, a delightful family photo captured the essence of their trip, showcasing William, Kate, and their three children beaming with joy against the stunning backdrop of Petra.
This charming image not only highlighted their family bond but also reflected Kate's deep connection to the region, rooted in her childhood memories.
Having lived in Jordan for two years during her early youth, Kate's affection for the country undoubtedly influenced her desire to share this experience with her own children.
Kate's early life in Jordan was marked by her family's relocation there in the 1980s when her father, Michael Middleton, worked as a flight dispatcher in Amman.
The Middleton family resided in Jordan from 1984 to 1986, and it's said that Kate even picked up a bit of Arabic during their stay.
These formative years left a lasting impression on her, making the trip back with her family all the more meaningful.
Interestingly, while Kate was on maternity leave with Prince Louis in 2018, Prince William embarked on a solo royal tour to Jordan.
During this visit, he was taken to a location that held special significance for Kate—a spot where she had posed for a childhood photograph with her father.
