Jordanian holiday
NZPA-AP London Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales flew to Jordan yesterday in King Hussein’s private jet for a holiday in the sun. The Royal couple took up a long-standing invitation from the Jordanian monarch, an old friend of the Queen’s and her family, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said. They will spend at least a
week in Joi'dan as guests of the King and his Americanborn wife, Queen Noor. No other details of their holiday were disclosed. In March the Queen and Prince Philip made a fiveday State visit to Jordan under extremely tight security, including antimissile devices under the wings of their British Airways jet. During her stay the
Queen was a guest at a picnic with King Hussein and his wife on the shores of the Dead Sea, which forms part of Jordan’s border with Israel, and spent a night at the King’s Palace in Aqaba, the Red Sea port at Jordan’s southern tip. The Queen also visited the ancient city of Petra, often described as “the city as old as time.” ’
