Prince William Recreates Kate Middleton’s Childhood Photo During Jordan Visit

During his visit to Jordan, Prince William recreated a sweet moment from his wife's childhood by posing for a photo on the same rock where Kate Middleton played as a child.

The Duke of Cambridge was touring the Roman ruins at Jurassic when he stumbled upon the iconic spot that was marked with a large picture of Kate with her dad, Michael Middleton, and sister, Pippa.

The photo was released by her family ahead of her marriage to William back in 2011.

William joked that he would have to take his children to Catherine's Rock on his next visit before climbing onto the rocks himself to be photographed in the same spot.

The father of three was clearly enjoying his time in Jordan, where he is on a five-day tour of the Middle East.

However, the region is a minefield of sensitivities, and the Duke of Cambridge will have to manoeuvre carefully to avoid missteps.

Kensington Palace has underlined the non-political nature of His Royal Highness's role, in common with all royal visits overseas.

Nevertheless, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict typically looms large, even during largely ceremonious visits.

William will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah at a time of widening rifts between the two sides.

William's visit to the region is significant because it is where three decades of British rule between the two world wars helped establish some of the fault lines of today's Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Britain's withdrawal from the region after World War II led to the eventual establishment of Israel and Jordan.

Jordan's ruling Hashemite dynasty has strong ties to Britain.
