Charles and his wife were greeted on the tarmac by a Jordanian color guard. They were slated to meet with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Queen Rania at the royal palace in Amman and later visit religious and historical sites during their three-day trip to the kingdom before heading to Egypt on Thursday.
