Royal heirs Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan have reunited.
The Prince of Wales, 43, took Prince Hussein, 31, to tour an airbase — and see William's former flight squadron — during the Jordanian heir's trip to the U.K.
The Oct. 15 visit underscored the close ties between Britain and Jordan as well as the friendship between William and Hussein. In 2023, William and his wife, Kate Middleton, attended the wedding of Hussein and Princess Rajwa.
The two airmen princes, who are both trained helicopter pilots, toured RAF Benson in Oxfordshire and were given an overview of how the base provides support for U.K. military operations around the world.
They met trainee aircrew and staff from No. 28 (AC) Sqn and No. 22 Sqn and spoke to RAF personnel about their roles on site and experiences on deployment. It was No. 22 Sqn with which William served when he was a search and rescue pilot for three years at RAF Valley in Anglesey, North Wales. The team has now been moved to RAF Benson.

Hussein, whose parents are King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, then headed to No. 28 (AC) Sqn hangar to meet helicopter technicians and view aircraft.
The base, about 50 miles west of London, is home to a number of RAF squadrons, including No. 22 Squadron, which provides operational testing, evaluation, tactics and training for all aviation in Joint Aviation Command, and No. 28 (Army Cooperation) Squadron, which is the Chinook operational conversion unit, training aircrew before they fly on the front line.

As well as his RAF Search and Rescue service, Prince William was an air ambulance pilot before he started as a full-time working member of the royal family. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Hussein completed his pilot training with the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) in 2019.
Hussein and his wife are currently visiting Britain together, and Princess Rajwa al Hussein was taken on an outing by William's cousin Princess Eugenie to see how a charity helps provide artwork to health care settings to aid mental health support.
