MEGHAN Markle has been snapped trying to take a leaf out of Princess Kate’s book as she plays football with Prince Harry on their faux royal tour.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen for the first time since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested as they began a two-day visit to Jordan.

The pair are visiting the country to highlight efforts to support communities affected by conflict and displacement.

During their visit to the QuestScope Youth Centre at the Za’atari refugee camp, Meghan was snapped blasting a penalty past a young goalkeeper and into the back of a net.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry, donned in blue jeans and a navy t-shirt, saw his more lacklustre attempt at goal saved.

Meghan was later seen smiling and laughing alongside the child refugees, many of whom are displaced Syrians, delighted with the victory over her husband.

It seems she was taking a leaf out of Princess Kate’s book who has regularly displayed her sporting prowess during public appearances, playing rugby, tennis and hockey.

Princess Kate was previously snapped aiming a shot at goal when she visited the Cambridgeshire County Day at Newmarket Racecourse in 2022.

The Duchess of Cambridge also played hockey with the GB hockey teams at the Riverside Arena in 2012 as she visited the Olympic Park.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped down as working royals in 2020, travelled to meet the director-general of the World Health Organisation as they kicked off their pseudo-royal tour.

It marks the pair’s first international trip together in 18 months.

Harry was seen in a stylish black blazer while Meghan wore an all white outfit as they stepped out of a car in Amman, Jordan.

The director general warmly welcomed the couple on the steps of the WHO’s country office in the Jordanian capital Amman, kissing and hugging the duchess and also embracing the duke.

The pair were ushered up a flight of stairs and into the grand building where they attended a roundtable discussion hosted by the World Health Organisation.

They met with individuals from leading bodies like the United Nations and many of its agencies, diplomatic representatives, and donors.

The couple are also scheduled to visit initiatives they have helped fund to medically evacuate children from Gaza to Jordan.

Harry has yet to speak formally about his uncle’s arrest for misconduct in a public office.

In his memoir Spare, he wrote how despite his uncle Andrew facing allegations of sexual assault, there was no suggestion he lose his taxpayer-funded security.

It comes after a six-day police search of Andrew’s former home was finally completed on Tuesday night.

Harry’s uncle was taken into custody at the end of last week with officers scouring the 30-room property after they raided Andrew’s current temporary address at Wood Farm.

The 66-year-old spent 11 hours of his birthday in custody being quizzed by officers investigating his ties to paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein.

Thames Valley Police previously said it was reviewing claims Andrew allegedly shared sensitive information with Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.

Cops also confirmed at the time that the force was separately probing allegations a woman was trafficked to the UK by Epstein to have a sexual encounter with Andrew.

Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied wrongdoing.

The humiliated royal’s brother, King Charles, said “the law must take its course” after expressing his “deepest concern” over the arrest.

The King released a lengthy written statement in the aftermath of his brother’s arrest, which it is understood Kate and William – the Prince and Princess of Wales – supported.

The King said: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.

“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.

“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.

“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.

“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not officially been heard from since Andrew was taken into custody.

However, on the day of the arrest Harry shared a “moment he looks forward to the most” in a video for charity WellChild.

In the video he described the annual charity awards hosted by WellChild as a “magical” celebration of children who face complex medical needs with “extraordinary joy.”

He has been patron of the national charity for seriously ill children for 18 years.
