Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, met Syrian refugees in the Jordanian town of Ramtha, near the border with Syria on Wednesday (March 13).
The royal couple were greeted by United Nations staff at the King Abdullah Park camp in Ramtha, which is home to just under 1,000 people who have fled Syria during the two-year-old conflict.

Camilla added that she found the situation heartbreaking.
