According to Reuters, when Prince Hamzah visited the relatives of Covid-19 patients who died after running out of oxygen in a hospital, his visit caused a rift within the royal family that shook the image of Jordan stable in a turbulent region.
His visit on March 14 to the city of Salt was "the straw that broke the camel's back", in the words of a senior official in the institution, because it came hours after King Abdullah visited the hospital and publicly reprimanded the administration for the nine deaths.

Reuters spoke with more than a dozen current and former officials familiar with minor affairs about the events that led to the accusations against Prince Hamzah. On condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject.
Eight people familiar with the situation said that Prince Hamzah's visit sought to shake the image of his half-brother, and prompted the authorities to place him under house arrest and accuse him of involvement in activities aimed at destabilizing the country.
Although King Abdullah and Prince Hamzah announced the end of the dispute, the events that occurred at the weekend revealed fissures within the royal family, which is the safety valve to protect Jordan from turmoil such as those that swept Syria and Iraq.
Some experts are concerned that the row could erupt again, given Jordan's underlying problems such as poverty, unemployment and rising COVID-19 deaths, which they said have contributed to the surface tensions.

"Family strife is over, but we must address the issues that led to it, such as unemployment, COVID-19 management and poverty," Jawad al-Anani, who served as the last chief of the royal court under the late King Hussein bin Talal, told Reuters.
