State media showed the monarch and other members of the royal family laying wreaths at the memorial to the unknown soldier and tombs of royalty in the Raghdan palace in Amman at a ceremony on Sunday marking 100 years of independence.
Hamza pledged allegiance to King Abdullah late last Monday following mediation by the royal family, two days after the military warned him over actions it said were undermining Jordan's security and stability.
On Wednesday, King Abdullah said sedition had been quashed and Hamza was "under my care" with his family at his palace.
But Hamza's absence after he appeared in a video on April 3 saying he had been ordered to stay at home had led to speculation about his whereabouts.
In announcing last week the military had warned Hamza over his actions, the government said Hamza had liaised with people linked to foreign parties seeking to destabilise Jordan and had been under investigation for some time.
Hamza had been widely expected to succeed Abdullah as Jordan's next king, until the monarch made his son Prince Hussein his heir instead in 2004, in line with family tradition.
