Prince William was on an historic visit to the Middle East on Sunday as the Three Lions took on Panama so he asked the royal to stick it on record so they could watch it later.

Incredibly, football mad Wills managed to avoid the score all day after warning members of his entourage not to talk about the Panama result in his presence. He was quoted, before landing in Amman: “On the pain of death, please don’t tell me the score”!

Following a tour of a tech lab and an evening reception held in his honour, the 36-year-old eventually managed to settle down and catch up on the World Cup.

Kensington Palace shared a picture of Wills sitting beside 23-year-old Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullad II as they watched the Three Lions' record 6-1 win.

They can be seen enjoying the match on a cinema-sized screen in one of the prince's room at the King's residence of Beit al Urdun.

The pair look comfortable as they chilled out on a massive grey corner sofa with about a dozen cushions and glasses of water to toast England's success.
