Here’s everything you missed from Prince William’s trip to Jordan…

Watching the World Cup

On Sunday the Duke of Cambridge joined Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah at the Beit Al Urdun Palace in Amman to watch England play Panama in the FIFA World Cup. Crown Prince Hussein shared the occasion with his Instagram followers with the caption: “Having a relaxing evening with His Royal Highness Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, after his first day in #OurJordan.”

Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein were both graduates of Sandhurst and enjoyed their downtime, as well as their official visits to the Crown Prince Foundation and a tour of the TechWorks Fabrication Lab.

Prince William couldn't watch the @England match live and avoided finding out the score all afternoon. He sat down with Crown Prince @alhusseinjo to watch a rerun after dinner at the Beit Al Urdun Palace. Well done the #ThreeLions!
