The Duke of Cambridge’s historic Middle East tour has begun with visits to cultural and business sites in Jordan before he moves on to Israel and Palestine later in the week.
His trip began with an event meeting young entrepreneurs working with advanced technology in the country's capital Amman.
The duke, who is president of the Football Association and a keen fan of Aston Villa, spent much of the day avoiding the scoreline of England’s World Cup group stage game against Panama.
He made the journalists in his entourage promise not to tell him the result because he had made arrangements to watch the match with Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein.
