William is still expected to follow England’s progress closely and is likely to use social media to get behind the team.
Qatar has recently received criticism due to their strict rules and criminalisation of same-sex relationships. There have also been reports of poor working conditions for stadium workers.
The Prince is a known advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and made history back in 2016 when he became the first British royal to ever appear on the cover of a gay magazine when he was on the cover of Attitude.

William was photographed by Leigh Kelly for the cover and opened up about his time with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Speaking to the magazine at the time, he insisted: "No one should be bullied for their sexuality or any other reason and no one should have to put up with the kind of hate that these young people have endured in their lives.
"The young gay, lesbian and transgender individuals I met through Attitude are truly brave to speak out and to give hope to people who are going through terrible bullying right now."

William added: "What I would say to any young person reading this who's being bullied for their sexuality: don't put up with it – speak to a trusted adult, a friend, a teacher, Childline, Diana Award or some other service and get the help you need. You should be proud of the person you are and have nothing to be ashamed of."
The Prince takes after his late mother Princess Diana, who always spent time speaking out on behalf of members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
