England will take on the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the World Cup on Wednesday, July 1, but don’t expect to see Prince William and his family in the crowds. Despite reports that the Prince and Princess of Wales were going to take on a U.S. visit for the July 4 holiday and attend a game, it’s understood that William and Kate don’t have any plans to cross the pond this summer, barring one major moment.
As patron of the Football Association and an avid fan of the sport, royal watchers expected to see the Prince of Wales supporting England during the World Cup this year. However, according to Charlotte Griffiths of the Daily Mail, President Donald Trump “didn’t invite him after all” for a July 4 trip.
