"@Cymru, be very proud. First World Cup since '58. This tournament you’ve played with heart and pride. Looking forward to seeing you at Euro 2024!"; the pair tweeted from their official account.

The tweet was also sent in Welsh, reading: "@Cymru, byddwch yn falch iawn. Cwpan y Byd cyntaf ers '58. Yn y gystadleuaeth hon, rydych wedi chwarae gydag angerdd a balchder. Edrych ymlaen at eich gweld yn Ewro 2024!"

England beat Wales in a decisive 3-0 win on Tuesday while the USA also beat Iran 1-0, allowing the USA to also advance to the next round. England will next play Senegal, the runner-up of Group A, on 4 December.

Before the game, the official Kensington Royal account tweeted: "Here we go…may the best team win! Dyma ni … boed i’r tîm gorau ennill!'

Despite being president of the FA, William did not travel to Qatar, where the World Cup is being held, to watch England and Wales play.

The decision was made due to the Prince's "busy winter schedule," but he may look at heading to the Middle East if England makes it to the final in December. 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.

However William paid a low-key visit to see the squad at St George's Park ahead of their trip overseas earlier in November. He spent time talking to the players before presenting them with their jersey numbers.
