Original Note:
This is incorrect. Prince William, whilst being the President of the English FA, does not hold voting power for future tournament hosts. Instead this sits with English FA Chairman Greg Clarke, who voted in favour of Colombia in 2020 for the 2023 World Cup Tournament. https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/peter-fitzsimons-condemns-prince-william-and-englands-football-association-for-controversial-world-cup-vote/news-story/63b4f61c67342e519ecc4351994dac9d
