Daredevil Duke and Duchess take risky railway walk
When you’re an aide travelling with the Royal Family there’s never a dull day, and as you can see in the gallery above there can also be some very tense moments.
As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continue their tour of Canada they made a spur-of-the-moment decision to visit the railway line the Queen and Prince Phillip stopped in at when they were exploring the region back in 1959.
But not to be outdone by their illustrious forebears, Will and Kate decided to embark on an impromptu railway walk. As you can see in the gallery above, this tricky manoeuvre saw the royal couple sidestepping on the very edge of the track next to the train, all the while running the risk of falling into the icy cold waters below.
Royal aides’ hearts were in their mouths as the daredevil Duke and Duchess performed the manoeuvre. And justifiably so – the prospect of fishing a royal family member out of freezing cold rapids isn’t exactly that appealing.
But it looks like it was all in good fun. To see the risky moment, scroll through the gallery above. What’s your favourite memory involving the Royal Family? Share your thoughts in the comments section below, we’d love to hear from you.
